Can we talk about sex without being vulgar? Can you show an erection without being insulted and targeted by fake respectable people? The answer is yes, in fact the answer is Ceci N’est Pas Un Porno. 

Behind this name hides an illustrator who, through simple drawings, tackles the theme of sexuality and eroticism in an ironic, almost light-hearted way. 

A couple of years ago the artist ended up at the centre of some controversy after announcing an exhibition in Milan – later cancelled – entitled “Porno per bambini“. 

The advice is to leave aside all the prejudices you may have and understand, looking at his illustrations, that children’s porn is actually about them, but not because it is addressed to them, but rather because the theme is treated with that lightness and innocence typical of young age. 

Funny, irreverent and absolutely original, the images we find on the Instagram profile Ceci N’est Pas Un Porno certainly make you smile and above all make you understand that sometimes the problem is not in the chosen theme, but in how it is treated.
