Part of the appeal of SG for me is the notion that these women are flouting conventional standards of beauty. Granted, many of them are drop-dead gorgeous by "normal" standards, but many are "too" heavy, or "too" thin, or have small breasts, or whatever. Regardless of their body size, type, color, etc., they all seem to be comfortable with who they are, and they have taken charge of their bodies in a way that defies convention. They also seem to be "agents" controlling their own sexuality, rather than mere objects of fantasy, although some of that is in the eyes of the beholder. Granted, they're still pretty people to look at, and I'm not sure if this is a progressive step for women, or just a way to co-opt "alternative" lifestyles into a dominant notion of sexuality, but it's undeniably appealing.
