I can admit that when I read the title of the Cocaleca 'Soft Porn' photo series I was expecting something slightly different than what I saw.
The Cocaleca 'Soft Porn' photo series is a set of pictures that features its subject behind an empty picture frame, getting freaky with fruit. Bananas, apples, grapes and other types fruit take their turn being licked, bitten, sucked and all other types of fun stuff.
Implications - Sexual inneundo aside, the images in the Cocaleca 'Soft Porn' photo series are hilarious and original. They also deftly straddle the line between cheap sexual pandering and artistic sensuality to provoke. Now that's what I call edgy.
