I'm sure I'll be opening myself up for a HUGE amount of comments, but

please understand my question before you reply :)

I'm fairly new to photo.net and photography, in general. However,

since joining recently, I've noticed a large amount of nudes posted

in the gallery section. Not being a prude and enjoying a beautiful

photo, this doesn't bother me. What does (now this is where "art"

comes into play) is that they come up randomly and are often of a

less artsy nature (to put it politely).

I was under the impression that nudes could be categorized that way

in the critique forum in order to prevent those who did not want to

participate in nude critique from viewing those photos. As my

computer is in a public room in my home, and I have young children, I

wonder what prevents gallery nude photos from popping up without

warning?? Again, this only refers to those photos that I (and I know

this sounds like censorship, but it's not) find less than art -- the

ones that nearly resembly porn, to a point.

Thank you for your time and please don't respond to blast me on my

opinion -- it is just that, opinion.
