[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 584248, member: 55446"] yoe91, I think you're mixing "pornography" and "erotica" as if they were interchangeable. It's generally accepted that there's a distinction between the sex portrayed in Back Door Sluts 6 and Jupiter et Junon (Agostino Carracci). And although there are terms for these - "pornography" and "erotica" - their definitions can be very subjective, and often very political. For example, you'd probably want to stop a teacher showing pictures from a porno to a classroom, whilst still granting them access to erotic art for subjects such as sexual education, biology and literature. But because there's no clear line between the most artistic of pornography, and the most sexually appealing erotic art, the boundaries often get blurred. Add on top political motivations of abstinence-only vs. sex ed. enthusiastic groups, and you end up with very subjective definitions. What was porn in the USA, may not be porn in Europe. What was porn 30 years ago, may not be porn now. etc. [/QUOTE]
