   Ok, maybe it's just me, but how articulate do you have to be to post pictures of half naked woman into a Hub, and call it creative writing?

      girl....I have been saying that forever. There are way too many people posting lame photos just to get the views. They aren't too concerned about the content. Its stupid, I know.

         Yes, I agree it is a really stupid thing to just upload pics of half naked girls without any content, as it is bringing down the quality of not only people who did it but other people also suffer who write quality content due to that.
         
         These pics are also interfering with the online image of this really useful site, HUBPAGES, as a whole.

      HubPages is not about "creative writing", although there's a section of the community that uses Hubpages for that. 
      
      HubPages is about creating magazine-style articles to earn money.  And of course, some magazines DO feature half-naked women! 
      
      Apparently they do generate traffic (which is why they end up on Hot Hubs) but it's not paying traffic - they don't earn much.  Some people seem to think that creating traffic for the sake of traffic achieves something - can't see it myself.

   well it depends upon the definition of "sexy"... Are photos of naked woman always the sexy... I do not think so.
   
   a nice looking girl with all clothes on can also look sexy. I think showing girl's naked body is more offensive than creative. especially in hubs where writer's view may justify it but readers's view may not.

   This issue comes up fairly often, but the truth is that HubPages isn't necessarily a creative writing site, some people use it to air their creative writing skills, some people use it with the sole purpose of making money, others use it to direct traffic towards their own sites, HubPages is many things to many people.

         I guess you could say I'm neutral yes, although that has nothing to do with my sexy robot hub which was not designed to titillate anybody.  (and if YOU found it in any way arousing then I apologize, that was not my intention.)
         
         But the same advice is given on HubPages often, and in fairness it is good advice, I certainly do my best to take note of it, 'if you don't like it, ignore it, move on, and do something else instead.'
         
         If HubPages had a problem with them, they would close them down.

    For the ones who are against hubs with women photos - Let me ask you something - Why are you posting at the hubpages? For fun or for money?
    
    If you´re posting for the fun of writing I must say I understand and agree with your point.
    
    On the other hand, if you´re posting for money you need traffic - visitors - and girl´s photos generate good traffic.
    
    My photo hubs generate 10 or 20 times more traffic than my text hubs and that´s my point.
    
    And for the Hubpage´s site - as a whole - is also good because they get more visitors too.

    There's a certain degree of art in photography, but I do not agree when photos begin to market the human body strictly for visits, scores, or money.  The image that has been portrayed to young girls in magazines, as well as to young boys, has been proven to be demoralizing and one of many causes for physical and mental disorders.  To have this type of marketing and stereotyping on hubpages is, in my opinion, beneath this site.

          I have been wondering about that kind of thing myself.  Being a guy I often use pics of women but it has to somehow relate to what I have written. 
          I just love the people with scores of 90 plus who post pics of scantily clad women and insert one whole paragraph of fashion observations that even I--a basically straight guy-- could make and yet there they are.  it's a hub and they have a high score. 
          That's why I just write what only what I like, what inspires me and/or what my regulars would like.  i have no time to point out the inequities.  (I read a hub about hub scores and it said nothing that led me to believe people who take short cuts should have these high scores.  ANyway , back to writing!
