I want to edit this topic because I have to add something specific to this topic. As the history of Indian Pornography, I want to add something. Allabout9957 (talk) 15:23, 29 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Aspect missing

There is one aspect missing from the article and that's the fact that sexually explicit productions are not always deemed pornography. For example, TV shows such as Game of Thrones and Shameless contain depictions of sexual acts to a degree they would have been classified as softcore porn in the 1970s; there are also films depicting unsimulated sex acts that are considered mainstream films and not porn (Gaspar Noe's Love 3-D comes to mind). There was even an internet meme a few years back "It's not porn, it's HBO". Sourcing, etc., would need to be done, but this I think is important to discuss in the article. 50.66.121.20 (talk) 02:03, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, drawing the line depends on time and place. Agree. Tgeorgescu (talk) 02:21, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What is Not Pornography Section

The second paragraph under this section caught my eye. It appears to be more of a quickly jotted note rather than a fully formed point (I believe there's a typo as well) and cites an opinion piece from more than a decade ago that makes some points that are likely out of date and debatable. There certainly could be more fleshed out discussion here, but I'm not entirely sure this is the most appropriate way or source.

If the point, as I infer it, is that what is considered pornography changes over time, then it is part-and-parcel to the definition of pornography and social acceptance. These are not so clearly defined. Fleshing this out would probably lead to other changes in the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stephmey (talk • contribs) 08:39, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
