Nudity shows the human body in it's natural state. Now if somebody draws a picture of a a woman sprawled across a bed and is all sweaty and naked that is what I would consider pornography. In order to be porn it has to be sexual. You can see it in the face expression or the posture. You should be able to tell the difference fairly easily.

What if the woman is in that position because the artist wanted to make some kind of statement? What if there are goldfish flying through the air around her and the walls are melting, revealing a surrealist landscape? Wouldn't it be art then?
I think the line between art and pornography is very thin and hard to define. In my opinion, if something was made to arouse people and
only to arouse people, without adding any new ideas, statements, or images, it's porn.
