Is that what kids these days are calling it, “embracing?”

His head has a non sexualizable tilt to it. I swear.

it has the "I had a shit week at work and all I need is a fucking cuddle" feel to it and I relate so hard

I learned a new term for eating pussy.

With that head angle? Where exactly do you think the pussy is located?

You never know, maybe my dude can slick his eyebrows back with his tongue.

Looks like she was a bit too sensitive for a moment and pushed him away for a second.

I know you've had a few silly answers but just to put an interpretation on this, it kinda evokes that he is sad because he wants her emotionally but that she's only interested in sexual gratification. She's pushing him at her crotch, he's almost weeping, squeezing her legs out of despair. Powerful stuff!

edit: I think its pretty fucking cool

Or maybe that he wants her, but she is trying to push him down (and away).

I definitely get more of what you're saying from the original statue, but with this particular piece I get more of what I said.

That is to say in the statue I think she's pulling away more, where as I don't see that here. If anything it's almost like she's pulling him in by the hair.

I love this interpretation! When I first saw the statue I sorta had the feeling there was a bit of repulsion but I think looking at her face I get the sense that she pities him. In my head cannon for the drawing I loosened her arms and she just doesn't know what to do when confronted with this man who needs someone so she pushes away.

Looks like he's begging her to stay, but she's having none of it.

I like this interpretation! When I first saw the statue it's based on I also thought it seems like she's kinda repulsed by him

Based on Gustave Vigeland's statue of the same namd

I love this statue. Ig it depicts how broken a man can be that almost makes him fall down and holds the only thing that can makes him whole(in here, a woman). It symbolises love and pain according to me.

I find myself getting comfortable by looking at it.

Thank you for using 'woman' in the title.

I assume because most Redditors have the evidently uncontrollable urge to always refer to women as "females"?

Every man feels like doing this every once in a while, in one particular context or another. Unless they have some seriously unhealthy issues.

We don't even know what he's referring to, so it's hard to say. Feeling vulnerable, eating out her gonch - who knows.

These are the conversations art is meant to create

Do more male nudity. Posting lady bits is akin to karma farming on this site, but a flaccid dong, just... lying there? Now that's a conversation starter.

Lmao a woman kneeling at a man's crotch with his flaccid penis hanging out... that'll get you banned.

I thought it was meant to create conversations about barely getting by until you die then having rich people use your work to launder money.

esotericenema t1_iug8rho wrote

In very broad terms, I was referring to allowing oneself to be vulnerable to a woman, yes. And I simply said, essentially, that it is within man's nature to want that on occasion, in one form or another. I didn't say every man gets the opportunity to fullfill every such inclination or even that he should take up every such opportunity when presented to him. Only that to literally be devoid of any such inclination whatsoever strikes me as very unhealthy.

_PVRDVE t1_iuii66v wrote

I would rather be vulnerable and cry in front of my guy friends than in front of my woman.

esotericenema t1_iujbbkn wrote

I understand that too, but without going to the extreme of crying, necessarily, you do want your woman to have your back, right? To support you, in some sense, that if that support was sudden removed, it would be like pulling a rug right out from under your feet, especially emotionally. That's a kind of vulnerability, you know. Vulnerability to betrayal and what not. I feel like this piece encompasses ALL of that. Just a man's general desire to want some kind of true intimacy (which is inherently a vulnerability, by definition) with what one might call the "divine feminine." In other words, for some mysterious reason, I don't just not want to be stabbed in the back by my woman; but I want to give her the power to stab me in the back, in the first place (even when I don't necessarily have to do that) and then have her proceed to not stab me in the back, because she actually loves me, you know?
