Etymology
The word 'porn' is a shortened form of 'pornography', which comes from the Greek word 'pornographos' meaning 'writing about prostitutes'. The term 'pornography' made its way into English in the early 19th century, originally referring to portrayals of prostitutes or sexual activities. With the advent of the internet in the late 20th century, the term evolved as access to sexually explicit materials became much more widespread. The societal and cultural implications of pornography have been a subject of debate and controversy, particularly regarding its effects on individual behavior and societal norms surrounding sex and relationships. The materials classified as porn encompass a wide range of representations, some of which challenge traditional views of sexuality.
