The lines between Porn and Art are blurred, for advertisers now know the key factor is that sex sells. It seems we have outgrown Christian views of chastity and devaluating the body 500 years ago, when nudity in art became popular. It was in a recent lecture that our class were analysing banned adverts and when one particular diesel advert was shown, with numerous female legs wrapped around a male, my lecturer asked "Where does this belong?". I stupidly replied "Porn Hub", then he made me explain to the class what porn hub was...
