    Even if a large part of what the work is communicating is sexual, there's no given that you need to find the subject sexually attractive.

    If you are photographing your subject in order to titillate the viewer, you are probably aiming to create either erotica or pornography.

    It's possible to photograph a nude / and or sexual acts, without aiming to titillate the viewer.

    In all cases, the relationship between the photographer and the subject is probably important - because the photographer is showing the viewer a specific point of view, which originated from his/her mind.

    It's possible to completely objectify / abstract the form of the human body without sexualising it.
