You are correct and I'm not saying that I described the Holy Grail of detecting porn in a single paragraph. I'm just pointing to another direction. No solution to a very complex problem could be one-dimensional. Combining several different tests might lead to a solution. I.e. these jujitsu photos should not even be detected as “certain body configurations” as people there are fully clothed and there's not much actual bodies seen in the picture (so mentioned skin color definitely should come to play when detecting wether you see a body or not).

At the end of the day I doubt there could be a fully bulletproof and always correct solution using current state of tech. But you need to factor much more than just skin color if you try to build an automated solution to this problem.

There's plenty of fully clothed porn out there. They're even tags on some porn sites.
