what do you guys think?
 
so i was having a little debate with my friend today, and given all the sex talk that's been going on in the forum lately, i thought it'd make a good thread.

what is your take on pornography? should it be considered as "art" as some claim it is, or as a form of entertainment like any other, or is it really just prostitution filmed on camera?

I believe that some 'nudity' can be considered "art"...But, poronography is just trash, and I personally am not into it in any of it's forms...

BUT...To each his/her own

Porn is entertainment

Entertainment IS art. Most porn is no high-brow art, nor very sophisticated. It IS art, it just might not be tasteful, or even GOOD art.

Andrew Blake porn is VERY artistic by the way. Like everything, there is god porn and bad. The vast majority is bad. Most people who watch porn arn't interested in the film par se - and just want to see the "action". This is akin to horror fans who skip to the gore and forget the story around it. Mind you, often time so little effort is put into the story aspect of a pron film, who can blame them?

Most porn then is aimed at one thing above all else - one scene. So it's pretty damn stupid.

i dont think that porn can be called art at all.........i mean of course it is debatable but i really dont think that that kind of stuff is art.....mre like entertainment

i guess in a strange way it CAN be art. really anything can be art depending on how u look at it. but to me its way too phony to be art. most of it anyway.

phony and fake looking, so personally i dont find it interesting at all. like not appealing either, i mean i guess some dudes like the whole barbie doll smothered in make up fake orgasm type of shits. but not me :)

then again, i guess that what amateur porn is for lol.

omg. i was thinking of my dog just now..

so let me say for the record, animal sex porn is just wrong!! not talking about the discovery channel stuff but the actual people and sheep shit. supposedly hooved animals r the favorite, i wonder why the preference?

i stumbled upon a dog and a dude accidently, wasnt that graphic.. but i could only imagine.. :mad:

Porn is entertainment pure and simple, if a guy shits on stage and then smears it all over himself somehow it can be called art. I never really found any porn star who had enough brains in their head to put a sentence together besides "Give it to me up the ...." or "oooooooooohhhhhhh thats it right there," *Creeper leaves room and heads to porn collection* just kidding, I really dont think it could be called art in any form.

what about porn as prostitution? could a parallel be established between the two because they both are, very basically, sex in exchange for money.

entertainment. i guess it can be art, but most of the stuff out there is just dumb.
