Thanks. It truly is my opinion and I admit that. I know that others will not have the same opinion but I won't have any hard feelings if they don't. Thanks for reading what I had to say about this.....

As I have read many if not all of the responses to my Observation/question. I can see and concur with many of you perhaps about the openness of the younger generation, And the perceived beauty of the younger smoother body to that of an older less so. Whether I agree or not is irrelevant. But to further my observation and question. In the past there have been numerous sculptures of nude men and women. and although I don't know necessarily who was the artist of all of , if not most for that matter. I wonder why in this forum and at this time, why there were no nudes of men, And a seemingly lack of women photographers. And a seemingly lack of women respondents within this thread. As one mentioned in this thread about different cultures where women need to be covered up-and-or were possessions I know that was far more prevalent and extensive in the past. yet the expression a both men and women was accomplished in those times and I don't see it here on this forum just a curiosity on my part.

I am clearly biased and conditioned, but I prefer younger women with good looks, smooth skin, no or very few discrete tattoos, no body piercings, and a lean/shapely/toned body with natural breasts. Now that I have described the perfect subject we can get on to the photography. I like creative poses and settings that highlight the beauty of the woman; I don’t want vaginal or anal anatomy lessons. I appreciate seeing everything from simple beauty to eroticism, but I don’t like to see kink or porn on this site; there are other places to display that kind of “art.”

UHH has had some really great contributions... as well as trash that neither honours the model nor displays talent of the shooter (I hesitate to say photographer in these instances... unless it just means person with camera). I would hope that the comments to posted photos help self-regulate the content.

That’s my 10 cents’ worth, because I have expressed these thoughts at least five times so far.

In a nut shell, most nudes are unquestionably of females and most photographers in that genre are male. A matter of statistics; no real mystery.

I guess my real question why women nudes only, And I understand enough about probability and statistics to say that very few if any genres, lifestyle whatever are 100% all 1 gender 1 color 1 anything. But that being said I guess I should let it go, because I find that the Hog to be primarily men. Thank all of you for your responses opinions points of view and ideas.

First off, it's not 100% women nudes. I've seen some men nudes here. But the answer as to why it's mostly women nudes is like why are there more pictures of Male birds than female birds. They are more colorful and more beautiful than their counterparts. Simple as that. Since the beginning of time women have been thought of as beautiful where men are masculine. Masculine and beauty are almost opposites.

I can see I have to be more explicit on here your right t's not completely 100% women but of what I saw it was. But my point /question was simply why is there so much skewed Towards women I realize there's never with fewyexceptions a 100% anything. Just like I need to remember there's not a 100% litersl snarky nerds here who can't read between the lines. but there sure are a lot more of them than there are open minded independent thinking individuals Who understand With out at me stated there are no absolute Hard-and-fast rules for anything and everything. Not sure if that's been since the beginning of time but maybe since the beginning of the hog. But it was just a simple observation on my part, and yet I've heard no responses thus far that I'm aware of from women. Which according to Wikipedia is only about 0.03 to 0.04% less than A5050 ratio in the world today. Just their opinion, (fact)? .

I totally agree. I have many pics that I have thought about posting, as interesting images to be enjoyed, but I don't like the arm chair quarterbacks who are overly critical. Not worth the effort, so I only post here and there. There are some very good images posted here and a lot of forgettable ones but I don't criticize those that I do not like as to each their own.

I find I come here for technical advice only and And my skin is getting thicker. As I find many here are very technical to the point of OCD almost, Yet lack what I would consider a certain artistic ability . That being said it's an opinion that many on here would not understand because it could not be quantified.

I would strongly recommend you not limit your browsing to the last 3 pages. There are some who have posted excellent images here, but don't post often.
