Before anyone of temperate disposition faints with the vapours please let me make one thing clear - this is not about hairy hippies from the 1970's, you'll probably be over 40 to get that reference. No instead this is about how sex increases the hits I've got on my Flickr account. Over the past day or so I've created a lovely little painting of a nude woman kneeling on a red cushion. It really is not explicit in any way, unless of course if you consider bare breasts which I don't. Anyway, I posted a couple of progress photos on flickr under the heading Nude Woman V1 and Nude Woman V4. I didn't publish any of these images to any group so as to try and generate any interest in them. Normally this type of action might generate a few hits but nothing more than 10 at the most.
That of course is without the power of SEX. Between these two images I have generated nearly 100 hits in just two days - unheard of for me. However this is nothing compared to Nude Woman Kneeling - Final - the final version which to date has generated 140 hits on its own. The cumulative effect of this can be seen in the daily activity graph. I have an idea of a painting I may create to really test just how powerful the drawing power of sex is. It won't be too explicit but I will use this to test the drawing power.
Now all of this should come as not surprise, which at one level it doesn't, nonetheless it is quite shocking to see how powerful a draw sex is. Of course there is another posible reason for the increased traffic - the painting is so good that lost of people want to view it. Only time will tell.
