Art school will "steal" his virginity.

He will have his first sex with a male friend and then publicly expose how their relationship changes.

What do you think about this?

I'd have to see it to judge whether it is "art" or not but I suspect that such an event could be a type of art.

I know some people will call it porn but I don't think so. More like a special kind of edgy theater, one show only.

Even though I enjoy modern art and theater, I wouldn't be going out of my way to attend this particular show. But I'm sure he will fill the room for ONE show.

It's as much 'art' as Tracey Emin's bed.

Well much cheaper anyway.

And that was debatable,similar to Damien Hurst pretentious crap!

I don't find the artist "hot" -- there I said it. Is it more like art if you're just not that into him?

No it's still porn whether you're into him or not. If I were to make a porn film (be VERY grateful that's never likely to happen) I'd expect to get paid for it. I certainly wouldn't do a freebie.

I still think this art project is probably not porn. The typical modern Londoner has instant (and often free) online access to XXX rated porn via computer or smart phone in whatever flavor desired. While some people might be aroused by the scene at the art gallery, some people might be aroused at all kinds of non-porn public entertainments, including other art gallery exhibits. The purpose of the show is clearly not the same as a porn show.

But is he really a virgin? Is he lying to us? How does that possibility affect our response to his "art"?

Not sure how to put this, but is he the brush or the canvas?

I'd put money on the canvas.

I wonder if he really even knows if he is gay or not? Don't buy the house til you check out the plumbing!

Oh please. Art school. It's mandatory!

He very probably does expect to be paid - or, at least, to turn a profit on his otherwise unremarkable "art" which he is selling on e-bay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Contemporary-Orginal-Art-Whoregasm-Clayton-Pettet-/251377130847 ) .

He doesn't seem overburdened with gray matter - the name "Whoregasm" is anything but original in the art world, and when he spray painted an ad for his "performance art" (and was arrested for graffiti) he forgot that next year was 2014, and wrote 2013 instead.

Maybe he'll finish his act by emulating his fellow Russian performance artist's efforts last week: http://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2013/nov/11/russian-artist-nails-testicles-red-square-cobbles-video or a Japanese artist's last year: http://digitaljournal.com/article/325480 .....

I'll bet Rembrandt never nailed his nuts to the pavement.

It's a stunt..... and as an art-form he rhymes with it.

Sheer exhibitionism, like a lot of performance art. If he does it in the name of art, he will get away with it; otherwise, if he does it in the street or inside a building accessible to the public, he'd get arrested for it.

I take it you won't be attending.

In Thailand, I could just go to certain gay bars!

I'll believe his art is good, when I see copies sold on Bangkok streets. Wait !

In Thailand, I could just go to certain gay bars!

... are they "virgins", though?

No, they know what they're doing (pretty bored about it, too, some of them). Anyway, how would you know?

If they were (and particularly if they were the canvas, not the brush), I doubt if they'd be bored!

Looks to me like a young exhibitionist found a way to make his dream legal. I wonder about the other guy.

For some reason though I have a hard time believing that someone who has never had sex wants to display his first time (during which we are insecure by definition) to the public. Therefore, I tend to agree with some posters that it is doubtful that he is a virgin. But then, people are different and maybe he is.

If he was a good looking straight guy, takeing it despite his objections, being penetrated, I'd watch that art. But this guy!? No, not art.

But theses art school people have to come up with something shocking, everything has already done by other talentless artists, so he found an alley that hadnt been exploited yet. Got to give him credit, he got publicity.

"So he found an alley that hadn't been exploited yet." obviously a virgin then.

Well, he's probably been saving himself for several months now.

How repulsive,but calling it art is ok, not for me and milions

He's not much of a looker.

Very possible,!

I know a guy, he didn't practice this 'art' for about 2 years straight, he considered himself a virgin, well, almost.

But it wouldn't last! He met this really cool Thai top guy couple of weeks ago in Pattaya, and he lost his virginity again. He said after 2 year break, it felt like first time.

But only after reading this thread did he found out he is an artist!
