No, not really. The assumption is toward the uploader

disagreement about whether images that are "controversial content"
should be be held to a higher level of scrutiny. Some people say that
we are be biased if we require a higher level of scrutiny for images
of naked people. I disagree, but think that we really need to have a
higher level of scrutiny for all images with identifiable people. By
requiring model consent, we would solve a large part of the problems
with the images on Commons.
Let us not forget that for many males the decision to post an image of
their nude girl-friend online is a deliberate insult. Precisely, that is
their revenge after they have been dumped by said girl-friend.
In such a context, any domestic nude photo should be deemed suspicious.
Unless there is the explicit consent of the girl, but I assume I am not
very far from truth in assuming all those photos are posted by males.
Less frequently, such a tolerance might also encourage the publication
of incest. More concretely, in this "Korean" case today, a small but not
neglectable probability exists that it is the author's daughter. It can
happen.
