Did the title attract you? Sure it did! Its one of the most
attractive titles. (Like- LSD, The dirty Picture, American Pie, etc) Guarantees immediate attention. But, by
contrast, when I was researching on subjects to include in the blog, only one
person suggested this topic.
‘Eww’, ‘shiee’, ‘I cant believe he is writing about this!’. Yeah,
yeah, go ahead. Jump all you like, you cant deny that you want to read about
it.
Most people, don’t even know what pornography is! (If you
know, stop smirking.) Commonly known as “BP” (Blue Porn), it is the depiction
of sex. Not the actual act. So live sex shows and prostitution is not porn. The
filming of it is. Pornography may use a variety of media, including books, magazines, postcards,
photos, sculpture, drawing, painting, animation, sound recording, film, video, and video games. e term
applies to the depiction of the act rather than the act itself, and so does not
include live exhibitions like sex
shows and striptease. Pornography is often distinguished from erotica, which
consists in the portrayal of sexuality with high-art aspirations, focusing also
on feelings and emotions, while pornography involves the depiction of acts in a
sensational manner, with the entire focus on the physical act, so as to arouse
quick intense reactions
Porn is divided into two main types. Hardcore and softcore.
Hardcore explicitly shows “everything”, while softcore remains suggestive.
Depictions of a sexual nature are as old as civilization
with depictions such as the venus figurines and
rock art existing
since prehistoric times.[7] But the
concept of pornography as understood today did not exist until the Victorian era.
Now, how about some interesting facts?
- 47% boys and 29% girls visit porn sites and talk about it in school.
- One out of five mobiles have adult content.
- 3% boys and 17% girls have never seen porn.
- The average age at which a child is introduced to porn is 11.
- 35% downloads are pornographic in nature.
Still, sex is considered as a taboo subject in our culture.
Cant speak openly about it without drawing some furtive glances from people
around us. And, don’t be mistaken. I’m not encouraging you to watch porn and
discuss what you saw. (Ooh, this position looks good). Its illegal to watch
porn in india if you are underage. But you still do. Sometimes. When there’s no
one home. Your hand hovers towards the mouse and the URL of your favourite
website comes to your mind....
