To address what seems to be becoming a point of confusion, the avatar is entirely non-pornographic, contrary to OP's assertion that it is somehow "sexualised". If you find yourself spending a little too much time thinking about the saddle's proximity to my naked sweaty hind parts, that's on you. (Well, unless you were thinking about that one time I suffered an anatomically implausible cycling accident, but that was fillippone's fault, not mine. 
)
The actual pornography associated with the Merit Cycling Club is typified by the celebratory anniversary threads I post every year, most recently this one (NSFW). Admittedly it's just my fursona posing suggestively, but I think this particular suggestion is sufficient to meet the criteria for pornography (certainly I agree that mere nudity doesn't).

in my long experience, I just think that those who have problems with something tend to take the prohibition to extremes
for example, I'm comfortable joking about sexual misunderstandings with males, since I'm completely comfortable with homosexuals
only those who have a sort of frustration feel, so to speak, offended by light-hearted (not heavy) jokes and pranks
life is shit enough not to take ourselves, our bodies and our sexuality lightly and make fun of it.
in fact I don't get offended if they make fun of me slightly (in a good-natured way) on the contrary I laugh heartily if the jokes are witty and refined
this is my point of view of course
