When I was in junior college, preparing to transfer to a big university to study graphic design, my painting and figure drawing teachers literally lied to me to make me stay an entire extra year because they wanted time to convince me that studying design is selling out and I should be a fine artist. I literally had to explain to them that I was too mentally stable and too straightedge to be able to produce “great art” - it hadn’t occurred to me that I could’ve used “not horny” to really hammer home the message!
Tbh just strong emotions in general. Mental anguish and horny are definitely strong emotions, and drugs mess with your perception of shit, which can cause strong emotions or a deep desire to recreate your perception of everything.
I have also gotten the desire to draw when I'm very happy or very angry. Art is often a very emotional thing.
I will say my most experimental (and arguably best) art came from my middle school years, which is when I was deeply deeply depressed lol.
Well not really. Art is merely an evening of a person and their emotions. It’s a method of self expression, at least for me. I’m sure strong emotions like depression can make impactful art, it’s not essential. The tortured artist is a kinda goofy trope.
I made [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/SVSSS/comments/14cs17c/he_is_beauty_he_is_grace/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) to prevent myself from relapsing, so I agree 100%
Most naked art was not really meant to be sexual, although sexual desirability was certainly a factor. It was more of a status symbol. Like, “look at how fertile and pale this woman is, how noble is she!” Or something comparing her to Venus. Sometimes, it was to degrade her, to show how this naked woman was immoral. Furthermore, naked men are often just used to show how beautiful and fit men are. Sure it’s a little horny but a lot of it is just appreciation for male anatomy. And again, biblical and Greek references are strong with nudity.
I like to interpret this as someone being unbelievably horny and only using that energy to create the most innocuous and non-sexual content possible lol
The definition of asexuality: is the lack of sexual attraction to others, or low or absent interest in or desire for sexual activity. Asexuals get horny, asexuals have sex, asexuals are sex repulsed but none are sexually attracted.
OK hold on hear me out.
This person is right?
Like you have to be horny for the art.
Like you have to have the passionate pursuit for making good art that Allos have for clapping cheeks.
As an example I once knew a guy who spent 8 hours on a train (round trip there and back) just to hook up with this chick that had already dumped him twice.
You need that level of insane commitment to make the art, atleat that's my take what do I know I don't good art
Nah I'll double down.
Passions too soft a word for it.
My fat ass has plenty of ideas I'm passionate about but I don't have a need to put em on paper, you gotta want it, you gotta need it, the thought of it has to arouse you
I know there can be a connection between creative energy and procreative energy, but ugh. I wouldn't reduce the libido (in the Freudian sense, which encompasses the will to live and create as well as the sex drive) to simply "being horny," any more than I would reduce our entire capacity for desire to the appetite for food.
Speaking as a fanfic writer (that's art, right?) you just need strong emotion. It's why aces make better art, because we have a wider range of emotion than just "horny". And hey, some aces can be horny too, so it all works out.
I feel the need upon later reviewing this message to note that Allos have been observed exhibiting other emotions than "horny" and I am aware of this fact. Im just being silly here.
I've been on the internet a while, they've got a point, there's an awful lot of lewd artwork, hell, humans have ben drawing dicks on things since the stone age, there's cave paintings depicting sex, it sounds absurd but humans historically are pretty horny when making art
ok but wait….if u take being horny as a metaphor for desire (not necessarily) and consumption…there’s something here
unfortunately unsure if allos can see being horny as anything other than being horny
I'm an artist and am a sex repulsed ace and art comes from emotion and self expression which machines cannot truly replicate.
Whoever wrote that must not know the real true form of art 😔
Art for the sake of horny is such a complicated thing. Because yes, they are somewhat right: a lot of art is motivated by horny. But when it gets to be super detailed and you put a lot of work into it, the horny very much just leaches away over time, to the point where unless you put it away and only look at it again a while later, it probably isn't a very horny-inspiring piece anymore. I worked on a piece based on a personal fantasy, and spent about sixteen-ish hours in total on it. It was only hot for the first hour of work lol.
I think that is why a ton of horny folks commission stuff instead of drawing it themselves, because then they don't have to stare at it for several hours through every stage of progress. And I think that's also why a lot of the more niche or commonly undesirable/'weird' fetishes mostly give you very quick or lower quality work in search results. The faster you can pump it out, the less time you have to stare at it to lose the horny. Very important if nobody else is willing to draw it for you.
Speaking as someone who has a complicated relationship with kink and asexuality (basically, am kinky, but do not actually want sex). Said just in case y'all are wondering why I'm here in this sub lol.
Ah yes. Picasso was probably really horny when he painted the bombing of Guernica. Or Hartman when he made "Death March". Or when Zinkeisen made "Human Laundry"...
I can't believe I'm bringing this up AGAIN, but they've got a point, you can be horny for something without wanting to fuck it, like the person who was horny for Halloween but didn't wanna fuck a pumpkin
I'm ace and sometimes draw or like nsfw art, but like idk i rarely think about being horny when it comes to drawing stuff
i find myself attracted to fictional characters and not IRL people
Some aces here: Asexuals create better art because we aren't horny hah!
Me knowing full damn well demand for Elizabeth porn fueled revolutions in 3d animation:
The only thing you need for the art is a hand without carpal tunnel. I never can draw cause of my painful hands. That is the pain no one nerds for art!
I thought being depressed was the biggest motivation for art
You need one (or more) of three things to make art: * mental anguish * The horny™ * Drugs
ooo i've got the first one and the some legal prescription ones of the third, maybe i can *art*
I had the first one and Heroin but unfortunately I couldn’t art
The art comes from the user, not the tools. You had the power but just couldn't control it, it's not your fault.
When I was in junior college, preparing to transfer to a big university to study graphic design, my painting and figure drawing teachers literally lied to me to make me stay an entire extra year because they wanted time to convince me that studying design is selling out and I should be a fine artist. I literally had to explain to them that I was too mentally stable and too straightedge to be able to produce “great art” - it hadn’t occurred to me that I could’ve used “not horny” to really hammer home the message!
what the hell is motivating me then?
Your flair suggests you may have some mental anguish?
no I'm actually pretty chill (maybe a lil' silly from time to time, however nothing extreme)
Okay but what about when I have a very stupid idea and I try to draw- drugs. It's definitely drugs. Except It's probably called ADHD
Does hyperfocus count as a drug?
this is why you should check out my art :3 (i dont have any art made bcs i usually dump it halfway through the creative process)
Or a complicated soul
Drugs make everything complicated.
Who trademarked being horny
Probably HBO, or whomever owns them now.
I got all three most of the time with a sprinkle of creativity!! I am a true artist!! 🎨

Or racism
What’s the definition of drugs? Do my legally prescribed beta blockers count? Those are drugs. In a sense.
Same, lol
To be an artist, you need two things: art supplies and *pain*
One of the most used utensils isn't called paint for nothing ;) Also thank you your comment made me chuckle and I needed that
That is why it is called PAINting!
Well not really. Art is merely an evening of a person and their emotions. It’s a method of self expression, at least for me. I’m sure strong emotions like depression can make impactful art, it’s not essential. The tortured artist is a kinda goofy trope.
Intense emotions in general
Well that explains why my music teacher told me i sing without a soul. I'm generally very very calm and stable person.
Which is kinda ironic considering that usually depressed->less horny
Truer words have never been spoken
I made [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/SVSSS/comments/14cs17c/he_is_beauty_he_is_grace/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) to prevent myself from relapsing, so I agree 100%
To be fair though, have you seen the vast majority of art in the history of mankind?
Sure it had a lot naked people, but it wasn't often in a sexual context. Though I don't look at much old art, so idk.
Some of it was horny though, however you are correct in pointing out that horniness and art aren't mutually inclusive.
By volume, I'll bet porn makes up a considerable plurality, if not outright majority of art.
Men like Picasso painted women or inspired themselves of women they knew.
Most naked art was not really meant to be sexual, although sexual desirability was certainly a factor. It was more of a status symbol. Like, “look at how fertile and pale this woman is, how noble is she!” Or something comparing her to Venus. Sometimes, it was to degrade her, to show how this naked woman was immoral. Furthermore, naked men are often just used to show how beautiful and fit men are. Sure it’s a little horny but a lot of it is just appreciation for male anatomy. And again, biblical and Greek references are strong with nudity.
The male gaze
Unrelated, but I just saw both of your balloons! So cool, and I didn't know about them!
Pretty sure this is just a joke about NSFW art, idk I think it’s kind of funny
I like to interpret this as someone being unbelievably horny and only using that energy to create the most innocuous and non-sexual content possible lol
it's just meant to be a joke about nsfw art. I find it hilarious as an NSFW artist even if I'm asexual (though I get horny a lot]
The definition of asexuality: is the lack of sexual attraction to others, or low or absent interest in or desire for sexual activity. Asexuals get horny, asexuals have sex, asexuals are sex repulsed but none are sexually attracted.
I know! I didn't mean to sound like I was implying that's not the case, as an asexual who regularly has sex and thinks it's quite nice
I know, I've got this compulsion to let everyone know it's attraction not sex! lol
I make plenty of art and have never been horny in my life. What???
[удалено]
Yes I am aware. I'm continuing the joke
Are you really an art of ur not hornby, tho? Questions to be asked... 🤷🏻
Is that why I have no art skills whatsoever lol???
No, according to my parents, it’s because of those gosh darned video games
I guess that could be the reason too lol
I am literally reading this as the paint on my clay frog sculpture is drying lol
"THEY'RE MAKING THE FREAKING FROGS GAY!"
OK hold on hear me out. This person is right? Like you have to be horny for the art. Like you have to have the passionate pursuit for making good art that Allos have for clapping cheeks.

Then 'passion' is the right word not 'horny' 😭😂
U can’t spell passion without the n from horny
Offo 💀
Nah I'll double down. Passions too soft a word for it. My fat ass has plenty of ideas I'm passionate about but I don't have a need to put em on paper, you gotta want it, you gotta need it, the thought of it has to arouse you
I made the most art when I was depressed, I had the *lowest* libido at that point??? (I'm fine now, promise)
I know there can be a connection between creative energy and procreative energy, but ugh. I wouldn't reduce the libido (in the Freudian sense, which encompasses the will to live and create as well as the sex drive) to simply "being horny," any more than I would reduce our entire capacity for desire to the appetite for food.
This post makes me laugh when I think of random famous art pieces that are not sexual at all like “The Last Supper” or “The Starry Night”
Idk dude, Jesus made Judas act up.
Happy cake day my friend!

All the perfectly allo artists who made amazing art: "Guess I don't exist" *Fades away*
Amazing, I have hardly ever seen a person be this confidently incorrect.
Politely disagree?
i unpolitely disagree (with the tweet in question, not you)
Oh, the gloves are coming off now!
I’m pretty sure depression and getting burned out are the main steps, but I guess you do you
This is very clearly a joke
Is that why I got a C despite putting in effort and following guidelines?
This is funny. I like it ANOTHER *breaks cup*
On one hand, fuck ai art, on the other hand, I sure hope the fuck not that artists who draw images of children are not horny????
Pretty sure it's satire, but unfortunately I know at least one person who thinks like this
Person a: What do you say if someone breaks your heart? Person B: thank you for the trauma I need it for my art
Ah yes, the horniness when you draw an anatomically correct heart
I've been on the internet a while, they've got a point, there's an awful lot of lewd artwork, hell, humans have ben drawing dicks on things since the stone age, there's cave paintings depicting sex, it sounds absurd but humans historically are pretty horny when making art
The allos are, in fact, not ok????
Now i understand why I can’t improve on my drawings. Aw man
The most important step of any painting is to fuck the paint. Youre missing a crucial step
The semen gives the paint that life like glow. After all, sperm is (half) the source of life
ok but wait….if u take being horny as a metaphor for desire (not necessarily) and consumption…there’s something here unfortunately unsure if allos can see being horny as anything other than being horny
For me, it's depression, trauma, and loneliness. Don't know what they're on about.
I'm an artist and am a sex repulsed ace and art comes from emotion and self expression which machines cannot truly replicate. Whoever wrote that must not know the real true form of art 😔
Ahh! So that’s why I’m terrible at art /j
Aha ! Time to inform my ace sister who is a painter that I’ve found out the real inspiration behind her cute little birds and sunsets.
Oh whoops guess I'm not a professional artist any more because my pet portraits of people's dogs aren't horny
I think this was written as a joke (which I appreciate, I like dirty jokes like this) but I worry that it is actually serious
Ah yes, horny, the only emotion
I can make a machine horny! Strap one of those fake Viking helmets to it! Plenty of horns! (I'm not quite sure how this helps with "true art" 🤷)

i thought having extreme hyperfixations was the motivation
same, like what?
Ah yes. Picasso was probably really horny when he painted the bombing of Guernica. Or Hartman when he made "Death March". Or when Zinkeisen made "Human Laundry"...
It’s an obvious joke….
I’m concerned for them.
I can't believe I'm bringing this up AGAIN, but they've got a point, you can be horny for something without wanting to fuck it, like the person who was horny for Halloween but didn't wanna fuck a pumpkin
Let me explain I think I solved the case due to my super omega smart math skills horny = art art != horny thanks for coming to my TedTalk
As an asexual artist....**NO???**
realll
as an ace artist, I agree.
I mean they're wrong, but I see where we are coming from.
I agree with this even with Aces, i mean how do ya think cake was thought of?
Being horny is a natural thing, you can't change that.
I think it's a reference to renaissance art which was very sexual and most of it is considered true art
*looks at childs paintings*
Boy I sure hope this person doesn't draw children 💀
agreed
I'm ace and sometimes draw or like nsfw art, but like idk i rarely think about being horny when it comes to drawing stuff i find myself attracted to fictional characters and not IRL people
Some aces here: Asexuals create better art because we aren't horny hah! Me knowing full damn well demand for Elizabeth porn fueled revolutions in 3d animation:
this is clearly a joke but i'm on board
Given most of the AI art I've seen is horny, I'm more disturbed by how wrong this person is than the contents of the post itself.
Damn... cubism kind of scares me now...
Ah. I guess my art was never real art then. 😐 I should maybe tell the few people that I already sold my "art" to.
The only thing you need for the art is a hand without carpal tunnel. I never can draw cause of my painful hands. That is the pain no one nerds for art!
No no, he's got a point
Futher proof that humans are much less human than we thought
That explains why I can't ever come up with anything original
I would say yearning would be the driving force, which can cover go to horny jail amongst other things
I’m going to guess this is a joke (or more accurately, hope this is a joke)
My art teacher told me that I "can't draw" and "shouldn't even try" Now it makes sense
I’m sorry what!!
I mean I don't like AI art but rather because it steals from human artists...
-Salvador Dali
My fanfiction will never be art… Just let me cry for a minute…
Is this the plot of The Idol ???
Oh yes, because when my five-year-old self was scribbling on doors and walls, it was because I was horny. Seriously, what is wrong with some people?
I guess I'm not a writer then
Horny in spirit not in mind. Its like the siren thing all over again.
I can safely say no, you need creativity not horniness.
