Good or bad, most people who make porn have little choice. Passion and interest drive your motivation to draw, whether you like it or not, and who isn't interested in sex? It's a natural area for artists to explore and says nothing about whether they're good artists or not. It's just a subject matter like any other and is totally separate from any specific technique or skill. If you have a healthy sex drive, of course that aspect of your personality will find its way into your work. I think what trips people up is that porn is much easier to 'fake'; artists who _only_ do porn tend to stagnate in their development and there's an absolute shitload of bad pornographic art out there, more so than any other type of art, leading to a conception that porn is itself a "lesser" type of art.

I still don't know why, but many of the most prolific and influential creatives are also the biggest perverts imaginable. It's inextricable.
