Visual imagery.

Post by Veganman »

When does art, in the sense of visual imagery, cross the boundary and become either erotica, pornography, or both?

When you can wank to it?? :oops:

Or when others are disgusted by it. :lol:

If you go to Yahoo Images and type in "cosplay", most of those images are erotic photos, but not really porn, even though many are designed to illicite a response.
But the same images in 1975 would be pornographic. I do not think there is any thing graphic here, but times change.

Veganman,
I would suppose when the subjects involved in erotica imagery are treated in one dimension, devoid of real identity or humanity but simply objects.
