Photograph titled "Mike Welder" by Jack Fritscher banned by British law from Edward Lucie-Smith's photo book for the "general public," Ars Erotica. Full-page reproduction of censored photograph, page 161. Earlier, "Mike Welder" was published, without objection because of its "non-general public" target audience, in the "gay" photobook, Jack Fritscher's American Men. Gay art is judged differently—if judged at all. The photograph is from the video "Uncut Muscle Mechanic: Mike Welder" at Palm Drive Video.
