I have a website that serves up images mostly. Generally funny or freaky images in large galleries. I was thinking about using adsense but some of the images contain nudity. I was thinking of dropping the dirty images and going with google adsense but was not sure if you guys had any suggestions on how to monetize the site.

While I can't address your situation directly, let me say that you should exhaust all other practical and viable options before deciding to alter your site's content for an ad vendor. Would be better to first try all other forms of monetization including banner ad sales.

There are advertisers for mature audiences. Adsense is not the be all end all. If the pictures fit your vision then I'd keep them...

Offer premium services - more disk space for uploading images,
extra features like folders, a search function, password protection,
format conversion (eg, JPG -> PNG), gallery branding, revenue
sharing and so on.

People will pay a monthly fee for a service that is useful to them
either because is saves time, makes them money or brings people
into their world (communication, traffic, whatever).

If you don't mind hosting your images elsewhere, you could try using image hosts that pay everytime an image is clicked and viewed in full.

I wouldn't change your site just to get accepted into Adsense. There are programs that would probably pay better than Adsense when it comes to an image site. If you really want to though, then change it, but if heard the earnings from Adsense is really low for enteratainment type sites as people just want to look at the images and not click on any of the ads.
