Wouldn't this tend to be drastically inferior to actual pornography? A
nudist colony is not a strip club.
There are three killer apps in the mating game. One is for stereotypical
males, and it automatically dresses all women in bikinis or leather
catsuits, depending on taste. The second is for stereotypical females,
and it broadcasts a body image that's thirty pounds lighter than reality.
(Needless to say, there's a large synergy between these two applications,
so they'd better be able to interoperate.) The third is for people who
don't use either app, and it automatically tags other people who don't use
either app.
