For context, I am nonbinary AFAB queer asexual. I also have autism, which might be why I don’t already have the answer to this and why I felt the need to ask here.

Is it immoral or harmful to draw sexy female presenting subjects? I have been drawing pinup girls since I was a kid, and have seen countless other artists doing the same. They share their work in online spaces, some have a patreon. I want to do that too, it’s fun. But I’m conflicted about whether this is wrong. Of course I would only post in where it’s appropriate like spaces dedicated to nsfw art, or if I built my own online space, I would censor and make sure to have an advisory so people don’t just stumble onto it accidentally.

I just need to know if it’s okay. People should have a creative outlet for their more pervy fantasies. But I’ve educated myself about objectification, and have been objectified plenty of times myself. I know about the problem with art galleries having a lack of female artist representation but too many pictures of naked ladies in their galleries drawn by men which is one of the many problems that brought about the suffragette feminist movement. I keep all of this in mind but at the end of the day I still have this need to draw boobies. There was a Youtuber called sexplanations who I thought was great, she advocated for there to be a healthy outlet for sexual fantasies. I strongly agree with what she said.

I need to know that it’s okay, and not immoral, and I will never ask again. Please. Thank you for taking time to answer.

    i believe it’s completely okay as long as it’s not against your OWN morals. lots of people draw nsfw art. as long as it’s not really weird or promoting anything gross (which it isn’t), it’s completely okay!!

    art is a form of expression, and if you want to express sexual fantasies, go for it! some people will get mad at art depicting 18+ content (murder, violence, sex) but it’s a form of expression, honestly.

    also, my gf makes comics sometimes and plans to possibly draw nsfw as a woman drawing other women.

    right-wingers and christians certainly will find it immoral, but as a queer person, i think this is okay
