Pornography and sexual moralism
Pornography has been the subject of debate for decades and much of the debate has been a moralistic and alarming view of adult society. However, it is time to question this narrow view and to understand pornography from a broader and more precise perspective.
Firstly, pornography is not a new or unique phenomenon in the digital age. Their presence in contemporary society reflects the evolution of sexual attitudes and practices over time. However, the moralist (and sexophobe) view tends to demonize pornography as something harmful or immoral in itself, without recognizing its complexity and diversity.
In addition, the alarmist view of pornography (see latest Emakunde campaign) often fails to take into account that pornography can have different meanings and functions for many people. For some, pornography can be a way to explore sexuality, learn about pleasure and intimacy, or expand the erotic imaginary. However, the moralistic narrative tends to put and stigmatize those who consume pornography in the same bag, regardless of the nuances.

It is also important to recognize that pornography is not harmful in itself, although it can become a problem when consuming uncritical or perpetuating harmful stereotypes about gender, sexuality and the body. But instead of demonizing pornography as a whole, we must opt for a more critical and thoughtful vision that recognises the positive aspects and risks it may have.
This broader view is necessary because the moralistic view of pornography has negative consequences, such as the overload of censorship or the criminalization and pathology of sexually explicit content. This, in addition to limiting sexual freedom and the decision itself, hinders adequate sexual education and the prevention of dangerous sexual behaviors.
It is therefore time to put aside obsolete, simplistic, stigmatizing and prohibitive visions. And to address pornography in a more critical, informed, thoughtful, constructive and painstaking way (also in the educational field).
