What is with photographers and nudes?

I am a photographer (lifeslensphotography.com), through my photography I try to portray an idea, evoke emotion, and communicate a message. However now days it seems a majority of photographers are only interested in doing nudes and often pornographic images. What is with this, do you consider this art? I am not against nude images, i do them myself. Where is the line between pornography and art?

    In my opinion, there are tasteful nudes and erotic nudes. Photos taken with the intent of turning people on are pornographic.

    As an artist who often uses photos for reference, I look for tasteful nude shots. This helps me better learn human anatomy so that my drawings are more accurate. I don't want to see private parts as the main subject of the picture because, honestly, I'm not interested in drawing that. That's my opinion anyway.

    If you wouldn't show it to your grandma it's not art.
