Rhetorical question to make you think: where do we draw the line between smut and art?

• nurettin 6y ago
  smut is gratituous and without meaning and has a singular purpose. It is pretty easy to tell apart.

    Then this is art.

      MAIDEN: You hateful octopus! Your sucking at the mouth of my womb makes me gasp for breath! Aah! yes… it’s…there!!! With the sucker, the sucker!! Inside, squiggle, squiggle, oooh!

      (Art ∨ smut)? At least it's consensual, unlike Dr. Hill's trysting with a bubble headed coed. I don't see any hectocotyli so it's possible The Fisherman's Wife passes the Bechdel test.

    It's not so clear; not only is there porn that has meaning or even a message(think some fanfiction, or certain hentai manga), but erotic art sits in a strange position. Philosophers still argue about whether 'erotic art' is art, or whether it can be delineated from porn at all. Not to mention, there are contemporary (last five years) arguments for and against porn itself being art. You can make a reasonable case (i.e. one taken seriously by experts in the field) either way.

  That's something for parents to do for their children, and for me to not care about.
