But you're not turning down the gig when they do, though, are you?

As has already been mentioned, "cliche" sells. It's what people want. Hell, that's how something becomes cliche in the first place. Everyone seems to want it, so it only stands to reason that everyone else is going to find a way to sell it to them. Cliche isn't bad, it's just, well... cliche...

I would, but now I'm off on a tangent focusing on how much I hate 'fine art' nude shots....

Is it because the majority of them are female subjects? Just asking.. not bashing....

Edit: Ok.. so you expressed why later... ignore the above if you want. It is just that the average straight male seldom complains about tit shots, as long as they are halfway well done. Whereas most of us would scream and run if there were fine art male nudes posted. Wondered what your take on that was....

Pregnant women's stomach with "baby" or "boy' or "girl" spelled in alphabet blocks ...
Actually, any nude pregnant stomach.

You know, there's some truth to this. I'm getting pretty sick of my stuff ....

Well.. way to go guys, you just eliminated about 90% of the stuff that gets posted... and the other 10% is OOF or underexposed. We might as well hang it up and start doing Macrame!

"It is just that the average straight male seldom complains about tit shots, as long as they are halfway well done"

But then there are those of us who have even lower standards.

Wedding rings on books where the shadow makes a heart over a word like Love, Joy, Happiness.
The stupid Heart with the hand thing.

Just the same. Although its much much much easier to cross the line of artful to porn with men it seems. I've rarely ever seen a male nude that I thought was artfully inspired. As with 'beauty' shots that scream "here's my tits", male nudes usually scream "here's my cock."

All of this is simply just my opinion of course. I just think that there is a very very high standard, and a very very narrow line that must be walked when it comes to nudes... and sadly both are always lowered and crossed in my opinion.
