For a certain subset of the Reddit population, Tuesday is better known as Topless Tuesday, which is exactly as NSFW as it sounds.

But the parody Reddit thread [Avocados Gone Wild](http://www.reddit.com/r/avocadosgonewild/) epitomizes the phrase “food porn” and gives Topless Tuesday a new, much more innocent meaning. While browsing photos of these delicious-looking meals that have raunchy titles like “[lubricant](http://imgur.com/EyGndXI)” and [“messy”](http://i.imgur.com/VuVb49O.jpg) and “[jailbait”](http://imgur.com/a/GSXcu), your imagination is your own worst enemy. A plate with a whole avocado next to a chicken illustrates [“spreading with a hot chick”](http://i.imgur.com/WchHkpR.jpg), while an open-faced sandwich topped with avocado slices illustrates [“being on top.”](http://i.imgur.com/oWWZRWu.jpg)

Below are a few recent examples:

“I know the guys in this band, so I modeled for their (a)lbumcover. I like showing off my body ;)”:

“I know you want me.. ;)”

[“Open and ready to be take in the kitchen”](http://imgur.com/SQfKPmU)
