Mias and Elle::Pillow Talk

I wonder how Mias took it.

*stressedjenny drew a picture and asked what we thought they were thinking. Here is a link to it: [link]

And well, this is the first thing that came to mind. It's actually a question of my own, but I think it's a no.

Don't get mad, but my first instinct was to tag this because I imagined my younger sister came skipping up to me and asked, "Hey, Becca, whatcha' writin'?" And promptly began to peek over my shoulder.

Now my little sister knows what sex is (I think?) because she just recently had "family life science" at school. And I talked about it with her and answered all her questions, and that was fine, you know, from a logical perspective. We're girls. We get periods. A period is where the lining of the uterus is ejected through "that part" when an egg shot from a fallopian tube is not fertilized, and eggs get fertilized by having sex. The End. She squirmed a little, but she handled it well because it was logical.

But talking about...the intimacy of sex and what goes on afterwards (like pillow talk) is not something I think I'm quite prepared to share with my little sis. Even from an artistic point of view. I'm game to talk about it with her, but when she's older. Like thirty. I mean, I helped change her diapers and watched her take her first steps. She was a baby just yesterday, I swear. Now she's about to start middle school?? GAH! I'm very protective of her. I can't help it.

But I did war with myself about tagging this. This, after all, is an artistic website. That's why ART is capitalized in deviantART. And from an artistic POV, the title of the artwork fits it perfectly. It's beautifully drawn and really captures a perfect intimate moment, even from a joking perspective. And it's not porn, because you don't see anything. It's just hints. Any mature adult would get it. Why tag it and put a label on it when it's just a picture of something people do in their everyday life? And yes, kids do in fact see worse in high school, because kids are immature and think it's funny, because it's something unfamiliar to them. And the artist felt it shouldn't be tagged. Okay. So she didn't tag it. If you're looking at her art you feel is revealing, wait until there are no little eyes watching. It's her art. Don't tell her what to do with it. So a part me didn't want to tag it either. Afterall, whenever I am looking at an intimate picture that wasn't tagged and my little sister comes skipping up, I just close it. The End. She didn't see it.

So I decided not to tag it, in respect for the artist, who didn't want to tag her art. But the super-duper-overly-protective-older-sister part of me REALLY wanted to. But it's not my art.

I realize this is a looooong description for something so short, but I felt like it needed to be said.
