Not at all. The human body is a wonderful thing. And besides, when people take nude pictures of themselves it's usually for their own personal viewing or a significant others/close friends.
But sadly, people can get angry and do things which aren't right and post them, are they really do get on the internet by accident.
Now unless they known to be a tramp, then it's a different story because they are exposing themselves for the wrong reasons to the wrong people.
Would you think less of someone, if you saw a nude photo of them on th web. This is clearly in a NON sexual context.
It depends. Have they repented and received Christ since they made the photo?

Eric, I am a Christian. I also model nude for art classes.
What does 1 John say about somebody who says they're a Christian, but continues on in unrepentent sin?
There is nothing sinful about the unclad human body, nor is there anything sinful about viewing an unclad human body.
So, have you ever read what the Bible says about nudity and modesty?
According to the Bible, we are created in the image and likeness of God.
So, God has a physical body?
Have you ever read the Bible's account of Adam's sin, the Fall, and what happened vis a vis nudity?
So when we censor non-sexual nudity, we are censoring the image of God.
OK. I'll bite: how does censoring nudity censor the image of God?
People in my church know that I model.
And they've never called you to repent? I can't help but wonder how much they must hate you to see you continue on in unrepentant sin and not be concerned for you.
How could they not after they see my "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" appearance from 2001 (where

I think a lot less of people based on what they have posted in this and other threads than I ever would because of any photo where being naked was the issue.
Nudity in art has a long and noble tradition. The nude body often symbolizes what is timeless about the human condition. It also is a great symbol of beauty and harmony in a philosophical sense, and I believe that we need to experience that in order to ennoble ourselves. So, my estimation of someone just might increase at seeing them in a nude photo.
eudaimonia,
