Perhaps people don't discuss erotic uses of Poser because that's not really the thrust* of this forum. Renderotica is a more naturally appropriate place for such discussions, although I imagine they'd be permitted here within TOS, so to that end*, you can always start the discussion if you like.  :-)

Although I've tried doing some mild erotica in Poser, I can't say that it "turns me on," because ... it just seems so silly to me. I like real people, ya know? However, the popularity of Renderotica shows that many people feel as you do. When I do Poser "erotica," it doesn't always involve nudity, and never involves graphic sexuality. I find cute "tease" sort of images to be more appealing than all-out porn, which to my eye is just plain gross, or boring, or stupid looking more often than not. My ideal is more like the pinups of Vargas ... leave something to the imagination, play, keep it upbeat. Erotica involves all the senses, not just the most base impulses. Too many people think that "erotica" means "pornography."  My two cents anyway.

Although obviously  there is no literal MPAA rating for Renderosity. I think Miz' metaphor is appropriate. It seems the staff* would prefer this to be more of a PG to "soft R" sort of site. Most of us comply accordingly. The fact that there are so many nudes in the galleries is because members* post them there, not because the staff* encourages it. Although I'm no prude and find truly artistic or incidental nudity to be beautiful, most of the images with nudity that I see in the galleries here are quite crass and unappealing. Oh well, to each their own, live and let live and all that.
