How many people think that the photos that can be found in magazines like Hustler or Playboy should be considered art or artistic? Do you think painting by the masters which featured female nudity in various poses should be considered pornographic? When is art considered pornography and pornography art? Interestingly while I was an art student at college we could just never get any of the male models to pose nude, guess they saw it as taboo, yet our female models had no problem with it and saw it as art.wine

No,playboy,etc are not art or artistic they are just pornograghy meant for arousement and promisquity especially among youths.While an artistic painting,drawing,sculpture,watever is an expression of the beauty of the female body.

Its a fine line but i would not call playboy porn. They do not just hire any smuck off of the street, their photagraphers are top quality. I took a course in photagraphy and they had a list of magazines that have excelent photagraphy , playboy and hussler were on the list.
Where i live every wendsday there are nude models at the local collage ( male and female,,, you have to pay to get in but they are there ). There is also an art gallery that has nude models during the summer.
