i pretty much agree with you Fletch - i've never liked Met-Art - i guarantee you that the owners of that site are not primarily art photography lovers - they are primarily lovers of pictures of nude young girls, making a big living off other middle aged men who like to see pictures of nude young girls. Advertising for traffic on GFY the Net's busiest chatboard for hardcore smut peddlers is more proof of what Met-Art is really about. I was very surprised to see that banner here. An art site centered around nude young females has no place here. I have to think the owners have ditched any under 18 content they had or they are insane for advertising here because it could ruin them and whoever processes for them if they haven't.
I'm just saying by the LEGAL definition of child porn the content at Met-Art would probably be accepted as art.
I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!
That just means that the meaning of lolita is a little bit different in Europe as in the States.
Just ask some french people what they use Lolita for. It's not a banned word in Europe.
Originally posted by Mutt I believe the content is art - I also believe at least half, probably more, of MET's members are pedophiles.
People who are attracted to pre-pubescent children (about 13-) are pedophiles. Men who are attracted to 16 year old girls are pretty much normal, however much society may dislike it.

it's instinctive for grown males to be attracted to any woman after she's completed puberty. a lot of cultures encourage marriage at ages 15-18....including the ancestors of most of people who read this board.
not sure where the arbitrary age of 18 came from but it IS the law and so we all abide by it. but some of you are such fucking hypocrites. if the United States government suddenly said anything 16+ over was legal for porn, 90% of you would start pushing it immediately.
SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR.
Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

If you use the search term Lolita from anywhere in the UK you can expect a visit pretty damn quick. And rightly so.
hmmmm. In my time in school, and through all my Art History classes, nowhere did I ever study photos like this, nor have I ever been told by an art teacher that this is classified as art.
How come there are no museums full of this art?
Artistic photography?
try Dietter Appelt, but pics of nude children is not art man.
I have helped organize Dieter exhibits, THAT is art, not naked kids.
If you took college art classes I would be surprised if you weren't exposed to some of the photographers who do work with underage models. Many major museums around the world own and show the work of photographers like Sally Mann and Jock Sturges. Their work regullary sells for high prices at art auction houses like Christie's and Sotheby's.
Also, when you saw all those old nude paintings in art history, how old do you think the models for the paintings were?
The issue here is not whether it can be considered art, but whether this type of art should be promoted as porn.
