What is your position on pornography? It is legally protected expression. Would you limit the protection?

For me, I think pornography is an art. Based on what I know of pornography, it come in many different kind of media like printed comics, animation, cartoon, games, movies, short clips, literature and lots more. Pornography is the depiction of explicit sexual subject matter for the purpose of sexual excitement. Nowadays, people hate to talk about that because it is a very sensitive issues. Some of us can discuss about it among their friends and some of them can't stand it just by thinking of them. This is because since young, they were taught by their parents that pornography is a bad materials and don't even see or think about it. Some of them follow what the parents said and some of them still watching it and take it as a entertainment. Besides, some of them take it as an educational programmes.

Other then that, some of the countries like Australia, Japan, India, Canada, Philippines, Portugal, Taiwan, United Kingdom, United States, and lots more that have legal status on pornography. Moreover, some of the countries take the actresses of pornography which they call it a "porn star"as a main career that highly paid. For example, country like Japan, they don't mind very much because this is how they live. I heard one of my friend that visited Japan a few years ago. He told me that Japanese girl which never have sex before that means they are still not mature and this normally happened in Tokyo. By that, we can see how pornography affects the whole society.

On the other side, some of the country hardly ban pornography because they think that this kind of materials bring disadvantages. However, a country should have limit on this kind of things so that not everyone else can access to it easily. If everyone can access to it easily, then the following country will face a very big problems such as increasing of crime rates. In addition, people that cannot control themselves might do something bad so that they can satisfy their own satisfaction. For example, some of the criminals do crimes like sexual harrastment, rape, and lots more because they cannot take it anymore. Normally, they just watch pornography but they cannot experiences the real feeling and that is why they started to find victims. So, people should be aware of this issues and have a good self control.

From my point of view, I don't think that as a disadvantage. This is because it just depends on a person's attitude and their lifestyle. Some of them like to watch porn and some of them don't like. Besides that, I think pornography for me is okay. It is a legally protected expression. I think a country should allow pornography websites but not totally free because if totally free, even those underage children can enter the websites easily. Still, I think pornography should have some limits. Maybe just use for educational purpose.
