Making good photographs of nude models is very hard.
It's easy to make picutres that flaunt sexuality, but they are not necessarily
good art.
And as to male versus female models - I don't find
photographing males all that more difficult than photographing females.
Actually, male subjects can be the basis for an entirely different genre of
photograph - female subjects tend to be ideal for images that emphasize softness
(through lighting or choice of setting/background), while male subjects are
especially good in settings where the subliminal subject is either strength or
textures. Example - it seems natural to pose female models against soft
window light, perhaps in a very high-key style, while male subjects might work
better with machinery, or in juxtaposition with tree bark.
