Working with erotic stuff

[JackTheNewOne]

Hello guys and girls.

I've been thinking about my job and my wish to be free from porn/fap addiction.
I'm and artist/illustrator and I frequently work with sexually suggestive arts. From just sexy to explicit stuff. I receive a lot of request for this sort of art and, if I try changing my focus/style of art, I'll loose most of my public and clients.

So how should I face it? Is it possible to keep things separated? To see it just as a job and not being influenced by these things?

I'm not an expert in art, but what I did learn in college is that the reason why painters or sculptors chose to downsize the genitals of their naked artwork is because they don't want to distract the viewers.

Fun trivia:

Small penis = Art
Huge  penis = Porn

Try to use this as a basis for your job.

PS: So guys with a small wee wee, rejoice! You're considered a work of art! :3

Yeah I've decided to give a small break from it. Though I still have some works to do with erotic thematic. So after I finish them I'll change a bit of my focus with what kind of works I accept from customers...
I wanted to avoid any sort of virtual sexual stimulation, but with these erotic arts I do it's hard to not feel the dopamine levels bumping up a little when I draw boobs, legs, etc...
Though I don't get really aroused with the arts I do as I get with arts from unknown people, it's like "my creation" so I know all the process it took to be made so I look at it with a more technical look, trying to find some flaws, etc. But it's still erotic, they're still seminude and sometimes even nude girls, and just by looking at them I already feel a bit of "reaction".

I know, it's very specific and I may be the only person here dealing with this dilemma, but I just want to put it out of my mind.  ;D
