What to say..?
Artistic Nude does not exist in this world. Especially on dA, I suppose. Like M14 that is basically porn, all this AN refers to the same wording. I don't know what everyone might be thinking about it, but to me personally the border between these two genres is pretty invisible.

OBJECTION!!!

I believe there is a wide margin between what can be considered pronography and what can be called Artistic.

Are all examples of pronography.

The differences between the two examples should be obvious.

Pornography has one purpose, to excite it's viewer sexually.

In order to do that well, a certain level of artistic undertones are needed.

But, the fact remains that sexual excitation is the primary goal of pornography.

Artistic nudity involves the appreciation of the human form, and often includes other artistic elements that may or may not invoke feelings of arousal in its viewer.

Regardless, sexual arousal takes a distant second to artistic reverence in the case of artistic nudes.

It's true that many nude photographs and other works posted on DA are more concerned with sexual arousal than artistic respect, but to say that all nude pieces are pornography would be a very discourtious statement.

I rest my case, your honor.

Anyway, hence His Honor works for me he still takes my side whatever goddamn volume of rant you write
I just said that nude pictures are pr0n in my point of view and only. That's just my personal point of view. I'm pretty sure the majority of viewers love AN category for "boobs!!!" and other "juicy asses". Doesn't the "appreciation of human form" mean getting aroused and stuff? I think it does, other way nobody would look at it. Basically human instincts work here perfectly, you see a naked body, examine all its parts and details, get a certain reaction. That's why they get this much attention. Even concerning that there'll be nothing new for anyone, all the erotic stuff captures attention instantly.
I can clearly point out that the majority of straight men looking at naked women pics do not concern the art much. Art goes more like a background to add more arousal and atmosphere to the picture itself while the female body is the thing that captures attention.
I never mean to offend anyone or to push my point of view, I just think that any nude pic brings arousal. Other way all the artistic nude examples would be shown in prime time and mothers would never cover their children's eyes from the view of naked bodies.

Artistic Nude? Oh you mean PORN! Ha! I get it! You know really >.> When I load up DA and find a picture of some girl's crotch that is really not artistic at all >.> no matter what you say. Now I will say this! There are some out there that use the human body as art. But when I see two girls licking each other while one has a leash on her and the other one is holding it in her hands <.< I mean come on now that is going too far! Oh and I love the comments leave on them! You should read them sometime. But yes I will agree people are taking Artistic Nude a bit too far! Oh a when they get in to the DD with a comment at the bottom that says “this picture is a perfect example of an Artistic Nude! The crotch is beautiful!” >.> someone needs their eyes pulled out…just saying. But Ted you all ready know how I feel about it. I mean it has been one of our many MANY rants! XD

Rant rant rant. I agree with Alexiel-Kurai. I mean, you can appreciate the naked body in an artist way. But when you try to hard to make it artist and it turns into looking like porn. It is probably porn.
