Preferred term

legal and political perspectives on pornography  

Definition

  • Written descriptions, still images, and film representations of sexual activity designed to incite erotic emotions and behaviors in persons are generally considered pornography. Many additional social and subjective elements factor into the real-world manifestations of pornography, however, rendering it considerably more complex than this basic definition suggests.
