Why is an image of a naked person considered “porn”? Never understood that.

    It does for me lol, but I would describe this as well within the "soft-core" category. I mean they're different than images of, idk, a naked person just doing normal naked person stuff with no sexual undertones, like showering or whatever. I wouldn't consider that porn, but, it's hard to imagine a context where I'd be consensually shown such an image (taken of a person with their consent) in a way that wasn't meant to sexual stimulate me. I guess maybe like, a medical context? I'm not a doctor but there's an obvious difference between these naked images and the kinds you'd expect of someone sending in to their doctor because they're worried about a lump or something.

      I've had an inexplicable fetish for naked women since I was about 11. My therapist and I have been unable to discover the roots of it. No accounting for kinks, I guess. I never tell anyone IRL, lest women become self conscious about being naked in front of me in everyday casual situations. Plus the shame. My girlfriends usually figure it out, if they're perceptive. Now for serious. I have always found it unintentionally hilarious how many people appear to believe that porniness resides in the object, rather than in the viewer. Carrying on with categorizing this thing as sexual, and that thing as non-sexual. That only works for legal and regulatory purposes, sillies, and then only barely!

    Oh it's not unique to this country at all. idk about current laws but video of two people going at it used to be extremely illegal in the UK even if they were having the most conventional sex imaginable.

I'd guess that the creator of the site would have preferred to generate more spicy images, but the model wasn't trained on that kind of content. So later on the site may give you what you'd expect.

What do you propose would make more sense to be considered “porn”?

Artistic naked shots describes the output better than porn I believe.

Possibly. Like most stuff at EEVblog (@youtube) is pornographically good )
