Lexi,
the key phrase there is IN YOUR BOOK.
You are entitled to your beliefs as I am to mine as we all are to ours. Our sororities propose a general type of morality--it is highly interpretive. And, will be interpreted in a thousand different ways if a thousand different people are looking at it.
Standards for behavior in my part of the country are more liberal and relaxed. And so, an active posing would be treated differently here than they would in other areas--that is the only point I make.
As for the art v porn debate -- let me cite Cindy Crawford's playboy pictorial...I believe Herb Ritts photographed it (if anyone knows for sure, please confirm/correct me) and it was gorgeous.
Not all pictorials are like this granted, but you cannot make a blanket statement that a photograph of a naked woman cannot be art.
That, like everything else I said is MY OPINION, which I am entitled to.
Amy
