    Okay. So, I've already read that this site does not allow pornography, but I also know that not all images or works involving nudity are pornographic, even though a lot of them are still created for titillation.

    Like, I've got this story that I started years ago, which involves the expansions of three characters' certain body parts and bouts of forced nudity every now and then. Would something like that require some kind of warning, or just not belong on this site?
     
    This is from the rules of Fan Fiction & Writing and Art & Design:

    FF&W rules said:
    The Use of Language and Sexual Content:
    Since this is literature, the use of minor language can be used. However, try to use it sparingly. Remember that a younger audience can access your fic, so keep that in mind. As far as sexual content goes, that is a very touchy subject. You may hint in your story that something happens, but for all of our sakes, please don't go into detail. If you're on the fence about putting something in, don't. If you're really not sure, PM a moderator and they'll tell you whether or not it's allowed. Excessive amounts of these will result in the thread being locked with possible infraction(s) depending on the severity.

    A&D rules said:
    Artistic Nudity or Mature Content is allowed

    • Mild nudity is allowed. Artistic nudity, such as anatomical studies and general sketches, is fine so long as it remains tasteful. Though you're advised to enclose it in a spoiler and post a warning along with it. This applies for mild violence and generally graphic themes. Just don't go overboard. The bottom line is, we can't always define it but we know it when we see it. We reserve the right to delete any or all drawings/pictures that defy this rule.

    • Always warn your audience if there's questionable content. Give a verbal disclaimer and enclose the image in a spoiler. A&D should be a safe place for everyone.

    So it's allowable to some degree, but some sort of warning is usually required. I'm not sure if your works will cross the line or not, so it'll be best to speak to the moderators of those sections first before you post, which are Bay Alexison (FF&W), Fairy (A&D), and Nina (A&D).
