Interview with Robert Jensen on pornography (3 of 5)

[jacoblandes]

Erotic art or classic sculpture and painting gives a pleasure like admiration, but porn hits that button and you cease to be a human being, that is, your spiritual aspect is squelched. The problem with porn in gay culture is that it helps keep gay men immature and shallow. I have seen men in their 60's and 70's who talk land react like they are twelve years old as regards to sex and porn. There are other reasons for this, too, but porn sustains that immaturity.

I don't feel like Porn is an art form. I'm an artist who is interested in the human form and I see nothing art-like in porn.

[giantgorillastudios]

I can't help but agree. Erotica can have artistic aspects, but porn is completely artless.

@nellieeeeee

Nothing art-like at all. People who claim that "porn is art" are using art as a CRUTCH; because they know that art 'has no boundaries' and cannot be questioned.

[Gray99]

Well...hetero porn is really bad. But gay porn is a lot more healthy and expressive. In fact, most men in porn feel like they are around family.

WTF?

[giantgorillastudios]

LOL WUT?

[sunclov]

really?? Gay porn turns me on. I think it's hotter.

Hetero is kinda boring.
