Since the issue of nudity always being considered pornography is something entirely different from this thread, I will say this one last thing about it before I derail the OP.

Christy Beth, you originally wrote (before you started talking about Playboy and internet porn):
Nudity pictures should be considered pornography, and that has no place in the home. Especially when there are kids in the house.

this is wrong. If nudity in general, and nudes in art/pictures in particular, are to be considered pornography in each and every instance, than I would imagine that anyone with even a sketchy knowledge of Catholic art would cry foul. I’ll mention the fact that the Sistine Chapel has at least one very famous nude and leave it at that.

The OP never mentioned any facts about the pictures of his stepfather other than that they were nude. There was no context, no description, nothing (nor did there need to be). To not only assume that the pictures were pornographic, but to also extend this assumption to the stepfather’s fidelity in his marriage is slander.
 
Thanks again everyone. The videos were labelled in such a manner that the nature of the content was obvious. Eli is 10, and as I stated it is more the modern attitude of my stepfather that is troubling.
 
It could well be that these items are part of another life for your stepfather and that he had forgotten about them. I would give him the benefit of a doubt and simply tell him you ran across these things by accident. After that the ball is in his court.
 
I am a modern old lady who thinks all you have to do is give your step-father the book with his nude photos and say,“Dad…you need to hide your nude photos in a more private place and just smile at him.” I am sure he is pleased with his nude photos and will be happy to move them to another location.
I think his step-father will be able to handle it well since he knows he is handsome and has a nice body.

Years from now when he gets really old he can look back and see what a beautiful body he had. I am sure that is why he has those nude photos.

When I was a little girl my Mom told me that an aunt had a photo taken of her nude but had a towel on her private parts. I found it interesting and not something that I would do in my life. I was 10yrs old at the time and not the type of person to go around exposing my body or having nude photos taken of me. It didn’t affect me at all emotionally and I didn’t see anything wrong with it.

The OP is making a big thing out of nothing. His mother most likely knows about the nude photos anyway. There are no such things as secrets. She most likely closes her eyes to what HER husband is doing in his life.
I have known many family secrets and kept many secrets in my life-time. If I had found those nude photos I would have put the book back where it was located and kept my mouth shut.
I don’t think his little brother would be at the reading level of that book anyway.

So… keep us informed on what you decided to do. This is an interesting situation. Lots of us have given you our opinions. It would be nice to know the ending of this situation.
 
My mind goes back to several years ago and a case I read about. A woman got into trouble when she had some photos developed at one of those one hour places. One of her pictures was of her two little boys, naked. It got reported as Child Porn.

Besides, when it comes to some of the “classic” art mentioned, how much do you see that in the home? Is it an everyday thing? The nude pictures in the home are more likely to cause problems than the statue of David. I can’t remember the artist, I think it was Michaelangelo (or however it’s spelled!!).
 
Thanks everybody. My older stepbrother, Sven, and I decided to just move the photos to a more secluded area. We have also decided that we will address any issues about the welfare of Eli when the circumstances present themselves.
 
I was going to suggest that the photos be moved to a higher level of the bookcase. I don’t think your step-dad even remembers that the photos are there in the book. If he does remember he will look again for them in the book and may think that he moved the book to higher level himself.
You both made the right decision to just move the photos to someplace else. “WHEW” problem solved. Thanks for letting us know your final decision. I found your problem very interesting.
 
Dear Et Cetera,

I haven’t read all of the posts, and just the original post, but your friend Julie sounds like she’s rather promiscuous, and that’s kind of weird.

Anyway, that’s pretty funny. Not that you found it, but that you call that a Freudian slip. I am taking a psychology class right now, and I will have to introduce that context of Freudian slip in class. My professor is a pretty chill guy and will probably get a chuckle.

I guess I haven’t really addressed the topic. That’s for another time, I suppose.
