Forums → WEPR → Should Pornography Be Illegal?

1. Sexually explicit pictures, writing, or other material whose primary purpose is to cause sexual arousal.

3. Lurid or sensational material

I do like the purpose being included in the definition, but I'm not sure it can be used in an objective sense. Can't something be pornographic if it's purpose is not arousal?

It seems that the inclusion of writing and other forms of media conflict with the -graphy part of the word.

Dictionary quote time?

printed or visual material containing the explicit description or display of sexual organs or activity, intended to stimulate erotic rather than aesthetic or emotional feelings.

i'll stop trying, since the forum deemed I am not worthy enough to post links or images (or the fact that i am a forum tard)

As much as I believe pornography should be illegal, I don't want it to be because the industry is worth something like fifteen billion dollars. That's a lot of tax money our wonderful government can put towards a good use (sarcasm).

As much as I believe pornography should be illegal,

It should never be made illegal. I mean, if it was made illegal, do you know how many angry teenagers there would be roaming the streets, demanding free porn?

It's scary to think about.

I agree with komputerkurt. It would be too hard and not worthwhile to do!

Pornography IS legal. You just have to be a certain age in order to view it.

You're probably wondering why you cant look at it at a younger age... say 12 >.>;

That's because those under 18 are usually still going through hormone changes and are dealing with social interaction with the opposite gender (or same, if that's your thing).
Its not the government trying to be unfair and keep the "cool" things from the kids. Its about Maturity. Can you handle it? Will you go running off trying to do the same thing with all the girls you see? Is it real?

Give a kid a puzzle, he'll try to solve it.
Give a kid a swing set, he'll try to play on it.
Give a kid beer, he'll try to drink it
Give a kid a gun, he'll try to shoot someone.
Give a kid pornography, he'll try to have sex with someone.


Get it yet?

Yes it should be.
Just like alchool in the '20s.
We already know how it turned out.

The first four things on your list are much easier to accomplish than the fifth one. The fifth one requires someone else, meaning it will probably end up in rejection.

Why-y-y?

Why people don't read all the post?
I was being sarcastic.
