Implications - Though society today is arguably over-sexualized, some parts of the human anatomy are still respected as sensual, but not blatantly sexual or pornographic. Essentially, these parts of the body still show a sultry shape, yet leave all else to the imagination. Legs are a great example of this, and are a point of focus that provides elegant sensuality.
