"I always use the nudity tag on my artwork containing nudity, but brick and mortar museums have no such filters. Children go to the Louvre everyday, and I have never heard of a child being harmed by viewing the breasts of the Venus de Milo." Bijouchat, you have my standing ovation on this point! I personally think that all these exaggerated worries about nudity are exactly THE thing that can make children grow sexuophobic and possibly even become perverted adults. There is a BIG difference between art and pornography and those who ban art (at whatever level it is) for the sake of avoiding pornography are performing exactly the kind of wrong education that will make those children excessively attracted by, and look for, pornography and morbidity when they grow up. On the contrary, teaching children to look at nudity as a NORMAL aspect of life, of which one must not be ashamed of, an aspect that co-exists with the other aspects of life... teaching them that nudity is NOT a dirty thing that one has to HIDE in a closet in order to stay "respectable", but something to live honestly and openly, helps them grow up to become well balanced and mature adult individuals. My two cents of course.
