Just to jump in here: First, there is a place for adult & erotic graphic art- see the attached link. I don't know the history of the site, but I have the feeling that it may have been the adult "spin-off" of this site. Go there for your erotic and adult artwork- when you enter the site, you know that's what you're going to see, so there are no self-appointed "censors". To get into this debate, though: As some of the comments on some so-called "nude" images show, nudity "sells"- it gets more views and more comments... even if the so-called "nude" picture is nothing more than a "Ha, made ya look" image. And, yes, some "artists" (and I use the term very loosely) are actually doing this- they post a "nude" thumbnail and when you click it, the real picture has nothing to do with the thumbnail... but they got another viewing (and further rise in the "Most Viewed" listing). And, as you read the comments about the picture, you'll see the debate about this very issue. As for the argument over "nude" pictures, it's a debate that will probably go on forever. Just look in the news for the American people's warped ideas: ABC-TV has come under attack for showing "too much" when it aired its "Victoria's Secret Lingerie Special". Well, duh, it's *lingerie*, it's probably going to show "too much" (even though ABC did use "creative camera angles"). If you don't want to see stuff like this, don't view it. As less people view it, the less popular it is and the less likely it will be shown again. And, of course, no-one gets upset that the previous night's "NYPD Blue" had a gunfight or shooting or that an episode of "ER" showed too much blood. But, if someone's naked backside is shown, then there needs to be adult warnings and parental discretion and kids should leave the room and ... --John
