Nekkid art poll

Christina of ataraxy and I have been discussing our respective plans to put art in our bathrooms and the subject of nekkid women came up. We agreed that we hate Patrick Nagel. But what I want to know is, do women find erotic art in men's homes (and nekkid women in particular) to be creepy or nice? Hence a little poll for my women readers. (Links are NSFW!)

The question: How do you feel about erotic art on a guy's walls?

Uck. Creepy.
A little Matisse or Picasso is okay, but it's gotta be tasteful.
T&A is fine as long as you maintain the pretense that it's "art". Anything in black and white or with romantic lighting will pass.
Crank it up but keep it highbrow. Modigliani, Klimt and Schiele put me in the mood.
Go for the Nagel, the Vargas, the Helmut Newton, even the supermodel swimsuit posters. Let your het flag fly!
Irony can make anything safe. Put up Bettie Page and Coop and we'll think you're just being hip.
Nekkid women are acceptable only if you give us nekkid men, too. We demand Mapplethorpe.
