Definition of 'Pornographic Film'
editI disagree with the definition as presented in the introduction: "Pornographic films are motion pictures that explicitly depict sexual intercourse and other sexual acts, typically for the purpose of sexual arousal in the viewer". I would argue that a pornographic film must, by definition, be one that is for the purpouse of sexual arousal in the viewer, and that a film depicting secual acts such as intercourse is not automatically a 'pornographic film' (such as an educational video, or non-pornographic narrative film that includes a scene in which characters engage in intercourse). As such, what I disagree with is the word 'typically'. I'd be fine with just axing 'typically' from it. However, if there are a number of competing definitions of a 'pornographic film', I think that it would be best not to push any one definition, but rather to acknowledge a lack of consensus. If noone has any problem with in in a few days, I'll be bold and just cut 'typically' from there. Anyone else have an opninion on this? 219.77.138.228 (talk) 06:02, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- Agreed, except that as List_of_pornographic_sub-genres notes, one of the two main categories of pornography is soft core pornography, which doesn't or needn't "explicitly depict sexual intercourse". I think the whole sentence needs to be reversed. Something like "Pornographic films are motion pictures designed for the purpose of causing sexual arousal in the viewer, often by means of depicting sexual activity". 87.254.71.190 (talk) 21:06, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- Agreed on all points. I'm going to edit it now, and see if it goes well. 219.79.113.61 (talk) 11:02, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

- officially it is subjective either way equally. 71.212.151.50 (talk) 16:14, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
