I bet a good night's sleep (and maybe an aspirin) will restore some good humour and perspective to Larry. :-)
I've been forced recently to deal with the puzzle of how to publicly publish image galleries with a degree of nudity in them. My conclusion: put your gallery up on DropBox. Each of the photography and art sites deals with nude and erotic content differently but the most common method is to trap it behind a wall that requires (a) sign-in and (b) individual viewers to opt-in to displaying so-called "restricted" content. That applies to Flickr and Behance. 500px will let a non-subscriber see a restricted image after challenging him to click a disclaimer button. But free 500px accounts cannot create galleries. I'd be curious to hear what photo.net and smugmug do about public display of nude/erotic content. Facebook and similar "solve" the nudity issue by not allowing any, period. So, upshot: put nude content on a server you control, and DropBox is a reasonable alternative atm. Of course, on self-hosted content you may still have to deal with your hosting service itself if somebody complains. You'd have to read your service contract very closely.
