Yes, I used the word SNEAK!!!
The new section is a WILD success. Many postings quickly get 2000 views and several pages of participation. I'm in two other special sections and you can hear the paint drying on the walls. Not so in the new section.
I would have never guessed that there were so many nude aficionados among the Hogs.
Now back to sneaking in! There are WAY to many views in a very short time to be entirely from subscribed users. I just assume there are a LOT of closet participants. Do you view but have never left a comment. Yes, leaving a comment will invariably blow the door right of the closet!! LoL
I don't expect anybody to identify themselves....., but hey, maybe we can double our closet readership with a little awareness that the nude section exists! And some out of closet participation as well.
This is an invitation to tell others if you like the new section or don't. Could it be better, sure.
I'd like to see it become educational and the go-to place for lighting and posing as well as pretty pictures as the section matures.
What do you think???
So come one, come all and enjoy a little skin...., we do, after-all, all have skin!!! LoL

New nude section??? I would think for this forum that an "old nude" section would be more appropriate. Yuk yuk

LoL...., fantom, with a name like fantom, I don't expect we will EVER see you!!! LoL
I'll be very honest, the oldest Model I've posted was 25 years young! Many here would have to reverse those two numbers to even remember them!!!
But at least if you know, we know you've sneaked in!!!!!
No back pedaling......, be a man!!

As just a student of photography I have never left a comment in the nude section.
I wished I could participate but I'm not willing to pay a model and don't know any girls willing to participate.
No takers on my freelance gynecology exams either!
Oh well.

I never sneak! And I always know where my towel is. Even in the land of the ice bears!

'Nude' or 'voyeur' section?

I go in once in a while and honestly found the quality lacking. This is mostly amateur stuff that is akin to voyeurism.

I did not see much or even anything to learn from and honestly I have other things to do than sort through the abundant mundane captures to find a rare nugget.

Sorry but that is my answer.

Note that I have nothing against nudity or even porn as on that aspect I do not care.

Something else I observed, is there any man stripping for you guys or are those just too... controversial for you (older) guys?

I know I am going to be flamed for this answer and even called 'homosexual' for breaching this last part but nude includes ALL, not just women.

SS, since you run the group, I am kind of 'admirative' that you took the risk to run this section that is 'in your face' for the bigots out there. It takes guts.

By the way "This section contains NSFW material" NSFW = Not Suitable For Women???

Do what many do (at least in Europe)...

Hire a prostitute, they are cheaper than models and usually are more tolerant. Also it gives then a break from their 'usual fare'.

Going to be flamed for that post too...

Flamed? Really? Sounds like you have been to the land of the ice bears!

unfortunately prostitution is illegal where I reside.

Modelling may not be. How do we count the wrinkles?

SharpShooter Loc: NorCal

Me too!
Just taking one into your humble abode for the purposes of shooting her with no clothes on could be easily misconstrued and will very possible get you into hot water.
"no officer, a camera hanging around my neck is NOT my fetish, really, I promise, Boy Scouts honor"!!!
Where I live, the girls on the Pack Pages charge $300 per hour and few are all that good looking!
A world class nude model will cost you $200 for two hours and has graced the pages of Playboy!!
Wrongy is just remembering his youth in France.
Today it's a whole brave new world out there in cyberspace!!!

France? Or Deutschland über alles? Or just the right beach in Marin?

"I did not see much or even anything to learn from"
I was under the assumption that, ultimately, the pictures posted was for the OP to learn something from.
That's the reason for the post.
Or should the section be 'for pros only'?
