I'm the only Mod who posted in the "Poser vs. Photography Nudes" thread and here's what I said:

*Poser vs. Photography - It's probably the difference between seeing a fight in a movie and seeing one in real life. I can watch car wrecks all day in movies, but the few I've seen in real life bothered me for days, even if I only saw the aftermath of the wreck.

If there's a picture that seems over the line, though, please let us know. MichelleA and starshuffler are really good about patrolling the galleries but even they're not perfect. As well, we do allow a certain amount of sensuality in photographs as long as they don't break TOS.

Cheers!*

That's hardly a condemnation of nude photos in general. IIRC, the picture in question was of a woman lying on the couch caressing her breast and playing with her nipple with a very ... suggestive ... look. It was very much in the style of pornography advertisements I've seen across the web. We have left in the galleries most of the photos that contain nudity, but we have removed a few that we felt were on the wrong side of the erotic/sensual vs. porn debate.

This is NOT to condemn pictures like that, to say they're evil, etc., but to say that they're not appropriate for this site. There are other sites where pictures like that will get a warm welcome, such as Renderotica.

Thanks,
