Breasts/nipples in a hub

   RainbowRecognizerposted 17 years ago

   I've read no nudity or profane content, but I'm doing a hub related to breasts in a very tactful, tasteful way, not taking from Ms. Snow, either!  (Saw the sagging man breast post "stuff").  I would like to put in some pics of just breasts, possibly art, and one side shot of a nipple with a baby.  This is not a sexually exploitive hub. 
   
   Any feedback - just do it and see what happens?
   
   Thanks a bunch!

      The very idea is absolutely disgusting, there is no way breasts can be shown in a tactful, tasty way and if you show just a nipple with a baby you are asking for it from the religious and deserve to burn in hell you worm, people in the US can't stand the thought of all those nipplelets hanging around and disturbing the sanctity of the good and the pure and are all praying for your everlasting soul.  One must never, never equate nipplelets with tots.  Go and sin no more my son. Above all, never let thy left hand know what thy right hand is doing ,Careful that the breast doth not sway your way and smite you in your eye, let us go and speak no more of this.  You have broached a tricky, tenuous, and troubling thing.  Profane my son?  Only the ones raking in the coins are allowed to do that. I didn't sign for adsense so they put their ads in anyway. Aaah, the future, ain't it grand?

   As for me - it is perfectly OK. But there are other people here, who think about those things differently
   
   I would wait for HP staff response - if you want to be sure before you go

      I'm sure, Misha, that it is OK with you...   Since I have a unique perspective that breasts are sensual and so much more, I don't think it's offensive, but I won't go into all of that here, I'll save it for the article...
      
      Okay, I'll wait for the staff...
      
      Thanks!

   I think that if google will remove their ads because of the image, it will not be OK.
   
   Just a guess on my part though.
   
   As far as I'm concerned, fire away

      Good thought, didn't even think of that (google's take).  Ok, still awaiting staff response... I've got a good one brewing here

         Hi, I write a lot about this stuff. It is against Google's TOS to include the nipple in any picture, however, cleavage is okay, as long as it is not what is deemed to be an 'obscene' close up.

            I'd say that 'just breasts' would violate the TOS as well.

               If it helps, here's an extract from an email discussion I had with a Google Rep on the subject:
               
               AdSense publishers are not permitted to
               place Google ads on pages with adult or mature content. This includes any
               material that is not appropriate for all audiences. While this obviously
               includes full nudity or sexual activity, it may also include textually
               explicit sexual content, image or video content containing lewd or
               provocative poses, strategically covered nudity, see-through or sheer
               clothing, and close-ups of anatomy that would be inappropriate if shown
               nude.

                  That's the kicker here, Mark.  It's perfectly legal to expose one's nipple and breast while feeding.  And that is the jest of my article in some ways - the whole reality of a woman's breasts - I'll get into that in the writing.  So anyhow, I'm not selling the article as something sexual - it's to relate and recognize the total beauty and function of the breast.  So I don't feel like I'd be violating policy.  I think I may try it and see what happens...
                  
                  Thank you all so far for the feedback - it is very helpful!

               According to the above statement, there are a LOT of hubs that HubPages is allowing which violate those conditions.

         Okay, what do you think if I impose a shape over the nipple, maybe a heart?  So the nipples would be covered with a sort of pasty?  How would that work? 
         
         I'm telling you - pictures of artificial bottle nipples and pacifiers are everywhere - for goodness sake they are like dildos really - a sub for the real thing!  Okay, I'll get off my soap box now
         
         Thanks,

            Google's policies are a bit hard to follow in general, as they have Adsense ads appearing for things that I wouldn't consider to be appropriate for "all audiences" anyway. When they say this, I assume what they are really saying is that the content is kid safe, although, lets face it, there are plenty of non sexual things that kids dont need to be exposed to either.
            
            The Internet isn't suitable for unsupervised children anymore than letting them run around on their own in the center of a city would be...  odd policies aside however, I have a hub here on nipple slips, which has little faces over the nipples, and there still aren't any google ads on it... so there you go....
            
            I think Google deems nipples to be more offensive than breasts... personally I think this is madness, and borders on being woman hating.. (after all, you can show a man's nipples to your heart's content), but them is the rules of the Google Gods.
