Practicing this mindset can have a life-changing effect on what you become.

In 1964, American judge Potter Stewart famously said, ‘I can’t define pornography, but I know it when I see it.’ Over 50 years later, the reverberations of these words are still being felt across the world.

But one man’s art is another woman’s erotica is another person’s sex tape.
