Pornography is one of the most controversy problems that humanity faces daily. It has materialized as a somber threat to the dignity of human sexuality and its deific purpose, perplexing the very nature of man and woman and signifying the falsification of mind in the existing age today. It has infested the purity and pureness of sex promoted dilapidation of humanity and advanced the marketization of sex, among other things. As a controversy problem, the issue of pornography requires a logical analysis and ample reaction. An scrutiny of the advantages and disadvantages of pornography is a vital concern from society today. Is there truly a true moral way to respond to the issue of pornography from an ethical perspective being fair to both sides? What really is the definition of pornography? Is pornography morally right if it brings happiness after viewing it? Or is it morally unethical because of the ramifications and the sinister fantasies that one has during viewing it?
With all the questions at hand, and so many different answers from everyone in the world today regarding pornography, I feel that quoting someone from the dark world we all have heard of seems fitting. “Although the latent desires fueled by pornography were expressed through my first murder, I do not blame pornography, but it did shape and mold my behavior to kill.”
This statement came from Ted Bundy, in his prison cell while talking to Dr. Dobson during an interview that Ted Bundy had requested. So with this in mind, I will apply the ethical theories to this subject of pornography.
Pornography has been around for many years, holding many debates on the ethicalness and if it is moral or immoral. The utilitarianism view on pornography is that it is morally
