Pornography
From BeastWiki
Pornography is the explicit representation of naked human bodies to stimulate sexual arousal. Pornography is similar to erotica in the sense that they both show naked bodies, but sexual portrayals in erotica are only used for artistic purposes only. Pornographic materials are often more graphic than erotica because pornography not only shows naked bodies but also explicit sexual activities as well.
Pornography may used different media for its distribution. Photos, sculptures, drawing, paintings, animations, graphics and videos are used to circulate pornographic materials. With the emergence of modern technologies, circulation of materials have been easier. Video tapes, DVD's, and the Internet are all used today as the most effective and efficient ways of distributing pornographic materials.
Pornography is also called porn or porno in street slang terms.
[edit] Extreme pornography
This refers to pornographic materials concentrating on extreme taboos and sensitive issues. Extreme pornography often features acts of violence and aggression. Necrophilia and bestiality is also under this category.
[edit] Legal status
Laws governing pornography varies from every country. Each country has their own set of rules and regulation regarding the issue. Some countries allow at least some amount of pornography as long as it is regulated. Japan for example allows pornography provided that the actual penetration is not shown. Child pornography is strictly illegal in almost all countries. Pornography featuring animals and violence is also illegal in most countries.
