I am sure you can have artistic pornography. I think the question is - "Is it designed solely, or almost solely, to arouse the viewer sexually". If the answer to that question is "Yes" then it is probably pornography- although it could be artistic pornography. Since pictures don't arouse me at all- I can't tell you what pictures would be pornographic- although I would know if they showed up in certain magazines- like Shaved- which I believe has no other purpose that to arouse. But I could be wrong, I've never perused it.

I agree with X. I have seen and read artistic pornography and it can be a delight to see and read if one enjoys it.

Is there something wrong with this?

I remember an artwork depicting the rapture of Teresa of Avila. If her face was not that of a woman in the throes of orgasm, I don't know what is!

Yet is this pornography?
