Was wondering why there isn't any showcase of nude photography. Don't get me wrong, not referring to pornography. Nude photography can be very well capture from the art point of view.

The reason for me to say this is because in order to get artistic shots, we need to have the knowlege to know the type of shots that are considered to be artistic. In the end, most of the shots will turn out to be of the rather obscene nature even if guidelines are set in place.
From the official viewpoint, OzOn3 got it right. There are under-aged members present in the forum, and administratively there's no practical way for the admins/mods to screen members for age and gender (this being the age of the Internet, it's easy to fake age and other details).OzOn3 said:I guess because CS do have some under-aged members.. so it wouldn't really be appropriate to expose them to nudity..
Dude, young members are kids below 18, or whatever you deem fit. They are in no way young adults. They probably do not have the ample experience and maturity to think for themselves, and to concretely seperate right from wrong. Though this does not apply to all, i believe it is correct for majority.Godzilla Invades said:Only CS is RESTRICTED to nude photos. That is also because we are Singapore.
The only thing u see is bikinis and cover up of private areas. So bored......YAWNS.......which is obviously getting a little boring.
Unless the ADMINs are ready to accept it? (Which is highly unlikely)
I do not think CS is the only website which has underage members. There is no way to restricted young adults to viewing the content (Unless parents put a stop). If not in CS, it's available on other websites.
It's also up to the Singapore Goverment to bend some rules and regulations and be more flexible. Anyway I know the Admin people will have some comments on this as this is a very very touchy and sensitive subject.
No flaming. Just my humble comments....Thanks!

Well it's YOUR country and YOUR forum. Hey, I might think 95% of you are excessively prudish and sometimes intolerably conservative, but I suppose it's my choice to want to come and visit this forum. Your attitudes towards nudity are your own to fix.
To agape01, SO WHAT if the photos are "obscene"? You can criticize them like you would a normal photo! An "artistic" shot of a nude model with a cabbage on her head and carrots coming out her ears might appeal to me less than an "obscene" shot of another model showing full frontal nudity.
Since when has exposing a little bit of breast harmed anybody? In fact, I think that this culture of secrecy with the guise of "protecting" our children is misguided. Children should be taught that our bodies are beautiful, and that we come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. In fact, if I have one criticism of most nude photographers is that they only want to shoot pictures of slim women or muscly men (well, mostly slim women). Nude images of fat women are usually joke images. Hardly anybody shoots normal men and women in the nude. Even fewer people want to photograph elderly men and women in the nude.
Nude photography is the same as any other type of photography. There are cliche shots and there are excellent shots, just like 3/4 of the pictures posted here are cliched. I am not here to pass judgement about whether pictures are "obscene" or not, nor do I have time for the monkeys who do. The picture is either well-taken or poorly taken, it either fulfils its objective or it does not.
In any case, it's your board. My comments won't change the way you think, but hopefully some of you will open your minds a little.
