This is a rather interesting thing I was thinking about.

Lets face it, not all vaginas in reality look too great, and thats okay. The human body is grotesque that way, and there is beauty in that.

But what i've noticed is that very few artists have the ability to capture the realism of sexual organs, of course when one thinks to draw an appealing set of genitals they dont take into consideration the fact that realism is not only portraying the good, but the ugly as well, and people have a sexual response to this since flaws add to the realism and realism in erotic art can add to the appeal. symmetry, cleanness and uniformity does not always work well when drawing private parts as that is not how it is in reality, since every set of junk is different in certain ways, the viewer can subconsciously pick up on this.

While im not saying every vagina or penis in a drawing must be 100% realistic or grotesque, im saying that certain ugly truths of realism work to benefit erotic art sometimes.

I'd say being able to capture the eroticism within the grotesqueness of reality and exaggerate it or stylize it would be a point where you truly are a master of your craft, because something like that, in my opinion takes a lot of skill.
