I would not say a word. She knows our values. And our goals for her. She would make her own choice. But...she has high self esteem, she does not need money, and...she has other goals in her life.

Of course it is her decision (Everyone knows that). I don't think you should've put that option in the poll, because it gives parents an easy way out of actually answering the question. It's kinda like asking the general question "Good, bad, or let's all just get along?" Naturally, people are going to pick the most agreeable answer
I don't think you really can do much after they are 18. If you are too conservative or reactionary your daughter won't even tell you beforehand most likely thus making your opinion on the subject moot. I think most parents would discuss the cons of it down the road though.

Indeed. But if your only opinion on it is "It's up to her", that means you don't perceive any cons of it worth mentioning. When asked, "Would you want your daughter to pose nude?", I can't bring myself to evade the question by saying "Well, it's her decision". Now if we were asked, "What would you do/say", I can see "She's a grown woman. She'll have to decide for herself" being (part of) the rational answer.
I honestly don't understand why it upsets people. I'm a guy and have done work as a nude model. If Playgirl offered me a check to be in their college guys issue, I'd take it in a heartbeat. It's a really illogical thing to care about. People would look at me and fantasize about me whether or not I was in a nude magazine, a smart person would hopefully make some money off that.

It's a matter of lust and what one is/isn't doing to cultivate it. You may be right that some people would fantasize about you either way, but not quite so many, yes? To the extent that lust is bad (which is a whole other subject in which people can't even agree on how to define the term "lust" much less what to think of it), doing something that might contribute to it in a single person or in society is bad.
Of course, I will freely admit that most parents are not concerned for the minds of the viewers or society in general so much as they are simply hypocrits. They believe it's fine for someone else's daughter to show up nude in a public forum but not their own.

No offense, of course.
I would care less if she posed nude but i would inform her that it might have repercussions for jobs later on.
I would stop her if I could but legally I couldn't. I wouldn't support her either. I'm a parent, it's my job to NOT support stuff like that. The chips would fall somewhere, but it wouldn't be the same.

I wouldn't want my sons to pose nude for a magazine. And I believe my reasons are quite logical:
In this day and age, with so much free "stuff" out there on the internet, you would have to already be a celebrity to make any real money from posing in a publication. And I would imagine that any resulting opportunities for fame/fortune/success would be very, very limited.
On the other hand, the odds of an old photo coming back to bite you down the road are probably much greater. So just something to think about...

I'd have no problem with it, but as a society in the US, people are all uptight about nudity anyway.
