professionals preferably foreign people since it would be a plus in my paper, and about the topic, it can either be in any aspect such as legal, religious, cultural and alike.

Nudity in art exists as far back as art does. Ancient Greeks actually created statues of phalluses10 feet, and more, tall. The nude body is also considered the most perfect image for both positive and negative grounds (foreground and background.) In pornography, of course, nudity is required to fit the definition. No nudity, no pornography.

Interviewing an art history professor at your university would give you an excellent source of information, and perhaps, some good quotes. There is a book of quotes for and by artists, so see the research librarian in the university library to find it. It has helped me often.

Legally: nudes in art rarely have legal challenges. In the past pornography has had many legal hurdles, but freedom of speech has triumphed over many of those.

Religious: many religions object to nudity even in art, but some are more forward thinking. Some religions do not take an organizational stand on nudity in art, leaving that to the individual to decide. The same is true for pornography.

Cultural: this is where the real debate about pornography occurs. Comments come from nearly every source of cultural thought. Here again, I would recommend you interview some professors on campus to get some current thinking about it. Try talking to professors in psychology, sociology, medicine (think sexually transmitted diseases,) journalism, and any other majors that will talk with you.
