Yes, but that won't stop Google, Bing, Yahoo et al from "seeing" such content exists on the site, even if casual visitors can't access it, and dropping you out of search results. Go ahead, Moses, I'm more than happy to see pics. of naked guys, just didn't want all your hard work to cost you a load of traffic, for stuff that can be got elsewhere, in better quality and larger quantities than will ever exist here at Sawatdee Network.
If you don't mind losing your ranking, getting blocked from various countries and becoming inaccessible from public wifi, mobile phones, etc. that's entirely up to you.
It's your site, your rules.

I posted some photos based on the fact that someone had pointed out there are naked pics in the Gallery section and Moses had laid out some guidelines. Also the well-read Bangkokbois site had a fair share of naked pics every week without anyone ever raising objections or concerns. Nevertheless, I really do not see any need for a naked gallery here - unless it happens to drive interest in other parts of the site. As others have pointed out, there are many hundreds of new naked photos posted on tumblr sites daily.
Since there are obvious concerns being expressed, why not just kill the idea and have a gallery of non-frontal nude photos - as is the case on gaythailand.com?

Bangkokbois was originally hosted on it's own domain, separate from Sawatdee Network, I think it is currently hosted on a sub domain of Sawatdee Network since Russ's demise, which won't affect this site's rankings or accessibility.

Most hosting co's won't permit adult content on shared servers with a shared IP address. If Google decides to "adultify" the IP address, then everyone sharing that IP address suffers. Some hosting co's like Namecheap will allow adult content on Virtual Private Servers (VPS) as long as it's under a unique IP address, otherwise you're likely to need a dedicated server or a specific adult entertainment hosting service.
