Define porn

14 comments

1. I don’t know what it counts as, but ew.

2. Why do you ask? Did you catch your husband masturbating to instagram models, and you don’t like it?

3. >Does saving bikini pictures of insta famous women still count as porn

   Yes, it’s porn. All the differences you might draw between the two things are really not relevant as far as whether or not its porn.

   It’s clear that he’s a loophole-finder. These kind of people always act in bad faith. They know that they are violating the spirit of what they agreed to or what boundary was communicated to them, they just think they can “get away with it” when they get caught by saying “um, ackshually it’s technically not a violation of our agreement”.

   That mindset will never lead to fixing problems, just hiding them better.

4. If you’re hiding it from your partner or they’re uncomfortable with it, then it doesn’t really matter what you consider porn. It’s just semantics. By viewing it behind your partner’s back, you’re either lying to them or disrespecting them.

5. It doesn’t really matter how other people define it, it matters how you and your husband define it.

6. Honestly saving any kind of sexy thing whether is a picture on Instagram or a porn video is weird

   Even in my teenage years being completely addicted 3 times a day minimum to porn I can’t say I’ve ever downloaded or book marked a single thing. Never understood the behavior even as a single guy

7. If you’re over 50 and confused about how to do internet searches, I am ok with this.

8. I think of a good number of HBO series as a type of porn – Game of Thrones, True Blood, etc.

   Simulated sex qualifies as porn, IMO.

9. Why is this sub obsessed with porno? Lmao.

10. If porn is anything sexualised then all the reality tv shows are now to be included as porn. Love island, the batchelor/batchelorette. Anything Kardashian.

11. You two set the boundaries in your marriage. If you are not ok with it, it doesn’t matter whether strangers consider it porn.

12. > Pornography (often shortened to porn or porno) is the portrayal of sexual subject matter for the exclusive purpose of sexual arousal. Primarily intended for adults, pornography is presented in a variety of media, including magazines, art, literature, photography, audio, film, animation, and video games. A distinction is often made as to whether to classify adult content as pornography or erotica.

    The Supreme Court was incapable of defining pornography in its seminal case protecting it under the First Amendment. It instead identified it as having a “prurient” (defined as “having or encouraging an excessive interest in sexual matters”) nature.

    So, is a woman in a bikini porn when those images are being saved on a computer? It technically fits the definition. I doubt this guy’s downloading these images to scrutinize various bikini styles. Still, I wouldn’t call a shirtless man “pornography,” and I also reject a sexless world where any titillation is an affront to “decency” and “morals.”

    Personally I conclude this is not “porn.” Porn that qualifies for me is actual or simulated portrayals of sexual acts or humans specifically posing in a manner to inspire thoughts of sexual acts. Nudity in and of itself is not sexual. There must be more.

13. Honestly I would prefer my husband to watch porn than being on instagram saving butts on his phone..

14. That’s a soft porn of sorts, it’s the sort of thing teenage boys do when they first start discovering their bodies.
