I had a English Lit professor I really enjoyed who defined pornography as, "Anything that cheapens the human experience." Interestingly enough, under that definition, he could reasonably defend his argument that the movies Disney puts out are porn, especially Bambi.

I personally feel that if the person has to smear vaseline on the camera lens to make the pic bearable to look at, then it's porn. For me, if it makes me laugh, it is definitely porn. I think porn is hilarous, in my own warped sense of humor, and have a hard time understanding how anyone gets off on it.

On the other hand, David Hamilton has done a lot of black and white work, and I love all of it--I really do. (In other words, it doesn't make me laugh--LOL!) I've seen "Sisters" and (I do apologize if this offends you) to me, it is art. His work with shadows/light is incredible. One of his best photos is a picture of a woman's thigh/knee.

I'm not trying to start an argument. I guess I'm just agreeing that porn is subjective. I was gullible enough in the other thread to click on that one mistake and I just had to run away from my computer--LOL! I should know better. I even read Joe's warning and still didn't get it.

But, I did laugh at the nonsense there--and my frantic feeling of being dumped upon when I couldn't close any of those windows and had to bail out with disconnect. That was so much porn I laughed half an hour afterwards.
