Changed from Casanova to James Bond. The first image was also the same one that's on the page for Casanova.

Doesn't look like a bad change - especially if it fixes a dupe issue.

The pothole should specify which James Bond film specifically the picture is coming from. Otherwise, it's a good one.

It's a nice picture but I don't think the James Bond image makes him look like a sexual predator. They all look good and happy but he is just getting a bath. He might as well have paid them for the service of the bath. I know we don't want a duplicate image but the last one has him lying down in a fancy room with that smirk on his face while the two women touch him suggestively. Him looking so proud of him self really sells it.

I'm good with the Bond pic.

If I'm out numbered oh well, but I'd like to know. Where's the sexual? Where's the predator? A bath isn't necessarily sexual like in Bathe Her and Bring Her to Me.

I agree that the picture isn't a good example, though Bond fits the trope. One of him with a female antagonist would be more demonstrative.

The original picture doesn't look better in that regard (no, the facial expressions of the women don't look like it, either).

Also, The Casanova to me is when someone courts a lot of women. That is what the Bond pic shows.

Prince Naveen is courting multiple women, and he's smiling at them flirtatiously, not just because he's pleased that they're bathing him.

I think the new Bond picture is better on his part since he's being more active (kissing her foot) but she doesn't look like she cares. The laconic says that he's a "Renowned and successful sexual predator." If the woman doesn't look happy he doesn't look successful.

See, I never would have equated a Casanova with "predator"...that has a connotation that I don't associate at all with a serial womanizer.

When I hear "predator", I think of rapists and paedophiles. Not casanovas. I don't think of "predators" when I am talking about casanovas either.

[up] and [up][up] definitely agree there. "Casanova" doesn't sound like a predator to me, "predator" makes me think "rapist".

Should the description be changed, then? It starts with "The sexual predator...".

The description or the name.

The description, I think. The casanova is a predator in the sense of treating women like conquests rather than people, but the term "sexual predator" has stronger connotations than that.

What nitrokitty says sounds like philanderer and therefore Casanova. I'd rather justanid's Bond suggestion then the current. Does anyone like my Prince Naveen image?
