Some of these are scientific, literary or artistic, and some are not "pornography" is a derogatory term we use to single out some category; for some, "pornography" means the most obscene and immoral material; for others it may mean the most arousing and enjoyable . The real issue is wether the explicit description or depiction of sex should ever be illegal.
MEANING OF PORNOGRAPHY
"PORNOGRAPHY" refers to printed or visual material containing the explicit description or display of sexual organs or activity, intended to stimulate sexual excitement.

Pornography significantly distorts attitudes and perceptions about the nature of sexual intercourse.

Pornography is very addictive. The addictive aspect of pornography has a biological substrate, with dopamine homone release acting as one of the mechanism for forming the transmission pathway to pleasure centers of the brain. Also the increased sexual permissiveness engendered by pornography increases the risk of contracting a sexual transmitted disease.
