Pornography is a way to express sexuality. Some people who are shy, unattractive, or physically disabled can gain self-esteem from pornography. However, pornography is not a mere expression of sexuality. It is rather related to prostitution, vulgarity and illegality. Therefore, my viewpoint is that pornography is morally objectionable.
First of all, pornography is nearly another expression of prostitution. If we hear the word ‘pornography’ is shorted loudly in public, we will definitely have a bad impression of this person. The reason is that most people do not consider pornography as a good thing. Moreover, prostitution rather equalizes pornography, and the nature of prostitution is one winning, one losing, one gaining, one suffering, it is not absolutely accepted by people. For prostitution, males gain their sexual desires whereas females become victims. Even females are treated as objects, males give them money, and they serve males. Therefore, most countries in the world do ban prostitution which is a component of pornography.
Besides prostitution, the direct way, pornography films and pictures are indirect but harmful as well. These films can be sold by CD or Internet online-watching. Many countries do not allow pornography films selling such as China. Once CD-makers and sellers are caught, all porn films they have will be expropriated. In porn CD, women are also victims. CD-maker scan earn a lot of money in this way, but it is based on women’s sacrifice. Actually, females are also a kind of goods as they are sold by CD-makers. Comparing to porn CD, Internet porn is a more serious problem. Internet is not well-controlled by government now and it is not easy to catch the film-makers of Internet online-watching films. So Internet porn is undiscoverable and secret. Even Internet porn can just use software such as MSN to do ‘video chatting’. Some teenage girls as a group are one of the most vulnerable to pornography. They do not think too such. Instead, they just sit in front of a computer and wait for money coming. They do not have conscious of becoming merchandise and the irony is that they are selling themselves! Internet pornography is not only morally wrong, but also causing crime. In Sichuan province of China, a 14-year-old girl was forced to do Internet pornography by a man. If she refused to do so, she would be raped and caned by the man. Obviously, women become goods and victims in pornography.
Furthermore, pornography films are harmful for teenage boys under 18. An article I read before revealed that a 16-year-old boy raped a 7-year-old girl after he watched some pornography films. And the reason is very astounding and unacceptable which is that he just wanted to ‘practice’ and simulate. Once he did that, he lost his future. So pornography poisons teenagers and influenced them negatively. From Internet, teenage boys can easily search and get some pornography films and pictures. Most even all porn websites cannot differentiate from the audience is teenagers or adults, and they also do not care the audience but money. Therefore, some teen boys may not control themselves, and are ultimately trapped by pornography films.
In order to prevent these things from happening once more, we should exercise some form of censorship in this area. Basically, government should have control. I think pornography is morally wrong because it has no respect for women and poisoned teenagers. Therefore, pornography should be totally banned regardless of adults or teenagers.
