The Pros And Cons Of Pornography

The Naturalist believes that individuals who are unable to control their sexual urges commit most sexual crimes. Pornography is beneficial to the individual and the society. It promotes sex education and reduces sexual crimes. The naturalist believe the Jehovanist are fact dominating. There are various stem originating from naturalism and some of which includes Secularization, this is when the jehovanist loose their spiritual and social confidence not knowing that sex has no basis. Materialization deals with the Naturalist having a good look at themselves and realizing that sex has no metaphysic (No connection with the spiritual). They identify the mind, self and the body and acknowledge that sex is nothing more than a physical behavior. The Biologist takes a different approaching by accepting the human behavior as synonymous to that of an animal. As they say be like water as nothing is as essential as it.

Good sex is considered to be legal and healthy, whereas bad sex is criminalized and dangerous. In contrast to MacKinnon’s view on pornography, Rubin argues that pornography is a means of sexual exploration and can be liberating. Sexual activities are a means through which sexuality can be explored. Rubin argues that anti-pornography movements exaggerate the dangers of pornography as destructive and negative. Anti-pornography movements depict pornography as harmful and degrading to women, but this in itself is harmful for it does not account for consensual and desired sexual activities. Through classifying sexual activities, such as BDSM and sex work, as good and bad, the state effectively limits sexual exploration to certain acceptable societal norms. This is further illustrated through R v. Price, in which the judge ruled that there was no evidence that BDSM videos cause harm (Lecture Slides: February 9). Conforming to cultural norms subsequently ensures that the patriarchal system of sexual value, in which MacKinnon argued is male dominated, is adhered to. Even though pornography can perpetuate sexual objectification, the oppression of sexual desire by the state limits any form of positive sexual exploration. The state and law should not penalize possibilities for positive sexual experiences because of social stigmas. The disapproval of society and the state of particular sexual

So, if porn can help men for releasing their sexual needs, why it cannot help women?’ (Kathy, 22-year-old, from Macau). ‘I sometimes think that watching porn is fun because I viewed it as some sort of comedy when I am watching it together with my friends’ (Betty, 22-year-old, from Heilongjiang Province). Also, all of them expressed that pornography, in general, are not always a form of exploitation to women because it can make it with consent. According to Kathy, ‘I personally think that pornography is not necessarily a form of exploitation to women, although there are a lot of deeply rooted images or traditional notions in our society that always shaped some people’s beliefs on women as inferior to men. But think differently, gender equality is increasingly promoted nowadays, so if men can watch porn, why women cannot?’. Another participant further claimed that 'pornography can be made it with consent because no one can force you (women) to do it. It is just like many actresses who are willing to film for a pornographic film for becoming famous, in turn achieving higher social status. I think for those women who want to achieve higher social status, they are consented to take part in the porn industry by themselves’ (Josephine, 23-year-old, from Hong Kong).

In class we discussed pornography and how it can either be seen as moral or immoral. In the book Exploring Ethics by Steven M. Cahn, Helen E. Longino wrote chapter thirty-eight titled Pornography, Oppression, and Freedom. Longino believes that pornography is immoral and that it causes more harm than good in society. She believes that pornography singles out woman and is defamatory, violent, and should be regulated. My argument is against Longino, if porn is restricted several movies would be deemed immoral because of nudity. The connection between violence against women and pornography would not change or even increase if restrictions apply. No one should be forced into pornography, but the option should be available without regulation.

The pornography debate has been an issue within the feminist movement that has been pushed to the periphery in recent times. It is not as widely seen on the main stage of the feminist agenda and this may be because of a division in feminist thought with regards to pornography. Generally speaking, there are “pro-sex” feminists who believe that women have the right to do what they wish with their bodies and there are “pro-censorship” feminists who believe pornography is inherently degrading and violent towards women. In this paper I am going to discuss the views and opinions held by each faction of the pornography debate and I will discuss the pros and cons of each view and discuss how every day women (i.e. not scholars/academics) feel about pornography.

Humanity has struggled with determining the best option to solve their ethical dilemmas that they run into in their life. Analyzing and determining the best option to take can leave an individual lost in faith and building a relationship with God. Building a God foundation in your life will help you in every ethical dilemma that you face. The only way to solve an ethical dilemma with viewing pornography is to view the dilemma according to a Christian worldview and compare different options to solve the ethical dilemma.

Topics such as pornography and the legal prostitution of people has been somewhat of a hot topic within the people who are creating laws, as well as the society as a whole. Some will look at both of these things and see them as a means to economic advantage for their state. Some will see both of these things as morally wrong in and of themselves and have not right to be legalized in anyway. Even to the point where people will say that pornography intrudes on the rights of some others, and should not be considered in freedom of expression and of speech. These people will dispute any anti-porn claim by declaring that it is a person’s right to view porn, and it is not affecting anyone negatively. I would argue that porn is not only negatively affecting individuals, but also affecting others in society, and society as a whole.

As a teenager, I attended an all-girls school and had minimal contact with boys. For this reason, pornography became an educational resource for learning about men and sex, to compensate for what I perceived as a disadvantage of lacking experience. As everyone knows, porn can be found online within minutes, and while the porn I watched as an adolescent was vulgar and unreliable, it was intriguing. Still, I couldn't understand how any self-respecting woman could allow herself to be used and abused, like a sex object, for male pleasure. It was one thing to enjoy sex, but this was a performance. Besides the money, what did they really gain from it? This was the beginning of my struggle accepting pornography. In theory, porn seems to have the potential to be incredibly powerful and lucrative, but my troubles with porn come from the realities of porn as a practice; issues such as unfair compensation, demeaning acts, and immense stigma plague the mainstream pornography industry. Still, I've never considered myself anti-porn or pro-censorship. The reason I chose to take this class is because, while I've heard a great deal about the positives and negatives of pornography, I have no factual evidence to support any of my beliefs or opinions. I see this course as the opportunity to seek the truth so that I might develop a position that I can confidently uphold and defend. While there are several interesting aspects of pornography, in this reflection I will be discussing my opinion of pornography as it relates to two highly prevalent issues, violence against women and addiction, as these are a few topics that particularly captured my attention in my readings.

Pornography can be any form of media digital or print that stimulates sexual arousal in a person. This media often features, but is not limited to nude men and or women performing sexual acts. There have been mixed feelings about the concept of pornography all throughout history.

Spreading immorality? Ruining relationships? Perpetuating sexism and increasing crime rate? On top of any religious objections, pornography has always been a very controversial subject, an issue with various opinions and also blatant facts.

Unfair constrictions and regulations exist to destroy womanhood in an attempt to better manhood as if the two can’t correlate beneficially together. Condemning a woman’s sexuality as being taboo and placing pornography in the hands of only men, is preposterous. In a society with such restrictions, sex-positive feminists advocate for an outlet that allows women to investigate their own sexual desires and preferences without the nuisance of societal expectations. Pornography grants women a world in which empowerment and sexual liberation are accepted freely. Fantasies can be explored and discovered

The term pornography refers to any written, visual, or spoken material containing the explicit description or display of sexual organs or activity, intended to stimulate erotic rather than aesthetic or emotional feelings. Pornography is a way of creating a bedroom fantasy to groups of people. They can help or harm a relationship that you have with your significant other. Many times porn is a stress reliever to some people. People find porn as a way to enhance their sexual experiences. But in finding people tend to say that pornography is harmful and helpful. It is depending on the relationship, influence, and self-esteem inside of a person.
