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.

I think I love you.
This is what I tried to say but I guess didn't come across.
