The fact that the body parts that identified the statues as females were emphasized is likely to have been much less erotic at a time when nudity was frequent and unlikely to be hidden from the others. Emphasizing the fertility in the statues is a reason to believe that they could have been intended for use in some rituals or as good-luck charms, but it certainly would not have been a reason to censor their use by children who would have been habitually exposed to nudity, unlike today.
