Is there really such a thing as "safe for work" porn?

Apparantly this is safe for work porn.

Everyone is clothed. It's just kind of... people in compromising positions.

THERE IS NO NUDITY.

However, I still feel quite uncomfortable looking at it in work. It's not even porn, but somehow my mind thinks it is (because of the positions)

What do you think? Is this porn?

Call your boss over and ask him.

LMAO

I guess if it makes you uncomfortable in work, then it ain't work safe. I guess it depends entirely on the nature of the workplace. I mean, I would be opening any scantily clad/ suggestively posing women in the office here. But might if I worked in a place with lockers, or something.

that'll teach me to post pre-coffee! I did, of course, mean pictures/ website of.... I work in the Civil Service. 'nuff said. Though I *am* in Brussels at the moment....lots of variety.

I dunno, I always associated those pics at work with the inside of lokcers.. maybe too many cop films.

The normal metric for this is "Would you have it visible on your PC if your boss/manager was at your desk?".

Prob not. It's not really porn though.

Do you think the pictures are offensive?

Didn't open the link - I'm at work ;-)

hedgetrimmer · 04-03-2004 10:48AM

I'd imagine the link is blocked by most filters.

<checks>

Yup, it's blocked by ours

I would rate this as less safe for work than women in swimsuits or even mild softcore...
it's actualy disturbing me that they have clothes on .

Edit number 14 is def not safe for work.

it's not even porn, though it is pointless.

it would be hard to take offense at it and difficult to argue that it is offensive to anyone.

leeroybrown · 04-03-2004 11:14AM

Anything that could be construed as unsuitable for work or seen as offensive by co-workers should probably be avoided when others are present. If you're the only one looking at it then obviously you have a lot more leeway.

My web content isn't filtered/blocked and it's left up to me to decide what constitutes suitable material.
