Is pornography a good thing or a bad thing in society?

Question

Pornography, the depiction of sexual acts between 2 consenting adults, in private where is the harm? Sex is a God given right, yes? What makes it so bad?

Answer 1

It's good. People who can't do the things they want to do have it right there to watch.

Answer 2

Once a person views a "pornographic" act, it is no longer between two consenting adults. It is now two consenting adults and a third or maybe fourth or it is ten now. Additionally, how is it known that the act itself was between TWO consenting adults. Perhaps one of those persons was not an adult, or perhaps they were being exploited and were not truly consenting. I personally have no complaints about pornography, or voyeurism, but I also do not watch it. I have discovered (actually very early in life) that I far prefer to take part in these acts than watch someone else perform badly. So, the answer to your question from my view would be - well, ambiguous. Pornography can be good and it can be bad within society. It is the view of society and the individuals therein to ascertain the morality upon inidividual viewing and consideration.

Answer 3

I don't think it's a good or bad thing when taken in context and not turned into something that explicitly depicts acts of violence.
There are limits to what is art, what is pornography and what is simply violent and harmful.
By itself, pornography has been around since the earliest ages of man. Cave walls have been found to have obviously pornographic paintings. Early Mezzo-American culture made carvings and statues depicting exaggerated male and female genitalia.
Throughout history there has always been a fascination with the naked body and the act of sex.

Answer 4

I don't agree with your definition of pornography, you make it sound like marriage.

But, sex in pornography usually is promiscuous---not healthy. Also, it usually has actors, models, situations and etc. that aren't realistic, which can be intellectually harmful.

Moreover, sex in our society is a private affair. Pornography seems to be voyeurism and a contradiction of that value. Tho, this value is, of course, not natural: other societies, animal or human, don't keep sex private.

Answer 5

This may put people to work and thus make a positive cash flow as consumers witll rent-buy-or go see this product.So in a sense it is good.
But the mental,and some times physical harm done to the actors-actresses involed is beyond mention.
But as long as someone wishes to watch this there will be this form of entertainment.

Answer 6

Like prostitution with inequality and poverty it will inevidibly be a bad thing.

As people's consent is paradoxically force by poverty

For example many eastern europeans are often forced into the porn industry by poverty since the collapse of the USSR...

Their invovlement therefore has nothing to do with dignified consenting adults but people forced to commodify their bodies by being poor

Answer 8

There is no harm between two consenting adults. If both people are enjoying themselves I say go for it.
My theory is If you don't like it, don't look at it.

Answer 9

It's not bad, it's been around in some form or another for a very long time, you see it in ancient cultures even.

So if it's damaging, we should be damaged, but we're not.

It's just visual stimuli, nothing more.

Those who claim it's bad just want it behind even more closed doors, the well kept secret or whatnot.

But it's nor good nor bad, just a tool.

Answer 10

Agreed. It is a lot healthier than a lot of sexual related acts.
