Porn industry in general has no feeling in what it shows, it's driven by human instincts, biological stuff. There's no art in there whatsoever. Calling it art is just an excuse to make money and make people less pissed off about it being around. These days everythng can be called art if you wrap it nicelly in a smart phylosophy.....Porn industry does that....

Yeah, we call that kind of porn, "bad porn".
I don't understand why there has to be a distinction at all. Porn can be porn, and also be art. It's not an excuse. It's the truth.
I think people just want "porn" and "art" to be within their realms of comfort. Then they can say "oh well, this is done TASTEFULLY, so it's okay."
Well I'm sorry, making people comfortable is not an artist's job. In fact, I would think it's more their job to make you uncomfortable.
I'm damn happy with Leslie's work. He's trying to make people see and understand that this style is natural, it's an expression, it's sexy, raw, powerful, and fun. It's another side to a lot of us.
And think about the fact that he's doing it in a place like Japan. It's necessary and needed.
Hell. It looks like it's needed everywhere else too.
No one seems to understand pornography at all. It's not just about sexual arousal. It's about the representation of human sexuality.
I don't know about you guys, but my sexuality is not well represented by some Venus de Milo-Leonardo da Vinci-classical archetype. Thank god.
whatever. That's my 50 cents on porn.
