Thin line between porn and art.

~Myou-kun:iconMyou-kun: reports, August 19, 2007
What is art and what is porn?

Some people seem to misunderstand the concept of art and porn. Does a raw hentai picture of a sexual act count as art? Two homosexual boys having sex count as art?

As the FAQ of Deviantart said or wrote :

"Subjects should not be positioned in a manner to suggest sexual penetration, genital to genital contact, genital to anal contact, oral to genital contact , oral to breast contact or oral to anal contact."

FAQ #565: You prohibit the submission of 'pornographic material'; what do you consider this to be?


I agree , we can make a sexual image or erotic artwork without using the sex in it. I mean people a girl giving a guy a blowjob is not art to me. Or other fellow artists.


Porn or erotic art, what do you think?


Some cultures say this is porn, do you agree?

How can you show repect to others and yet make sexy art?

I suggest that you cover them with fabrics or maybe in the shower coverd in foam. You might flame me for this opinion but try to show respect it excist minors here on Deviantart.

Somebody said they can search up porn easy anyhow, YEA but let´s keep one place in internet clean from such nonsense.



Let´s join as one voice one again

IF you wanna make porn art it excist many art community´s like Deviantart made for a porn artist or a hentai drawer, add this art on your own website. KEEP Deviantart clean from such images as porn.

" We do not allow the submission of "Adult" or pornographic materials to deviantART under any circumstances. Such material will be removed immediately as it comes to our attention. "
- FAQ #60: Are "Adult", explicit sexual or pornographic images allowed on deviantART?

Thank you Deviantart staff , after many reports from fellow artists we have manage to ban 5 porno artists from Deviantart.

Are you are teenage boy that loves hentai, search google and do not spam me for my opinion of porn. Porn is always porn, even when it is called hentai.

Erotic art is what then?

When a girl is on the ground coverd with leaves . A girl sleeping naked with silk sheets over here.
Or when two people are melting into one single form, just untop of each other hugging. Kisses is not counted as sex, not to me atleast.


I think it should be the same for Naga art, anthro art , and what about Giant boob pictures? Not porn but strange way of drawing a woman.


I direct you all to the Wikipedia : [link] << it tells very well what is erotic art.

I end this with few words: Is porn art? What counts as porn for you?



Also you may not agree, but let´s behave mature and no flamming.

Well said. There are plenty of nude pictures here on dA that aren't even borderline porn anymore, but just plain porn. Artistic nude on dA is fine by me, hell, the Renaissance was full of it, but porn? :no:

Well said! dA takes pornographic materials very seriously in order to comply with United States federal law and the admins who run this site will not hesitate to suspend or ban deviants submit pornographic materials in the first place.

Artistic nudity is fun...but pornographic materials is not okay. There are a lot of sick people on this site who have either little or no interest in supporting this site at all rather than ruining it for everyone.

I agree. Flaming is something that most people don't take lightly at all and if it's severe enough, it could lead to having their account reported. :no:

I like drawing boobies and I think theyre gorgeous to look at, but when I draw a topless girl, I never intend on making it look suggestive...
well, at least not if I plan on posting it here ^^;

I dont know where to draw the line between art and porn though...
I guess it depends on what the artist's idea was, for example, there's a difference between a pretty photograph of two people toghether to show how beautiful love can be (oh the clicheness) or a naked bondaged girl with her legs spread just to get pageviews.
