culturally relevant? Talking about pop culture as well as historical
events,
places, customs, etc. Providing information about
naked people, their
habits, customs, fetishes even: I consider this culturally relevant.

Voyeurism for the sake of itself: no. Just as masturbation for the
sake of itself, sex for the sake of itself, and any other such image
without significance would be judged in the same way. As I said:

mean we should.
Quality over quantity.
