First of all, thank you for all your hard work. I know that modelling takes a long time to do, and many of you offer your models for a mere pittance considering all the hours of work you have put in. I also know quite well that at least half of the poser community likes to indulge in some varied form of pin-up, nude or other type of tittillating artwork. I have no issue with these so long as I can filter them out or they are marked appropriately with a nudity flag.

But I have noticed that some modellers have decided to create women's clothing models, specifically shirts and dresses, that have the nipples sticking out. I find this a rather curious practice and I would like to make a request. Would it be possible to make the clothing without the nipples sticking out, and then simply add a nipple morph so that those of us who have no use for this would be able to use the clothing? This way, we would all be able to do the kind of art we like. I have had to refrain from buying several very nice clothing models because of this, and I believe there are other people in this community who also might be skipping certain models becasue they are inappropriate for the type of artwork they do. The more versatile a clothing model is, with regards to issues like this, the bigger your demographic could be.

And before I sign off and post this, I am not writing this for modellers who sell products like lingerie or fetish outfits, etc. That is completely different. You are making them for a specific set of people who enjoy this type of art, and it would be ridiculous for anyone to ask you to start making those items more appropriate. They are what they are, after all. Although I am not quite comfortable with pointing out anyhting specifically, to clarify things for people who read this, I will offer two examples. Two models I believe would be good candidates for "optional nipples" would be Aery Soul's Fragola outfit or Wusamah's Never Enough shirts. These are both wonderful, well done clothing models by modellers I highly respect but cannot always buy from because I don't have any interest in that type of art. But they are also versatile models which could be used for many types of art, if not for the unremovable nipples. I do not mean to step on anybodys toes by posting this (although without a doubt I probably will) but I canno think this is a rude or offensive request because I am not asking anyone to remove the nipples, just make them optional.
