Erotic Art vs Pornography: Part II

Most of the pictures from the last post disappeared, so I decided to use websites instead.

I don't think that there's any doubt that a site call chicksnbreasts -- hot girls, sexy pictures and videos -- would lean to the porn side of things. They basically search Flickr and post pics that they find there. Most of these are like the snapshots no one is supposed to see, but somehow get posted to the internet.

The line gets much more blurred with debauchette and beautiful and depraved. I think this are run by women and it seems to have a more highbrow leaning. There's little stories and commentary. Lots of black and white photographs, but then there's the hardcore stuff. Most of the time, its on the erotic art side of things, but then it crosses over in straight porn.

FIFTYROOMS is pretty firmly on the erotic art side of things. It lists the name of the photographers who are participating -- after you go through a warning message. You click on the name of the photographer and it takes you to their contribution. All the images are Polaroids. The only contributor that I recognized was Merlin Bronques from lastnightsparty. If you're familiar with his urban pinups -- if you're not you should be -- that's sort of stuff you'd see here, although everyone does it differently.
