footnote 48

"Currently, there is no evidence that visual images and films are addictive." yet everything in footnote 48 seems to contradict that

Defining Pornography

So what if the average human being wanted to just be able to judge if their image is considered as pornography before posting it. Reading this article is quite time consuming We have a point blank systematic way of judging if an image is pornography or not. It is used quite often in the judicial system, so why can't it be used as a tool online as well? — Preceding unsigned comment added by EducateAmerica (talk • contribs) 01:53, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A Feminist objections section and an Economics section

Amalia Ziv argues that the lesbian feminist movement in the 1980s was good for women in the porn industry. [1] As more women entered the developmental side of the industry, this allowed women to gear porn towards women because they knew what women wanted, both for the actresses and the audience. [2] Ziv argues that this is a good thing because for such a long time, the porn industry has been directed by men for men. [3] This also sparked the arrival of making lesbian porn for lesbians instead of men. [4] However the argument that man-on-man gay porn has influenced lesbian porn was also brought up. [5] This has been seen as a negative influence due to its incorporation of fisting, the use of dildos, and rough fingering. [6]

As of 2014 the porn industry was believed to bring in more than $13 billion dollars on a yearly basis, just in the United States. [7] The porn industry alone brings in more revenue than the combined industries: Netflix, Google, eBay, Yahoo, Amazon, Microsoft, and Apple. [8]

Lana519 (talk · contribs), I see that you are with Education Program:University of Illinois/Queer Lives, Queer Politics (Fall 2014), and have began a WP:Sandbox for the topic of pornography. Your WP:Sandbox is the place for all of your work on this, not the talk page. If you want editors to know about your WP:Sandbox on this matter, all you have to do is start a section on this talk page about it, explaining it, and then link to the WP:Sandbox. You've obviously already started sections on this talk page. I have combined them under one heading. So this section will suffice for letting other editors know about your work on this case.

Again, the talk page is not the place for this. Read WP:Class assignment for how you, as an editor assigned with the task of editing Wikipedia, should edit Wikipedia. Flyer22 (talk) 09:57, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Word sometimes censored for offensiveness?

Do you think it could be censored as p***, p****, or p**********? The rest of the letters are replaced with asterisks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Whoever456 (talk • contribs) 00:43, 22 November 2014‎

"However, the concept of pornography as understood today did not exist until the Victorian era."

"However, the concept of pornography as understood today did not exist until the Victorian era."

This unsourced sentence is dubious and should probably be removed. The Pompeii artwork by itself probably provides enough of a refutation to disprove the sentence, and I am sure there are many other examples throughout the ages. 50.49.134.141 (talk) 07:09, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
