The Baddest Boy of BJP: Matt Rad Shoots 3 Loads for the Win

The magic of Bad JohnPaul is his ability to introduce a handsome, unassuming model like Matt Rad with a series of traditional male nude portraits. He suddenly shifts gear and captures the model in a series of graphic auto-erotic arousal with full erection. How far is the artist and model willing to go to push the boundary between hard core erotica and pornography?

Pioneering Erotic Photography or Peddling Un-simulated Pictures of Porn?

Argument for: It took a long time for erections to be accepted and depicted in fine art portraits thanks to the pioneering work of Mark Henderson. The depiction of sexual arousal is integral to a portrait celebrating male sexuality, but not necessarily the central focus. When viewed as a series depicting auto-erotica, can we apply the same principle that the graphic depiction of ejaculation is integral to bringing closure?

Argument against: the gratuitous capture of un-simulated sexual activity without artistic merit or context is an easily recognizable trademark of porn. The first two images easily fall into this category.

The third and last image does not show sexual activity and might have sufficient artistic merit consideration as a seminal work of art.
