WHAT IS PORNOGRAPHY?
Pornography is “the depiction of erotic behavior (as in pictures or writing) intended to cause sexual excitement”. (Merriam Webster) The porn industry exists primarily online. Because porn is accessible online, it is much easier for people to develop a habit or dependency on pornography and keep it hidden from those around them. Instead of needing to hide videos or magazines, everything is online and can be erased from search histories. This has created a new kind of porn culture that pervades our society. |
