3. What is pornography?
Some definitions of pornography:
•The depiction of erotic behavior (as in pictures or writing) intended
to cause sexual excitement.
•Material (as books or a photograph) that depicts erotic behavior
and is intended to cause sexual excitement.
•The depiction of acts in a sensational manner so as to arouse a
quick intense emotional reaction.

4. HISTORY
First documented porn pictures were printed in oriental manuals of
sex, Kama Sutra was the most popular one among them. The Hindu
feared that the paper works would not survive and decorated the
temples of Kajuraho with bas-reliefs of numerous figurines of
people having sex.

5. The word “porn” meaning “indecent pictures” or “depiction of whores”
came from Greeks who painted such frescos on the walls of their
brothels. In a word, such pictures were wonderful advertising of homes
where women sold their love to Greeks for money.
The art of porn flourished in the Renaissance.

6. At the end of the 18th century France was the leading country
regarding the spread of porn pictures. Porn became an element of
playing-cards, posters, post cards and so on. Today, the porn
pictures of that time seem to be rather chaste.
Any new technological achievement was placed at the service of
porn. The first porn daguerreotype appeared in 1855, and the first
porn film was made in a year after the Lumiere brothers invented
cinema.

7. By the mid-1980s, the Golden Era of Porn came to naught. By that
time, the most popular porn stars appeared in hundreds of porn
films or even became porn directors and producers.
In reality, pornography is one of the most destructive and terrible
pieces of weaponry the Jews have ever deployed in their efforts to
corrode the character and integrity of white nations, and many
modern ills can be attributed to it.
