I find it a little – no, a lot – weird that a woman’s vagina is being ever-so-subtly referred to as a “box”.

Whereas the Tom Ford fragrance ads in Butt magazine are very much undoctored, although that is in keeping with the tone of the magazine.

Sometimes a crotch shot is just a crotch shot.

The only one that I think might not be intentionally aiming at the crotch is the one for Seductive Search. It just seems like it’s something that would be placed best at the bottom, whether the bottom of the picture is the ground or a part of her body. And those Tom Ford ads are thoroughly disturbing.

Whereas I love the Longchamp one because it looks like they’re riding a handbag like it’s a motorcycle. Very seriously.

I love that the Longchamp one looks like a woman birthing that oversize, ugly handbag whilst her almost identical birthing partner clutches her in one of the traditional ‘supportive’ postions!

Because when incestuous lesbians mate, we all know they produce… handbags?

Interesting that the photos here have been so processed that the crotches in question appear more like the smoothed over non-genitalia found on Barbie dolls than actual sexual organs.

In the Tom Ford photos for instance, you should arguably be able to see the vagina through the translucent perfume bottles. Clearly, the genital features have been photoshopped away.

Lesson learned: You should desire pussy, but god forbid that it actually looks human. (Sorry if that’s crude.)

I wouldn’t want to buy any of those products based on these ads. And the “most sought after box on the planet” woman is, um, disturbingly plastic.
