Damn OP, that is way too lewd for me to put on any of my devices. I usually have pictures of my pets back home or artistic landscapes.

The bottom line is: you can use the background you want, but people can (and will) judge you if given the chance to see it.

No matter how much you think it's right or wrong, is simply how things are. So if you prefer to avoid problems with your parents, acquaintances, coworkers and anyone else who happens to have access to the device, ideally, you should use a neutral image. If you don't care about the opinion of others, then by all means, use whatever you want. After all, is your cell phone/desktop/notebook. But you will have to live with the (usually negative) reaction from other people.

And no matter how much effort you make to justify or argue that they should not judge you for it, they will do it anyway.

I usually change mine every two or three months (because I find new cool stuff, not for any "real" reason) and I don't really have any kind of limit on what I choose to set, because I know I have some weird tastes and some other people might not get them.

That being said, I never post anything that a person my age (16) would not be able to look at. While my waifus sometimes have the spotlight in some fanservice-y background image, it's never anything pornographic or hentai-ish, it's--at the most--just a really stupidly-revealing outfit (And that's at the worst, most anime backgrounds are GitS posters and cool junk like that).

I hand my phone off to people all the time and I use it a lot so it's not hard to see my background. As such, I'd never use porn as my background given that my grandma or boss could see. Not that I've ever been tempted to do that for my background. I like patterns or live wallpapers or photos of objects with a lot of visible texture. I get doing something like that for a pc, but do you honestly have no chance of anyone seeing your phone?

.....sure, put that has your phone background. Just... be aware that if people see it in public, they are going to judge you. Probably harshly. Not always, but probably. They'll think you're obsessed with sex or are perverted or something like that. Sure, you can say that you don't care about what strangers think, and that's fine. But what if your friends and family see it? They'll probably come to some opinions of you that you wouldn't like. And for god's sake don't let your co-workers or your boss see that as your phone background, if you want them to respect you even a little bit.

There is only one proper background for electronic devices.

I really need to find an appropriate image for my lock screen tough.

Rule 1: Do not pick animu pictures of girls with boobs bigger than their head.

Rule 2: Cup size B-D prefferable.

Rule 2: Setting sexy stuff is ok; setting sexy stuff that'd make any pervert stop and stare in confusion for a while is probably not ok.

I'm still not sure how the original picture would've drawn any problems that something from the SI Swimsuit Issue or anything Maxim puts out wouldn't have.
