Are Only Porno-style Nudes "Art Photos?"

Are Only Porno-style Nudes "Art Photos?" - I would not want anyone to think of this dude as a prude, but I was somewhat taken aback by the Internet marketer, eBay, filling the merchandise category, "Art Photography," with one frontal nudity photo after another. It really seemed to me that all of those many photos were just porno pix - the kind of photos that used to be disallowed to be shown on the pages of publications for sale to the general public. Friends and acquaintances had been urging me to start selling some of my own photos - landscapes, flowers, critters, and the like. I went to the eBay website to see if it might be a suitable website from which to market such things. The photography section seemed to be the place for this sort of product, and the art photography stood out as a good place to see if it would work as a venue. Yes. There were lots of different photographic subjects to be seen for sale there, but the preponderance of photos there were nudes, many of which were of various styles of frontal and backside pubic displays. Maybe a seller would have to label his or her photos something like this: "Porno Petunia in the Moonlight," or some other catchy name so as to attract the bulk of photo purchasers who probably crowd that section of eBay? Anyway, I suppose that I will have to keep on looking for a good place to peddle pictures because "Art Photography" does not seem to me to be the place to sell art photos over there on eBay unless my subject photos are of nudes showing everything they own.
