[QUOTE="Djeta Thernadier, post: 1465184, member: 12043"] This is true, but you can't really call it porn. I study erotica too and I think there is a distinct difference between erotica and porn. Erotica may invoke sexual feelings, but generally in a tasteful way. Porn sometimes involves farm animals. ( :confused: ) But for the sake of this thread, lets say all sexual depictions (or nude paintings/photos) are porn. Why do people like porn? Because we appreciate the beauty of the human form. Because we are wired for sexual behavior. Because sex is why we are all here and is what drives our species to go on. That said, I agree with several earlier posts that while humans, and perhaps elves, who have a deep appreciation of appearences and beauty may have porn like things, I don't know that a species that does not view sex the same way would. For example, porn would probably not be very exciting to a cat or a dog (although, I did hear they recently showed a Panda who wouldn't mate a video of another Panda and her mate going at it...didn't work). Would this sort of thing really excite an orc ? I don't know. I tend to think that they (and other such beasties) would be more excited by violence, treasure etc. I'd expect to find a stockpile of weapons, treasures, etc at their camp; not the latest centerfold from PlayOrc. :) [/QUOTE]
