    never for playboy or any sort of pornography

    but tasteful nude photography, yes absolutely

    to me there is a difference.

    one "sells" sex, its purpose is purely sexual arousal. the other is the beauty of the human body without the intent just make money, but to provoke thought, emotions, to use proper composition, lighting, etc. I'm not saying pornography is inherently wrong or anything, to each their own, but I would not want to be depicted this way, personally. I've worked in the sex-working industry (not as a sex-worker though!) and so I've seen the really ugly side of it, and I want no part of it. but im quite comfortable with my body, and I like the play of light and positions and how to makes my body look. True nude photography is so beautiful.

    OP: you were just asking if we would or would not, correct? Whats up with the philisophical debate about where porn and art meet? Whoa!

    Pose for a magazine= no, i'm not that brave!
    Pose for a lover= yes, done that!

    I'm sure Hustler will gain an prominent slot in the 'important art'. segment.

    Wow...look behind you...you see that thing that just whizzed by you...that's what's called "the point"
    But that is just the point. Where does the line get drawn? I am saddened everyday by the debasement of the human condition. When do we focus on higher goals. Sex and all it's trappings consume way too much of our time.

    Funny, the rejection and imposed shame of critical elements of nature, like sexuality and the human body, seems more central to the 'debasement' of humanity.

    I will admit right now that I am prude. But even there, you cannot compare a nude by Rubens to a spread by Playboy?!

    I posed nude before weight loss for a friend working on a photographic nudes series. Art is art.

    Agree, I think the original post was not made to start a moral debate...

    And the above should do pose, lol

    Sexuality is part of the human condition, not a debasement of it. Being human in no way excludes one from higher goals. In the 19th century, for example, many fine art models truly were prostitutes, and many artists consorted with prostitutes, and still made art that was sublime.

    I do not automatically label people who pose nude as sluts. I have done many things in my life I am not proud of. But I believe that forums such as Playboy or Hustler do not promote a healthy depiction of sexuality and I will never accept them as art.

    no ****...

    You can, and it has been done, not literally as far as I know, however the Western pictorial tradition has been demonstrated to be alive and well in advertising and porn.
