Yup, I have been doing pin up erotica for years, one of my favorites, but low on that list. Now I have the opportunity to render out some quality pinup art and erotica, but am too self conscious to do it 
Is that wierd or what? lol
I have always been an advocate of erotic art, I have no issues with nudity; nausia not withstanding lol So I don't know why I am getting too embarrassed to post my pin ups; and maybe some of that fringe poser porn stuff lol.
Private invite to a private gallery at that.

what? blame the catholic church for that.
Here in my local area some of the priests don't go for pinup girls
they save their sins for younger people of the opposite sex
then protect their own....
Of course if you post sexy images, we will think you are a sex crazed fiend :)
who cares what we think?
Even I don't care what I think......

God made beautiful bodies (and sex) first, smut was a distortion of both created later by others. Focus on classy displays of God's beauty instead of porn, then post away with your head held high.

My opinion, if you know the site and respect the work they show/do, then take the invite and don't look back.
I lean more toward the pinup style of the '40s and '50s. Less erotic and more humor and curves. I learned long ago that certain of my relatives (not my wife and kids) and friends frowned on even that. It bothered me for a while until I realized that my family and friends werent' my audience. Once I stopped seeking approval from people I knew disapproved, the problems I had with my own art disappeared.
Funny how that works.
I second NetWorhy's comment. God made beautiful bodies (well, maybe not mine. I try not to look in the mirror too often). Celebrate those beautiful bodies and do work that YOU can be proud of.
In short, go for it, dude!

Posting any art reveals what really moves you, and that can put you in a very vulnerable space. And people DO make judgements.
An age old answer is a publishing alias. I use that :)
