Pornography

Paper Summary:

This paper argues that society should ban pornography from public distribution via hard copy or electronic means. It states that pornography has the potential to demoralize women, cause marital separation, psychologically influence children, and project sex as promiscuously OK. The paper defines pornography and then discusses how it has become so wide-spread.

From the Paper:

"Eroticism needs to be separated from the category of pornography in that it doesn't depict any one character within the material sexually or otherwise emotional enjoying dominance over the other character(s). An erotic material may show genitalia of all sorts of the human anatomy, but may not be used to represent an object of exploitation. Erotic materials may be in the form of animations, still pictures, audio, or video format, where all objects are defined of being over the age of 18, during the commencement of recording. Erotic materials will be void of any foul, or derogatory language, as well as having the absence of any and all violence towards another object within the material while engaged in sexual acts. If such material presents an overwhelming example of artistic expression, and depicts such acts within the erotic material as educational, such material will be deemed legal and erotic."
