What is Pornography?

After spending dozens of hours researching a paper for school I finally finished it and decided to read some poems tonight. I wanted to go back to one that I had rushed through this afternoon to give it a more thorough reading. Only the poem and that entire den vanished. My friend who is often misunderstood, but always right wrote it. His poems are for him, his pleasure, in his style. All he asked for is that you visit, say hello and move on. If his poetry titillated you then good. That means YOU are alive. So live and let others live too.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


If what you think you see
Is pornography
Then maybe you should join me
As I feel excitement
Luring you with an enticement


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary Pornography is defined as:

1
: the depiction of erotic behavior (as in pictures or writing) intended to cause sexual excitement

2 : material (as books or a photograph) that depicts erotic behavior and is intended to cause sexual excitement

3 : the depiction of acts in a sensational manner so as to arouse a quick intense emotional reaction <the pornography of violence>

I sort of agree with Lisa. A weird or sick mind can consider a brilliant, erotic poem pornography while others just accept it for what it is.
Good one.

Well since we still live in a puritanistic society, the dictionary's definition is almost always superceded by our sociologically, emotionally, religiously, oppressive ideals of what pornography is and therefore we group it together with things that are simply natural beauty at (it's)their core and not really porn. But the key issue is intent. Just ask Calvin Klein.

Thank you for helping to spread the clarification of this and your piece is terrific!

That is some avocado! I love guacamole dip, or is it the other way, I love to dip guacamole?
I know it has something to do with tacos, something erotic about spooning the stuffing out with one's tongue, tasting that spice and coolness on your pallet, that just keeps you coming back for more.

I don't think it's up to me what's porn and what's not. I won't make that judgement call. I may not be thinking and feeling the same things when I read it, that the author/artist was when they wrote it. By the definitions you have entered here, nearly everything I write is porn. It wasn't dirty when I wrote it. It only becomes dirty when a tainted mind reads it. So for those that find my writes off beat so to speak, well, they weren't when I felt them.
Great point SG! Lisa
