Can't agree on this one. I'm an adult and I am not a nun, but I find plastic nudity as giant a bore as I do the predictable and endless attention-getters of S&M and violence. I don't like it on my television, in my movies, in my books, and I certainly could live forever without seeing another unlikely plasticized female or steroid guy clone flashing their short comings at me. It's not that I find T&A offensive. except in the predictability and lack of imagination much of it displays...I just want the nudity tag so I can skip past what will inevitably be just another cloned copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of someone's original idea. I can't say I've seen many nudes on the Poser gallery yet that held my interest...so I skip them all now. And I think I should have the right to skip what wastes my time. So what's the big deal about a nudity tag? It lets those who want to stare at naked representations do so without having to bother with those of us who prefer the wide range of other topics possible in pictures, and it lets me skip past the T&A as well as the violent pictures that hold no interest for me either. It's a matter of personal taste. Why inflict your taste on me? I don't care what you look at...I just want the opportunity not to have to look at what doesn't interest me. And I haven't done one naked Vicky in the Temple picture, so you owe me an apology...we don't ALL do them. The only nude I've done was a woman discreetly standing behind a screen and the nudity was in the mind of the beholder (and the only reason she was nude was because I wanted to play with draping material over the edge of the screen; so it seemed, at the time, to suit the picture though I'd probably not bother with it now). Imagination is richer than anything we will find thrust into our faces on the galleries. And I'm glad that's so.
