Interestingly, this image is considered permissible to be shown on Facebook. What are the precise rules that determine when the amount of nudity of a photograph transgresses facebook regulations? And is the policy the same for paintings?

Erotic Victorian Novels, Part II
Venus in Furs
Ritter von Leopold Sacher-Masoch, 1870
This famous erotic and somewhat autobiographical work is
actually the origin of the term masochism (for those who wonder, we can thank
the Marquis de Sade for “sadism”). The protagonist, Severin, is infatuated by a
beautiful woman and offers himself as her slave. Obsessed with his total
submission to her, he urges the woman, Wanda, to humiliate and degrade him more
and more cruelly as the story goes on. The book is focused on fetish and
S&M, and remains very popular.
It’s more of a literary drama than the usual explicit
offering. You can read the book on-line. Roman Polanski adopted Venus in Furs
for the silver screen in 2012.
The Autobiography of a Flea
Anonymous, 1887 or 1888
A work of social satire with a wafer thin plot containing
many erotic scenes as witnessed by a flea (hitching a ride on a young woman)
traveling from home to home and peeping at the sexual activities of the
residents. What does the flea see? Quite a lot, including explicit intimacy,
group encounters, lusty priests, seduction of the innocent, deflowering,
incest, corporal punishment, and bukkake. Many of the characters are caricature
types that would have been recognized by 19th century readers.
The Lustful Turk
Anonymous, 1828
Another slight cheat since this one’s pre-Victorian, but the
popular and notorious novel remained in print even into the 20th century. Given
the 19th century appetite for exotic places and cultures (and more than a touch
of xenophobia), the Lustful Turk satisfied readers on several levels. An
English lady writes letters to her friends back home about her capture by Turks
and forcible ravishment, after which she wholeheartedly embraces a variety of
explicit, erotic encounters with men and women in the Sultan’s harem. The book
is so popular it was even made into a sexploitation film in 1968.

Erotic Victorian Novels - Many Available to Read on the Internet
The Pearl
William Lazenby, 1879-1880
This first entry is a slight cheat: The Pearl was not
actually a book, but a magazine published briefly in 18 volumes and two
Christmas Annuals until the publishers were threatened with prosecution for
distributing obscene literature.
The Pearl contained pornographic stories—many were
serialized and included such classics as Lady Pokingham or They All Do It and
Sub-Umbra or Sport Among the She-Noodles—plus dirty jokes, limericks, and
humorous song and poem parodies. The magazine’s primary focus was humor; the
stories were often satirical in nature, though still very explicit. You can
read The Pearl on-line.
The Romance of Lust
Anonymous, 1873-1876
This verbose, first person narrative follows the fictional
Charlie Roberts from his young sexual awakening all through his maturation and
development. The Romance of Lust chiefly noted not for the perversity of the
acts themselves, which include orgies and incest. All four volumes are
available on-line.
The Sins of the Cities of the Plain
The Lives
Also known as The Recollections of a Maryanne, The Sins of
the Cities of the Plain is a pioneering work of gay erotic fiction chronicling
the experiences of a rent-boy—a “Maryanne” (19th Century slang for a
homosexual). Some of the characters are drawn from actual people, such as the
transvestites Ernest Boulton and Frederick Park. The author’s name is certainly
a pseudonym. Intimate encounters include cross-dressing and orgies.
This book gives a fascinating glimpse into the hidden world
of upper and lower class gay Victorians. Unfortunately, it cannot be found
online.The Nunnery Tales
Anonymous, 1866
This book is also known as Cruising Under False Colors, A
Tale of Love and Lust. It features plenty of sacrilege flavored action with
bawdy nuns and salacious priests among the fictional characters. It also
includes raunchy humor, possibly exaggerated explicit intimacy, and lesbian
encounters (no surprise as the story takes place in a convent), erotic flagellation
and spankings, group encounters, incest, and a little cross-dressing.
Interestingly, it may have been adapted from a much older
17th century French work and has been reprinted often. You can read the book
on-line.

Article from Model Society: Mature Nude Models
Model Society: An essay about mature nude models
Maria: The Advantages of Maturity
By David Bollt on August 20, 2014
Maria started modeling at age 43 with a remarkable passion
and dedication, that helped her transcend expectations of what a model is
supposed to be.
She embraces herself and others as being beautiful, each in
their own unique light. Maria truly sees the things that others may view as
imperfections, as her individual signatures.
What was your inspiration for becoming a model?
I started my career when I became 43 years old. My children
went to the next schools, and I wanted to get to work again and have a passion
in life. Modeling is some sort of dream for lots of girls/women. I just stepped
into the modeling world, signed in at agencies, created a website, signed up on
forums, worked on my portfolio (on TFP base) for a long time. I learned by
failure and success.
My age has been an advantage as there are not much older ,
new-come, models around who are fresh faces in the market and willing enough to
travel, work hard at rates which are not based on five figures. I never
represented myself as young and frustrated, but as a lady who is proud of her
age, her body, her looks and is still willing to learn and to grow (old)
hahahaha….

Oxford Encyclopedia of Photography - History of Erotic Photography and Art
Erotic photography is particularly difficult to define and delimit. Occupying a fluid position between the academic nude and pornography,
definitions of it have varied from period to period, influenced by
shifting sensibilities and moral standards, and by authors' more or less
overt or conscious intentions. Arguably any nude photograph, simply by
virtue of its realism, was capable of appearing erotic to 19th-century
viewers, so that even the most coldly academic studies were banned from
display in photographers' windows. The exhibition in 1857 of Rejlander's rather chaste composition The Two Ways of Life
shocked the public because the right-hand portion of the picture
presented, with the most moral intent, nude women in lascivious poses.
Nudes were officially excluded from photographic exhibitions until the
last years of the 19th century, when soft focus and the artistic ethos
of the pictorialists finally gave them the right to appear in public.

What makes vintage models so appealing?
When viewing vintage photography, it becomes immediately apparent that
many figure models of the 1950's and 60's, and even 70's, were larger.
They were not "out-of-shape", but neither were they misled by the
cultural force-feeding of the glamour of wafer-thin models and the seige
of advertising from the fitness industry. Many of them appeared to be
healthy and vigorous young women, even if they may have been a little
soft or pliant. Sometimes the women may have seemed too large, perhaps having dangerous-looking breasts or ponderous bottoms,
but there is something authentic and uncontrived about them that
enhances the whole experience. What makes vintage figure photography so
alluring is its "realness", whether the women are buxom, or skinny, or
plain, or ugly - it is the relative naiveté of that moment in time
that makes it uniquely appealing. There are certainly many women who
possess a true hourglass figure these days, but they seldom grace the
pages of magazines or the big or small screens of movie watchers.
Perhaps there is an equal percentage of the population today, but they
seem harder to flarge breasts, and many models throughout the years have fascinated viewers with their endowments. Interestingly, some models, like Roberta Pedon
, who had an overwhelmingly pronounced bosom, were actually quite petite in other respects, though still having the soft roundness
at the hips and belly. Despite the popular conception, and the above
definition, buxomness implies more than just large breasts - it is
suggests aspects like bell-shaped hips, a round, "bubble-like" posterior, a broad ribcage and/or a slightly convex belly.

Kenneth Clark on the conception of "The Nude"
The English language, with its elaborate generosity, distinguishes
between the naked and the nude. To be naked is to be deprived of our
clothes, and the word implies some of the embarrassment most of us feel
in
that condition. The word "nude," on the other hand, carries, in educated
usage, no uncomfortable overtone. The vague image it projects into the
mind is not of a huddled and defenseless body, but of a balanced,
prosperous,
and confident body: the body re-formed. In fact, the word was forced
into
our vocabulary by critics of the early eighteenth century to persuade
the
artless islanders [of the UK] that, in countries where painting and
sculpture were practiced and valued as they should be, the naked human
body was the
central subject of art
Nude Photography For Grown-Ups
It's doubtful you'll see lascivious, phony poses displayed by the models. They are simply women from all backgrounds that feel comfortable about nudity.
