I have a few paintings of nudes at home in my bed room but nothing to sexy, like from the back or lying on their front so you cant see anything.

I wanted another and looked for nudes on ebay and was shocked to see basically porn on there, women fingering themselves etc. they are drawn and not photos.

anyone including children can see this, I thought ebay has policies against this

aibu fir thinking this is totally wrong.

checks eBay

Hmmm. Couldn't see anything quite like you mention, though there are some explicit pictures.

Guess it's nothing that you couldn't find quite easily elsewhere, plus hard to draw the line on what is 'appropriate' art (and so no reason why someone can't sell it on eBay, say) and what is 'inappropriate' (whatever that means)

Ebay is never going to be the first port of call for people with quality, tasteful art to sell. Look somewhere that will be a bit more picky about what it sells.

I don't think even the most inquisitive perv mind would think to look on ebay for hand-drawn undercarriages. I reckon it must be a niche interest area.

Looking for 'nudes' on the internet is never going to end well.

That's nothing. I did my degree in construction and often had to research materials/suppliers on the internet. Imagine what I had to plough through to find a competitive supplier of hardcore. :o

You say porn, obviously others disagree. If your children are searching for nudes on ebay you've got other problems to think about.

This takes me back to the time my dd was about 18 months old, and was obsessed with cats. Lets just say googling "pussy" without the google safe search being on was not my smartest move!

I've got one! I once wanted to find out if a particular tv show was available on demand. Never ever google "peep show virgin on demand" (like anyone else would need telling)! I've never clicked the back button so quickly in my life!

Friend of mine wanted a lolly tree for her wedding reception, her colour scheme was black and white so she googled black lollypops - she didn't see sweets put it that way!

Oh, I just goggled "black lollypops" but was very disappointed. ;)

My mum's friend's husband told her he ran a racing tipster website called 'Knobjockey'. That did not end well. I can't actually believe she was so naive!!

I have wrinkly feet, and wanted to see if this was something lots of people have, and if there's something that can be done. So I googled.

From the results, I would say I could earn quite a lot of cash... Shock
