I teach a beginning class and certainly don't require my students to do nudes. In most cases, I'm dealing with students who are under 21. If they are interested in doing nudes, I show them work by Edward Weston, Imogen Cunningham, etc. and let them experiment.
As far as what constitutes pornography, that would depend on the viewer's background. The community that I live in is very conservative and I'm certain that most nudes would make many here uncomfortable. For me, when a photograph has less to do with design elements and composition and more to do with sex...that's pornography.
