Porn is like the movies, it is not real. If you have ever seen the production it is like a circus. It all begins with Viagra and enemas. It ends with major editing to get the finished product.
LOL!I don't find the topic objectionable but I don't find it to be an "art form" either. It just is what it is...not too complicated...bow chica bowwow...
You raise some interesting questions. I think they suggest a workable definition for pornography itself: it's porn if it's a commodity. If by chance, a work of pornography were to transcend the function of a commodity, then it may be worthy to be judged as art.-Same as rock'n'roll, or any other commercial art. Art made to sell. Art born not from the beating heart and living soul of the artist, but from market research and focus groups. If it is a product designed to appeal to a targeted demographic, with the sole intent of making a profit, then no. It isn't art.-For me, that's the line of demarcation. IS it a commodity? a product? What IS the purpose of the work? Is it to function as art (the only true bridge between souls that human kind has discovered,) or does it just make a buck?
The biggest problem I have is those crappy celebrity sex movies (ie night vision, horrible camera work, yadda yadda) taking away those jobs and that hard earned money of our loyal porn workers. However will Bearden get her dream job as a fluffer?
