Quote - I find your art to be erotic. I suggest you deal with it or stop creating your style of artwork.
I never said it wasn't :)
I enjoy soft and sensual art; both looking at it and creating it. I have no wish, want or desire to look at blatant nudes for the sake of nudes, or computer generated pixels posed in sexual positions alone or "together".
"Erotic" is tasteful and covert with connotations and hints, if they are picked up on.
"Porn" is raunchy and "out there" leaving nothing to the imagination and serves only one purpose.
However, going back again to your initial post, you used the following phrases:
To me your description, whether you like it or not, fits the "Getting off on Porn" catagory, which is why people were telling you to go discuss it at Renderotica, and not here.
I would hardly consider those 2 images of mine that you have chosen to use as a platform for your cause here, to be "adult". Are they sensual? One is most certainly, and I created it to be that way. The other is simply a pretty girl wearing an elegant dress and stopping to check her heel. Erotic? Not to my mind.
However, I would have no problem letting a young child look at either one of those images either. They are fully clothed, no private parts are showing and you see far more, less, worse in a shopping mall or on a public beach.
As I said earlier, while you may not have meant to, it's apparent by the statements in your initial post, that you exagerated what you were talking about. You came across as wanting to discuss "Porn", when in fact it seems you were referring to erotic/sensual art instead. I suggest you deal with that and perhaps pick your words a bit more wisely in the future.
