The incompetence of people is breathtaking
I happened across this picture today.



The picture is by Pablo Picasso. It is titled The Dream and is a picture of his Mistress, Marie-Therese Walter.

I read a couple of the descriptions on the web about the painting. People are so blind, so foolish, so outright wrong, it is breathtaking. They convince 1000's of people around the world of competely wrong information.

The posture held by the woman in the painting is a masturbation posture. No one is dreaming here. The woman is playing with her vagina.

EDIT:

I was so outraged about the false information people put out that I forgot to be helpful and informative.

The picture shows that Picasso understood some of the nature of the effects on the body of masturbation. If you examine the head of the woman, you will notice that the upper half looks like a penis. This is not an accident. It is not a joke. It is not meant to be shocking.

It is a depiction of reality if you understand what Picasso is trying to convey.
