Question Just my opinion.

I think pornography IS erotic. Where does art cross the line into porn? That, I don't know. I think it depends on the intent of the image. If the intent is to simply admire the beauty of a naked body, then it's art. If the intent is to make you horny, then it's porn. That doesn't mean that art can't be arousing, or that porn isn't artistic. It's a really fuzzy line. The instinct to reproduce hasn't diminished one little bit since cavemen. The stimulus that triggers it seem to be primarily visual for most men, and cerebral for women. Foreplay with the lights on? Everyone's a winner!
