Showing too much 'skin' detection in software

Question

I am building an ASP.NET web site where the users may upload photos of themselves. There could be thousands of photos uploaded every day. One thing my boss has asked a few time

Answer 1

I doubt that there exists any off-the-shelf software that can determine if the user uploads a naughty picture. Your best bet is to let users flag images as 'Adults Only' with a button next to the picture. (Clarification: I mean users other than the one who uploaded the picture--similar to how posts can be marked offensive here on StackOverflow.)

Also, consider this review of an attempt to do the same thing in a dedicated product: http://www.dansdata.com/pornsweeper.htm.
