Is a naked womans body itself "pornographic"?

If not, at what point does it become so? If at all

    Pornography usually implies that there is a sexual act being commited, but if they are just changing and you spot them, that is not porn

    Nudity is not pornographic in and of itself...it's simply a human body without clothes. It can be made pornographic by various exploitation techniques designed to highlight the lustful acpects of nudity...such as "spread shots", "pink shots", etc.

    Remember that pornography comes from the Greek words meaning "the writings of whores", so in order for something to be pornographic it must be designed to excite prurient interests or feelings in others.

    I love to be naked indoors or outside, alone or with others, and spend many days each summer at the nude beach near my home, swimming naked in friends' pools or just lying naked in the sun on my parents' deck (as long as they're not around - LOL...). Even though I'm naked in these situations, there's nothing pornographic about it, since my behavior and appearance is not designed to elicit a lustful response from others. I'm simply a young woman without clothes in an appropriate situation where nudity is OK...or should be, at any rate.

    If the people who see me naked generate lustful thoughts on their own, that's not something I'm responsible for. Some people can generate lustful thoughts in the vegetable section of a supermarket, after all!

    Interesting question...hope you get a number of thoughtful answers.

    Bare hugs...

    Just a naked body is not pornographic. A body is a natural thing that nobody should be ashamed about.

    Being nude becomes pornographic when you pose in seductive or enticing positions. Don't intentionally show any of your "goodies" and you won't be pornographic.
