i just enjoyed using very old terminology. soft core porn as "bomba", going out at bars as "disco".im still using "baduy" as unconventional and tacky to the more modern terminology "jologs". strip bars "hubohubo" as "caba ret" hahaha!

I'd say nudity is an art. Pornography? Definitely an excuse. The fact I'm stating is basing on the people I happen to know well. If some will contest this then I'd say this isn't the type of art I'm into.

It depends on context. A film could have sexual content and still be a work of art. People have ***, that is a big part of our reality and to ignore it in cinema is to distance yourself and the viewer from reality. Porn is obvious in it's intention, the type of lovemaking, the camera angles, the focus are all about gratification. I'm sure most people can differentiate without being told.

By nudity I didn't exactly mean no sexual content but yes, it depends on the content, the type of lovemaking and how it is presented.

every craft can be considered an art, and this includes pornography.

but the question that should be asked is not if porn is art, what kind of art, but what does porn hope to accomplish.

this should be the basis for judging its value and its merit.

nudity tingay...

art is cool hehe

[kai3rebel]

nudity could be art.. there are some nude arts that are not lewd..
but "pornography" (mind the quotes) hmmm..i cant say its art..

Well, according to the legal definition of pornography (or obscenity), i think it's not! & in the grand scheme, that's as subjective as it gets. (need i bring up the robert mapplethorpe phenomenon.)

But at a basic level, I would say yes. If you are filming, drawing, or photographing something happening (in this case people having ***), then I argue it is art in a sense. After all, photography, drawing, and film are all arts, are they not?

personally, though, i have to say NO over and over again. in fact, i'd have to say hell NO.
but that's just me.
