    The Production & Consumption of Pornography

    Pornography: Production & Consumption What is the difference between an action and a porn movie? They are both something you can rent, buy , watch , they both come in the same video formats. Thus the key difference that deferentiates pornography is its content – sex. Sex is something that is absolutely normal , and actually is the main drive behind the human evolution. Human beings are aware that except for reproduction, sex is also something that brings pleasure and is one of the basic human needs. Than what defines a pornographic movie is that first of all it is a movie(its format) and second of all it has content (sex). Therefore if movies are morally accepted in the society, and sex itself is also a normal event between two(or more) human beings , combining two “moral” statements should bring us a conclusion that pornography is moral. Pornography is a product of choice. The increased demand for pornographic movies is picturing quite vividly that people choose to watch porn on their own will, and thus there is nothing immoral in it. Pornography as a job is also usually a personal choice and thus in the whole process of creating an adult movie all the parties are willingly consenting to participate , which again is not immoral because every person is entitled to the right of his or her own body.…

    Is Pornography Degrading to Women?

    Pornography serves as an instruction manual for violent sexual acts. There have been many sex crimes in the U.S. that have been linked to pornography in one way or another and it has been proposed that because of the many different acts of violence and forced sex in pornography, this is a cause and basic instruction manual on how to commit these acts of violence. Author of Against Pornography: The Evidence of Harm (S1), Diana Russell, pornography "predisposes some males to desire rape or intensifies this desire." Many others have also agreed in the point that because the violent acts committed in pornography seem to be acceptable, it may seem to some that these acts are acceptable in everyday life. If a man watching pornography sees a woman being forced to perform oral sex at gunpoint, he may perceive this as an acceptable act and proceed to commit this act of violence himself. The same is also true for younger males who are still in the experimental stages of sexual acts. If these adolescent males witness a women being tied up and raped in a pornography video or magazine, than the male, who is still curious about…

    Ethics on Pornography

    To begin with we must know what porn is. What is its history, why does it exist, what are the sub-genres? Sexual acts are as old as civilization and can be found painted on too many ancient buildings, but the concept of pornography as understood today did not exist until 1900’s. Previous to that time, though some sex acts were forbidden in laws but looking at objects or images depicting sex was not. At first pornography was art, it was shown in sculptures, pictures and many forms of art. Porn, the form of as we know, was firstly used in early 1900’s. Soon before, the world's first law criminalizing pornography was enacted by the Parliament of the United Kingdom in 1857 in the Obscene Publications Act. The Victorian era is bad days for pornography and…

    Pornography: America's New Favorite Pastime

    Pornography: America's New Favorite Pastime

    In a culture that supports the right of free choice, groups such as the Religious Alliance Against Pornography (RAAP) will have a very difficult time spreading their message and achieving their cause. RAAP is a group trying to mobilize a sexually driven culture against porn; this is an almost unobtainable task. They might have certain luck in a few individuals but ultimately they will never be able to make pornography go away. Pornography is defined by Ros Coward as acts that are sexual and is about sexual difference according to a society’s interpretations of the pornographic (Kaite, 1995). The definition of pornography given in our text states it as any written, visual, or spoken material depicting sexual activity or genital exposure that is intended to arouse the viewer (Crooks & Baur, 2005). These are textbook definitions, but adolescents of today have completely different views, most of them finding pornography an amusing subject. A definition taken from Urban Dictionary (1999-2007) says porn is “a great American pastime. Baseball lost its title when the Internet was invented.” The term “pornography” as said by Thornburgh and Lin (2002), has no well-defined meaning. Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart observed, “I can’t define it [obscenity], but I know it when I see it” (Thornburgh & Lin, 2002). Clearly, not only would this group have to work against film industries and magazine empires, but there is also the boundless amount of sexually based material on the Internet. There is also the matter of the quickly aroused male. Being a girl, I cannot confirm or deny this, but from observation men can take anything they find sexually pleasing and turn it into porn. Whether from scenes in a movie, to an advertisement billboard with a half naked woman on it, anything can be taking and made into porn, it is a matter of the person not the material. In the end I do not think that the RAAP or any group like it will ever be able to stop the flood of pornography.…

    The Controversy Surrounding The Regulation Of Pornography

    Pornography is the graphic depiction of sexuality that aims to stimulate sexual desire. It appears in several mediums, but pornographic images have inspired the bulk of discussion and research. The questions of how pornography should be defined and whether pornography should be censored, regulated, or protected as a form of free speech have historically been the biggest sources of controversy surrounding the regulation of pornography. In the United States, laws that have attempted to answer these questions as well as regulate access to pornography have changed as societal mores have evolved and the means of pornography distribution have become more pervasive. The motives behind the regulation of pornography are diverse. The most prevalent contemporary…
