But ladies, don't hate me because I'm beautiful...
A 2008 study found that women showed signs of arousal watching pretty much anything: masturbation, straight sex, girl-on-girl, guy-on-guy, bonobo chimps, everything—except pictures of naked men, which did not float a woman’s boat.

Re: the study, which I believe is Meredith Chivers's, women have to see ACTION on video and not just photos. But it seems women's sexuality may be more "fluid" than men's.
Note that the American version has a compelling narrative component not seen in the other production, an engagement of the photographer with his subject which powerfully distinguishes the composition.

Science teacher's suspension spurs petition drive
Cortines School's Greg Schiller was removed by L.A. Unified after two students' projects were deemed to resemble weapons.
Schiller was ordered to report daily to a district administrative office pending an investigation after two students turned in science-fair projects that were designed to shoot small projectiles.
One project used compressed air to propel a small object but it was not connected to a source of air pressure, so it could not have been fired. (In 2012, President Obama tried out a more powerful air-pressure device at a White House Science Fair that could launch a marshmallow 175 feet.)
Another project used the power from an AA battery to charge a tube surrounded by a coil. When the ninth-grader proposed it, Schiller told him to be more scientific, to construct and test different coils and to draw graphs and conduct additional analysis, said his parents, who also are Los Angeles teachers.
A school employee saw the air-pressure project and raised concerns about what looked to her like a weapon, according to the teachers union and supporters. Schiller, who said he never saw the completed projects except in photos, was summoned and sent home. Both projects were confiscated as "evidence," said Susan Ferguson, whose son did the coil project.
L.A. Unified School District administrators have told Schiller that he was removed from his classroom for "supervising the building, research and development of imitation weapons," said union representative Roger Scott.
School administrators did not respond to inquiries. District officials said they could not comment on an ongoing probe.
"As far as we can tell, he's being punished for teaching science," said Warren Fletcher, president of United Teachers Los Angeles.

You photoshop books in to cover up something you don't want in the photo that would ruin the composition. A distracting piece of art. Certificate of completion of gun marksmanship course. Benghazi evidence. A butt plug. Stuff like that.
You can't just crop the photo because their format specifies a certain size for the photos.

So far, most everyone seems to agree that the leading contender for Pop Culture Hate Fuck Champion in the second decade of this century is Flo the insurance lady.

BTW, what's "Rilke" in the title of this blog post? I worry that because Amy didn't give this daily playground feature a consistent name, first-time visitors will think she's gone nuts.
