Erotic Art Photography vs Pics of Some Dude's Dick

Where to draw the line? This issue seems to come up almost immediately on every single one of my sites that involves erotic content. Thus far I have tried to err on the side of tolerance, removing only the poorest-quality, most uncreative and nauseatingly narcissistic examples. But recently I've started to get some negative feedback from other users that echo my feelings about the issue so I'm putting it out there for the community to discuss.
On the one hand, I recognize (and try to compensate for) my own bias toward images of the female body. I wouldn't want to cheapen the artistic atmosphere of this site by trying to push an oppressively hetero-male agenda. Presumably there are some people browsing this site who are into it and can't get enough of the dick galleries. Why should I hate on their enjoyment, right?
On the other hand, the phenomenon of men posting photos of their weenies on the net is a force that is well-established, well-documented, and should not be underestimated. If left unchecked I think that it could (and already has) have a negative affect on this community. The vast majority of people, even among those who are into men, do not react positively to a bunch of net-creeper webcam dick photos.
Please post your feedback here, or you may email me privately to discuss.

We agree Justin. Closeups can be beautiful if done tastefully. Regardless if male or female. Like you said...the web is full of guys posting only dick pix they shot on a webcam or a phone. That does not make them a photographer.
There should to be a balance of face,body and closeups combined with moody backgrounds and lighting before they can call it a session.
When we shoot models..we include a few closeups for them,but the majority is full body and face. If someone posts only dick shots its a sign that they have no portfolio to offer.
If thier galleries offer nothing else, perhaps they should be surfing porn instead of pretending to be an artist. Nix them!
