Contrarily, I believe in art is a porn form; since sex work is the oldest profession, art was born of porn, and meant to seduce just the same, but in other ways. (That's the short version.)

Interesting. So if I understand correctly, your viewpoint could change how we see historical art, showing that early artistic works were not only about survival or religion but also about exploring and expressing human sexuality.

Absolutely. All "art" is created to arouse, entice, move, seduce, to call to action, elicit response — way back when it was far more intentional, there wasn't a lot going on, we hunted, ate, fought and fucked. The artist was the one who preferred fucking to the other three.

I completely agree that art is meant to evoke emotions. Even if a piece of art makes you feel sad or induces a sense of unease, it has achieved its goal: to provoke a reaction or stir a feeling. However, I'm not convinced that the only artists were people who liked to "fuck" 😆

Are we talking about art as an art form or just any and all graphics etched on the wall of a cave.

A cave drawing we call "art" today likely served a completely different purpose.

Defining art is highly subjective, which is exactly what makes it so intriguing and complex.

What motivations were there to create art during the dawn of mankind.

I love this question. I can only imagine early art was about communication, sharing information, teaching and for the same reason I love being a filmmaker—to tell stories.

Porn is absolutely an art form. The history of adult cinema is filled with some fantastic works of art. The works of Rinse Dream, Andrew Blake, Damanio, Greg Dark, James Avalon, and many others who put creativity on display.

That is not even mentioning the still photographers.

I completely agree—porn is undoubtedly an art form. It’s a medium that deserves more recognition for its creative depth.

@screw.wtf @angierowntree.bsky.social Well that was a heady conversation. I have nothing to add 😉
