Why I don't consider my work Porn or Fetish

One thing I've often had to be bugged about by almost every person who's worked with me at one time or another is the idea that my work is Fetish or is Pornography.

Personally, I don't consider what I do to be either. I actually consider it art. Here's why, and if you follow my logic, then you'll probably reach the same conclusion.

Pornography is a depiction of an actual sex act. In foot fetishism there could be footjobs, foot fucking, things like that.Those are pornographic, because it includes certain understood elements of biological sexual arousal (Erect penis, nudity, nipple rubbing, masturbation etc.).

A Fetish can be a sexual attraction to a certain object of one's desire. Hair, eyes, noses, feet, blood, balloons and numerous other things can fit into this category. A fetish can also be an obsession over such things to a point that you simply must have it. The main characteristic of both of these profiles of fetishism is that it can inhibit you from functioning properly in society if it is strong enough. If you get angry enough at the idea of a person not going barefoot when taking off their shoes, you have a Fetish, one characteristic, but a glaring example of the obsessive nature that some of us in this community have indeed witnessed in others.

But, few if any of these items are inherently fetishistic or pornographic. That is secondary to their intended nature.

Likewise, my work is not initially intended to cause arousal or invoke fetishism. It's to be seen as art, and my work is artistic in its own way. Fetishism comes secondary to me actually doing the work. Am I aware it is sexual to some people? Of course. I would not have a market for this if it was not. But just as the Coca plant was not intended for use for Cocaine, does not mean it cannot be used for it.

I don't argue anymore with people concerning my opinion on this matter anymore, but feel I need to explain this once and for all. Of course we all have our beliefs on the matter, but this is mine, and it is my drive.
