11. YES
TO
SEX
Currently
in
North
America,
due
to
immigrants
bring
their
own
religions,
sex
is
no
longer
a
topic
people
are
forbidden
to
talk
about.

12. The
definition
of
pornography
varies
from
people
to
people.
Some
people
think
pornography
involves
shown
genital.
On
the
other
hand,
some
people
think
any
content
with
strong
sexual
implication
can
be
called
as
pornography

13. • Ways
to

through
time
• Erotic
literature
• Pornography
magazine
• Pornography
videos
DVD
from
studios
• Purchasing
online
membership
of
pornography
studios
• Online

14. Before
the
emergence
of
the
internet,
people
can
only
purchase
pornography
magazines
in
order
to
satisfy
their
sexual
desires.
Nevertheless,
the
process
of
purchasing
pornography
magazine
is
not
easy,
and
it
is
like
purchasing
alcohol
in
Ontario—
you
have
to
show
your
government
issued
ID
to
prove
you
are
an
adult.

15. With
the
help
of
the
development
of
technology,
people
started
to
use
camera
to
capture
the
real
human
body
and
the
real
sexual
activities.

16. Later,
when
the
internet
becomes
the
necessity
for
everyone,
people
started
to
browsing
pornography
online

18. NOWADAYS?
• As
the
development
of
technology,
people
can
access
pornogrpahy videos
through
their
virtual
reality
(VR)
headset.
It
gives
people
the
feeling
that
the
plot
in
porn
videos
actually
happens
in
front
of
the
viewers.

19. Pornography
may
have
various
types
and
genres,
and
each
individual’s
definition
of
pornography
may
vary.
However,
as
the
technology
develops,
people’s
taste
was
reshaped
in
the
process
of
alternation
in
sociality
of
sex
and
pornography.
