There should be no age limit for models appearing in magazines
Johana C03-Oct-20
In July 2020, a 56-year-old woman posed for Sports Illustrated and I think that is an amazing step forward. Beauty in men and women doesn't expire at a certain age. Sexy doesn't discriminate. Do you agree?

      Older models? couldn't care less. Younger models tho', that's a slippery slope looking for an accident. You'll get all sort of slithery creatures coming out of the woodwork, touting equality for age limits: they'll cry, If there's no ceiling level for older models, how can there be - for the sake of equity in this morally "enlightened age" - an age limit for younger ones? You can't stop pornography, even the vilely twisted child-porn, but you don't have to make it easier - read: legal, or legitimate - for the sods to do it.

        Definitely. There are a range of people out their so this should be reflected everywhere and it makes it more normal too.

                  True any age any size. let's face it she does look nice but she's no spring chicken. So what, she still looks gd & let's be honest in real life most men don't want a bag of bones to hang on to. To show off to their mates yes but at home NO.

                            I would not like to see sexualised or sensualised pictures of children, but otherwise there should be no age limit.

                                      depends if you want to see someone wearing cool sunglasses, rather than a knitted cardigan. There are age appropriate products though

                                                              It depends on what they are modelling. If it’s decent then no problem but it could be something not quite kosher. If they’re modelling ugly then anything goes I guess...lol

Just look at that photo above Johana C's comment it may look sexy in a silicone-enhanced plastic breast way and lipo-ed stomach but it is all so phony.

                                                                                        ·

                                                                                      ·

One has to age with dignity and if you can keep in shape that is fine but the majority of us gain weight, everything goes south, falls out or changes colour. Just a fact of life. No age limit but age relevant should be more to the point.
