I'm trying to share something I think is beautiful with the community. My intention wasn't to have a debate about if this is art to each personal viewer so I removed the art tag. Happy Steeming! <3
I don't think you needed to remove the art tag IMHO - photography is art and you clearly stated it was NSFW so anyone who has a problem with nudity shouldn't be clicking.
It does say nudity.. but there is a difference between nudity and gratuitous nudity for the purpose of arousal. You cant write a Photo essay on any of these shots - the lighting, texture, contrast, horizontal and vertical lines, shape, etc... I can point you to a few spread eagle pics if you care to compare. People obviously love these pictures - lets see how much they love them when they take up more than 1 spot on the list of trending posts. Slippery slope..
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/erotic-art/#DefEroArt thanks for confirming that this is actually art, erotic art by definition. smh
So the state is needed to tell us what is art and what is porn ? Lol
More like slippery hole ;)
Or maybe you are just aware that tits, pussy and ass sells and that it presumably are men the vast majority of whales and that they likely are turned on by your naked pussy
Upvoted. As photographer/Photographic artist that does shoot erotic art and nudes. I read the discussion above as to weather is this Art or Porn.
What is ART is subjective even without nudity. And then you take that to a new level with explicit nudity as to what is porn.
The NSFW I have posted so far leans to the Art side more but I shoot this style as well sometimes.
I would say this is either Explicit Erotic Art or Artistic Porn. Either way, nice work by all involved, I like the really white Black & White.
Yes agreed. Very beautiful. I think a lot of these negative feelings that people have stem from discomfort with the human body. Nobody is offended by animals whose gentialia are often visible. These are peculiar hang ups if one thinks about them logically.
But animals don't make photos of their genitalia)))
No but people take photos of animals (and they don't censor them) and you can go outside your house and see a dog with his balls hanging out. It is a spurious argument.
May be animals don't sensor them because people feed them))). Anyway, there are always two camps. My opinion is it is too too...plus a woman shall have a secret)))
Thank you. It's nice to have a clear definition and I think you have help clarify the type of art it is.
No problem. ;)
PERFECT :)
Thank You
Personally I think that there is just about enough pornography elsewhere on the internet and I do not find it necessary to have it on Steemit too. I am pro freedom, as an anarchist, but I am also pro freely enforced limitations if the general opinion goes towards a platform free of porn. There are trillions and trillions of crap porn filling cyberspace. It is not a way to enrich Steemit by adding more of the same here.
I likes;)
You have a nice *ss hole and I say this as nicely as I can. Some of my buddies laugh@me when I tell them I licked one ass out my lifetime thus far and the only reason I did(which I never thought I would) was because the girl I was with@the time was so clean. There was no smell, it was in my face and so I went for it! and it was quite tasty;)
So yeah you have one that I can work with, nice and thx for sharing ;)Hope this doesn't sound nasty which it probably does but hey! to each is own!
Each to their own I guess. Although if this was my daughter, I wouldn't be proud of her at all
I think it's art. Just not the typical hang on your wall picture or sculpture. But, guess you can have your opinion. I think the black and white shoot is tasteful. D I resisted saying tasty. Lol Nice art.
Thank you :)
I am still waiting for a photoshoot with a man that spreads his legs in this way ;)
Buy some gay porn !
why i have to buy? when male whales can upvote and see them for free in trending page? lol
Then don´t buy. Make it yourself
too much work. i will just wait hahahahahahahahahah
Cool
Looks more like deliberate pornography. Not that I am offended, I am just clarifying
Well it's professional photography by a talented artist and many people view the body as an art form. With that being said art is subjective to the viewer.
My philosophy is that art has two sides. The creator is "doing" something to express themselves in some way (my best description on the spot), while the observer trues to put himself in this artists place by "enjoying" his art. Whether or not that succeeds, is the degree to which the observer sees it as art (from his point of view). So basically are is subjective and not really a topic for philosophical discussion whether something is art or not
Pornography is supposed to create sexual stimulation in the observer, not creating an opportunity to put himself in the place of the "artist", therefore, when photographs focus solely on bodyparts that has always been considered sexually stimulating to look at , i consider it pornography, not art
When I look at the photos above i see no specific difference between it, and what is generally considered pornography, except being in b/w. But that in itself is not enough to qualify for labelling something art in the first place
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/erotic-art/#DefEroArtthanks for confirming that this is actually art, erotic art by definition.
I would call it "erotica" and I think it is very artistic. There is no sexual activity involved.
Agreed. Definitely erotica. Still artistic. Definitely not for everyone. And as a heterosexual female I'm not at all offended. Ah, to be young and thin again. :D
There are advantages to maturity. I have always had a liking for strong mature women. Also If I had the body of an adonis I think I would probably have these kinds of photos taken too. You might as well have something to remember from your youth and the human body is beautiful. Sadly I have a face and body that is best suited for radio so I stay behind the camera!
ROFL - that's MY line! hahaha
My husband's line is: "I used to be built like a brick shit house. Now I'm just a shit house." I love that man. :D
A few years ago I had been going through boxes of old things and found an album full of negatives. Upon further inspection I realized there were a few pages of my mother (in her early 20s before kids) in the nude. They were actually quite beautiful...even though the subject was my mother. LOL When I brought it to her attention with a little wink and wiggling eyebrow, she was not embarrassed at all. She was like, "What! I was HOT back then." GO MOM! haha. Maybe that's where I get my attitude from?
There's nothing wrong with it lol! You should ask her if you could post them:) If I had the body I would do it for sure. To be immortalised as art!
That's great to hear, Thank You :)
I agree. I think I will use EroticArt for a tag on future posts instead of art, Thank You.
You're welcome. Thank you for sharing:)
hahahahahahahahahah
I totaly agree with you. This is NOT "art" to me.
it's beautiful
Thank You
Thank You
It's okay to have different opinions :) !
I agree 100%
Pornography to you is art to someone else. Aesthetic is in the eye of the beholder.
So why discuss t anyway, if you have no chance of changing or even affect other people perception of something being "art" or"pornography"?
I think the story is something else. By calling pornographic images art, the girl in the photo is put on a more acceptable category than if it is labeled pornography (though the acceptance of pornography is rising). This way the girl will keep posing for such shots and the "viewer" (who likes this kind of pornography) can get more of it and at the same time hide the true purpose of his or her "interest"
....and?
So what?
Maybe it is not really doing the girl a favor to tell her to keep doing pornography, while pretending it is art. If she get kids in the future, they may not really like that their moms pussy and ass floats around in cyberspace. Just a thought !
While I concede to you from the future, hypothetical, children's point of view, I contend that she has every right to do whatever she wishes, as an innocent and naive person or a cunning and calculating person putting on that front, and any gradation in between, so long as she doesn't impede on our rights as humans, and I think we know the answer here about whether her content does such a thing.
In freedom, beauty is achieved.
That's not pornography.
I dig it. Thanks for being brave in what I would assume is a pretty vulnerable position. Or maybe I misunderstand, and it's actually a very powerful position? What do you think? How would you categorize it, @denvermax?
It can be very empowering once comfortable with it but can be a vulnerable position at first. Also Thank You!
Very nice pictures and yummy ##### ;)
Thanks! <3
3rd from top is striking good. About the art or not I would say subjectivity is on the eye of the beholder, the images are though a bit pornographic without intercourse though, but since we have seen real intercourse taking place in the mainstream industry like Marlon Brandon's film Last Tango in Paris and not just that. I say it is acceptable we can't tag nudity as non-art because people might get offended by it. Art does serve a lot of purposes, some times offending can be a side product of the procedure. If ancient Greeks had cameras we would had a lot more documents about their lifes instead of just sculptures. That said.
I understand why you removed the art tag though porn-art related subject was never meant to be a mainstream thing.
As a matter of fact nudity is a one of the most important aspects of art. but that is not going to be analyzed by me in a comment here. It is common culture for millennia.
I think its the up close pics of my privates that make people feel its not art but porn. It is what your mind makes it. Thank You
"Nudity is one of the most important aspects of art" If this were true most art would be nude. I think you are confusing a subject with element. Elements of art are things like symmetry, shape, line, texture, color, etc. Those elements may be in a painting or photograph that contains the nude human form - but art is much bigger than some tattoo'ed girls bunghole. Nobody is sitting here talking about contrast or unity, rhythm or motif., shape. symmetry of redundancy. I have no objection to the images if you tag them - but god.. stop fooling yourselves.
most art is nude. most mainstream art is not.
That makes no sense. How many songs on the radio are nude? Or do you not consider music an art? "Most Art" cant be nude if most "mainstream art" isn't - follow that logic.
according your logic blind people should be offended of nude, of course there is such thing as pornographic music... I will paste you some examples here.
I was calling into question your statement that "most art is nude". Are you trying to be philosophical about it or are you saying that most Art is of nude forms?
...but why not talk "about contrast or unity, rhythm or motif, shape, symmetry or redundancy", here?
I've stared at a dew drop before for what felt like an eternity and in that seemingly eternal, "blissed out" moment, I was convinced that the secret of beauty was revealed to me: seeing a thing without mental conceptions.
As @denvermax said in her previous comment, "it is what your mind makes it." With an innocent mind, or a mind "turned-off", I'm more than certain that we can see all the beauty of intricacies that you speak of (symmetry, shape, line, texture, color) and, more importantly, be filled with the sense of beauty, here, in these pictures.
Of course, it's also natural for a heterosexual male who's predisposed to be attracted to a certain "type" or "form" of female to be aroused by such photos, even if their mind is "cleared", but that's natural and beautiful too. It all comes down to perspective and, unfortunately, 99 out 0f 100 people are living in a seriously mutated reality that mixes ideals with truth...I'll add "in my opinion", here, as I don't have actual proof that my numbers are anywhere near accurate.
I think most of what you say about art/ beauty has to do with ideals, many of which may not even be your own. Perhaps they were conditioned out of your education and upbringing.
In truth, beauty has very little to do with thoughts or concepts, it's something that just "happens" and the conditions which instill such wonderful feelings and insights don't always make sense to the logical/ rational part of the mind, from which you're attempting to define art.
Art appeals to the aesthetic porn appeals to the erotic.
And what do you call it when something appeals to both at the same time?
Artistic porn?
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/erotic-art/#DefEroArt thanks for confirming that this is actually art, erotic art by definition. stop fooling yourself because you are ignorant about art definitions, smh btw I seen your great photography, lol.
Im glad you "seen it" . Did you even read that article? I am talking about categorization of content i'm not criticising your content per se. But thanks for the schoolyard bullying - sorry my content doesn't live up to your sky high standards.

"Your focal point doesn't change throughout the shoot (its not her face). This isn't about aesthetics or emotion... Its bad porn. To everyone out there who thinks this is art - I'm the wallet inspector...,"your comment not mine. I did read it, what did you read the first few lines and move on? and yes I have high standards and am I highly skilled artist. School yard bullying isn't my thing but what are you even talking about categorizing? the tags are appropriate. I honestly don't see your point
You know what man - you are right - I should have made a post of my own if I wanted to discuss the categorization of media or the "definition of art". I really didn't think about the guy behind the camera... You just made that real to me. My apologies - seriously.
Your focal point doesn't change throughout the shoot (its not her face). This isn't about aesthetics or emotion... Its bad porn. To everyone out there who thinks this is art - I'm the wallet inspector...
Yea what gives you the right to tell people what they think art should be? If you have not noticed this place is about freedom, no need for dictatorships in here. its not really welcomed.
NOthing but labels. Reality isn't so black and white.
What label? Porn? I never said there was anything wrong with it - miscategorized yes.
Yes, "porn".
It's just a word that we blanket over an infinite subset of pictures and actions and sounds and....., which, yes, have similarities, but, in many cases, also have qualities that are, in every way, opposite from the other "content" that we unconsciously lump it in with by choosing to use such a broad term of categorizing.
Each instance of human action/ interaction is 100% unique, although it may share some similarities with past instances. My feeling is if we can be 100% present to what we have in front of us (in other words, not categorizing/ labeling), then we can see what's ACTUALLY represented by the action(s). IMO, it's only in that clear state of mind that we can accurately perceive intentions and motivations (both in ourselves and in others) and it's only in this state of mind that we can perceive pure beauty (not perverted by "unholy" thoughts, or lines of thinking).
The memory of a sunset doesn't have the same impact as the experience of being present to one, in the moment. Likewise, being with preconceived judgments about what a thing is or isn't (whether it's "right" or "wrong", for instance), whilst having that thing in one's presence, doesn't have the same quality to it as being 100% in that thing's presence.
The thought (about something) ISN'T the thing!!!
Stunning, I like your tats. My only critique is maybe the photographer should have done a bit more with the focal point/depth of field.
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/erotic-art/#DefEroArt , It's Erotic Art. At least as defined here by people who I assume are much more qualified to make this assessment then any of us.
May I ask You a personal question @denvermax ?
sure, also that was a question :D
You do not have to answer if you don't want to. But have you been sexually abused as a child or young teenager ?
What is the matter with you.. I don't even knock on my neighbors door to borrow Milk in real life - and you are asking this poor girl about sexual abuse? What could you possibly gain by knowing the answer to that?
looks like you were raised in closed doors with a very religious mother and father showing you one way of the world which was their way, how can you ask such a question, when clearly you know nothing of art if it turns you on its because you were probably abused and shut down as a child or teenager, any other person would see it as such, art comes in many forms the human body is an art piece in itself.
I'm very happy to have drum up so many peoples voices with this post. Thanks for all your comments, positive or negative I respect how everyone feels and appreciate the participation. It seems clear to me we need a system for the 3% who have issues with this sort of content. Happy steeming friends!!
danm why so serious
can we all get along ha ha ha
the art in this post is the variation of the position like how she can take it
my humble opinion
Incredible Photos.. Cheers!
anyone who claims this is not art please educate yourself before responding to this post, thanks. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/erotic-art/#DefEroArt
I do not know whether this is art or porn perhaps most porn because you also refers to a site where you sell pornographic videos, but still art if you see the pictures in its simplicity
but you have surely aroused some interest and debat
But as a man from the first country in the world that legalized porn and nude art, and a country fighting for equal position between genders and a strong supporter of the free life and free choice, I say more power to you.
Female equality struggling complex
x - a woman has the right to do what she wants with her body
y - cool, I want to make porn
x - porn is demeaning woman
y - but it is something I choose and likes
x - what to do when / if you want a job
y - if you judge me, you have seen me old dirty hypocrite
hahahahaha
To the question, it should be mainstreem on steemit, FREEDOM OF BLOCK CHAIN
downvoted for circumventing the nsfw filter. im not posting this looking for a fight, but there has been some dissatisfaction expressed with people downvoting without leaving an explanation. So this is me leaving an explanation.
"Circumventing the nsfw filter"? Are you joking? You expect someone to put tags in a specific order just because Steemit hacked their site to filter out only based on a single tag?
Flagging for being, well, stupid.
Beyond the somewhat detailed response to kiddarko below, i wanted to reply to the tag-order thing.
im not a developer or anything, so i don't know why tags work the way they do, but i think its pretty common knowledge about NSFW appearing in the first tag in order for the system to filter it.
I also don't think its necessarily bad that the NSFW tag as the first tag hides posts from feeds, but as a later tag does not.
At least to my way of thinking, if the NSFW aspect is the primary aspect of the post, the tag should be first and it ought to be hidden from the feeds. If the post is about something else, and there is a small aspect that is NSFW (an example might be some of sean kings old posts), then i think the tag as a warning is sufficient without hiding it from feeds.
WHere to draw that line is problematic, and subjective to a certain extent. To me, this seems to be primarily porn and the photography aspect is secondary. But i am not an expert on either subject.
Can you post the NSFW rules for steemit under your comment please @sigmajin ?
Post again so i can get flagged again by denver and bernie? OK sure... whatever I guess there's nothing wrong with putting myself in the dunking booth.
The "rules" depend on who you ask (or at least the answer you get about the rules depends on who you ask). Some people (like @berniesanders says in the comment above) say there are no rules. Its a free and open blockchain. Personally, i find that model more appealing, though most here do not acknowledge it. If thats the case, then I cast my downvote on the free and open blockchain, as i'm free to do, because i think porn appearing in public feeds is harmful to the platform, and that the value added to the system by the content does not justify its payout . Now yes, this is an entirely subjective opinion.But it happens to be mine and im expressing it with my vote the same way you were with yours when you upvoted the post.
This justification for a downvote might be familiar to @berniesanders, as it is pretty similar to the one he used when he created a great deal of controversy by downvoting a bad and overvalued post by TDV (a downvote btw that i applauded in various comments).
There is another school of thought that says there is a set of rules about what content is appropriate based on the steemit weltanschauung if you will, a set of shared ideas about what material is appropriate in what places and what is not and that only material which violates this set of informal guidelines should be downvoted.
My views tend toward the first model, where a blockchain is a blockchain and a vote is a vote, though in reality the true answer is somewhere inbetween. I posted my justification based on the second model because, for me personally, a post like this is a flag either way, and Ive noticed that very few people actually take the view that bernie does below. Most people think there are a set of rules about what you can downvote and what you can't. I personally think that this post is a flag even going by those rules.
Now you can choose to reatliate if you want by flagging me... the same free and open blockchain that lets me vote against your posts also lets you vote against mine. But i will point out that 6 people flagged you, and of them, you elected to reatliate against the one of the six who elected to do you the courtesy of explaining why he voted the way he did. The next time someone complains that s/he was flagged and the flagger left no explanation, maybe someone will post a link here.
There are no rules. This is an open and free blockchain, do as you please.
Ya - if you are the 1%
