I should have voted depends on what it is since not all that is created is art. Honestly, I'm a bit picky with what I define as porn, since for me it falls into various levels of um... exposure, something in that sense. First is the difference between nude shots and porn, a lot of people have trouble distinguishing that, which greatly frustrates me. next, teasers up to the act itself you call them I enjoy in the sense that there is no hyper ejaculation, inflation, herms (man I hate those) and other things, like tentacles and half-assed censorship, which greatly hate too.

Is your stance based on personal taste then or more towards a religious affiliation?

Mostly taste, since religion for me defines moral conduct and. Porn is simply watching or viewing sex, not exactly engaging in sexual intercourse.

Pornography can be just as much 'Art' as a painting, sculpture, work of music, or giant robot.

'Art' is merely a quality of being aesthetically pleasing ad different people will interpret what they consider 'art' differently.

Example: I consider Ken 'Cougr' Sample's macrophile artwork, msot of which is pornographic in nature, to be 'art' as I find it aesthetically pleasing.

Likewise I consider the giant robots in the Armored Core games to be 'art' as they're both aesthetically pleasing and at least somewhat realistic and logical in design.

Likewise yet again I fancy many forms of music to be 'Art', be it Beethoven or Blind Guardian.

So, really, 'Art' is all a matter of interpretation and I, personally, choose to consider ALL thigns a work of 'Art' in some way, with some simply being better quality than others.

You should have read the comment I made about 15 year old boys calling anything with big, and subsequently bigger breasts to be "high art". Most of the comments though take from where you're coming from.

the size of a woman's breasts shouldn't affect the quality of the work. it's all in technique and skill, not content.

Well the thing is, is than now a days nude posing or any thing in the nude is pretty much pornography due to the fact that it is created for sexual desires. Now if it is posing but there is more that just a nude woman or man and they aren't making erotic gestures, then it can be art. Like the statues created by the greeks of greek godesses then it is art because they are portraying the beauty of women yet making them respectful not pictures to turn you on.
