We're not entirely sure a discussion of Larry Clark's "Teenage Lust" belongs in the context of a porn blog, but the truth is that his 1982 collection of photographs of teens gone wild has had a huge influence on nearly every aspect of the youth-obsessed visual culture of the past quarter century—porn included—not to mention an affinity with other artists who walk that fine line between art and exploitation, such as Bruce La Bruce and Terry Richardson. (Besides, our party-crashing elder sibling Gawker made us post something about it here, and who are we to argue?)
