What dolphins?
Browsing through a book of optical illusions on from a friend’s coffee table I instantly recognised what is probably one of the most famous illusions not drawn by Escher – that of Freud’s bushy muff …
… an image in which I never fail to see the naked body long before the diagnosing shrink.
On the page opposite was a picture titled Lovers Or Dolphins which I hadn’t seen before.
Inevitably the first thing I saw was a pubic triangle … followed by a pair if tits.
It was only after I had read the title, and spent a surprising amount of time, that I noticed even the first dolphin … and that was the one whose tail described the aforementioned pubic triangle.
Knowing there were more such indicators of how obsessed one is by sex, I later hit the internet. Here are some of my favorites.
(In most cases I don’t think these are truly optical illusions, but rather optical puns, not that it matters.)

I LOVE this!! I couldn’t find the dolphins either. Thanks for sharing!

I had a lot of trouble seeing the dolphins.
I had trouble seeing the non naughty things in most pictures.
Then came the last one. I don’t see it. 😕
Got a little hint?

The last one is the hardest for me. Try turning it upside down.

I thought of it. I’ll try again…

Usually good at this. But that last one…. 🤔

It hard to see, but spending a little time getting to grips with it will make you smile.
Try turning upside down and then you should be able to put your finger on it more easily.
