It could be argued that Flickr is actually more 'porn' than this thread!
However do a Google search and you wind up here, c'est la vie. Yes well the other parts of this site is porn and do I browse those sections of hard core porn, no, I'm here, like very many others (including riders, yes it can easily be worked out who) for the WNBR and the occasional public nudity stuff, Bay to Breakers, Spencer Tunick etc.

True!
I expect it is the same with How you take the photos
eg nude participant, pleasant, ask nicely
vs
clothed ("dirty mac pervert") bystander, "leering", blocking the way
both can take exactly the same image ... who is more likely to get the voluntary pose or the aggro?
Being naked makes you vulnerable (how many here would do WNBR nude?) - women feel this more because of the risk of sexual assault (generally - not at WNBR). Hence some women feel "used and abused" or taken advantage of as wank material on a porn site - yet the same photo on Flickr is OK. Yes it's naive and irrational not to expect this - but it's about women's perceptions and feelings not "facts" and "reason" as most husbands boyfriends will testify.
So tread very gently - and don't assert all your "rights" otherwise the birds will simply fly away.
