Which is it? To some, especially of the religious bent, this image is porn, smut, a pure example of the horrors of modern decadence, an affront to God’s holy and biblical laws regarding purity. The present canditate for the governor of Virginia, Ken Cucinelli, would probably criminalize both the dissemination and the enjoyment of such a piece of utter filth. God’s holy laws demand it.

To others, such as myself, it is a delightful example of all the different nuances that exist when we try to draw boundaries between “art” and “porn”.

If this is decadence, then long live modern decadence!
