Do you know pornography when you see it?

Question

"I can't define pornography, but I know it when I see it."--Justice Potter Stewart.

Answer 1

This is an interesting question, as I believe "pornography" is defined differently, depending on our particular morals, judgements, etc. For example, I find beauty in artwork that involves the nude human form. I wouldn't call this pornographic. However, there are others that would.

So, to answer your question, I do know it when I see it...but it's only MY judgement call. I wouldn't presume to tell someone else what is, and what isn't, based on my opinion.

Answer 2

"Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder". It all depends on your surroundings.

If u lived in an African tribe, being naked would not be porn for u. But living in a city being naked is 100% porn.

So that is why potter said I know it when I see it, because when he saw anything which according to his culture and experience = porn, he declares it to be porn otherwise not.

Answer 3

When I'm surfing the net and come across a gal with a big root up her tailpipe, I have to say that's definitely porn.

Answer 4

Yeah ever one knows when they see it. I personally despise the stuff. Its addictive(not to go on a rampage about how horrible it is but someone has to know) Its so addictive you don't even know its addictive. and thats sad.

Answer 5

Yes, though it all lies in interpretation. For example, I view striptease as pornographic but burlesque as art. They're both just **** and *** but burlesque is classy **** and ***.

Answer 6

Oh yeah. I see it everyday.

Answer 7

I think the only people who wouldn't know porn when they saw it are blind ppl....
