OPINION:
THE BENEFITS OF PORNOGRAPHY
By Trevor K. McNeil
Always With Us
Archeologists have long known that as long as there have been people there has been sex. And nearly as long as there has been human sexuality there have been representations of it. Whatever medium was available at the time, cave wall, animal tusk, clay or papyrus pornography was available. Obviously, our forefathers understood the benefits of pornography.
Across Cultures
Through sculpting, painting, and pottery the ancients depicted the benefits of pornography. Egyptian artisans depicted the beauty of human sexuality. This goes for the written word, there being some pretty racy entries in the Bible. The Song of Solomon being a famous example. The Romans through sculpture glorified human sexuality. Pre-Christian Viking sagas told of great adventures; and no great adventure would be worth telling if there wasn’t plenty of sex.
Today
The benefits of pornography have followed us through the ages; emerging today primarily in streaming videos on the internet. Thanks to the vision of our forefathers we have reached for the stars and surpassed them.
