I got over the novelty of live nude models in art school. Every week in figure drawing class we had several nude models, both male and female, to sketch for several hours. You eventually become desensitized to the 'naughty bits' and learn to concentrate on the form in light and shadow. I think what we're seeing happen with Poser is that young men (most of whom have never worked with live nude models) are getting a little too excited with the realism of the new Poser models and texture maps. Unlike real models, you don't need to control your inhibitions with Poser. So, young men being young men, they play with the Poser girls the way an 8 year old boy plays with his big sister's Barbie doll when she is away...they undress them and give them a good look over. It's just good old fashioned immature adolescent male behaviour, plain and simple. It's just too bad that they feel the need to post them in the galleries. Or maybe some people are so desperate for gallery hits that they post nudes just so people will look at their work. Either way it's kind of pathetic.
