Sex sells... do I honestly want to be part of that?

As I drew an image of Ring Leader expanded, it occurred to me that I had no reasoning behind it. No plot, no setting, no witty words to go with it. I despised it.
I intend to avoid such works as much as possible. I did not start to draw for the most carnal of pleasure. I drew because I myself had ideas, thoughts, settings, stories to unfold through my imagery. No, I'm not the best artist, I feel guilt for even calling myself one to begin with. My drawings are nothing original. but they're my drawings none the less, achievements that I hold dear. I want to look back upon them, proud to say "Yeah, they're smut. But they're mine!"
Strangely enough, Doug Winger is one of my all time favorite artists because, nearly every piece of work he produced had a witty little line at the bottom. It presented class to clash with the images of pure sexual furry essence.
What's your feelings? Do you feel it's okay to draw porn simply because? Have you ever just felt like "there's enough of THAT floating around in the internet, let's shake it up a bit!"

It's always good to try something different with your art, whether it be normal or not. You're looking for some sort of ORIGINALITY. Something people would compliment on. I mean, once in a blue moon, you can draw some pure smut. But really, there's better directions to go then just down that porn filled road.
Just remember that porn/hentai would ALWAYS be around. Sometimes, you just gotta break out of that and try something different.
...Sorry. Personal trauma. XD
