Indian Pornography
Pornography in India is available in print magazines, but is mainly consumed using the internet. This consumption is increasing with the increased prevalence of smartphones and the internet. Despite the increased access, public discourse and attitudes on pornography remain muted and a taboo in many parts of India. Publishing pornographic material is illegal in India. Types of publication Print Studies have found that print media is less widely accessible than internet media in India. A randomized survey of 96 random vendors, such as video stores, mobile downloads/recharge stores and cybercafés, in Haryana, India found that 17% displayed pornography openly, 34% displayed it semi-openly, and 49% kept it hidden.Ravi Shankar, (2012).

Pornography In The United States
Pornography in the United States has existed since the country's origins and has become more readily accessible in the 21st century. Advanced by technological development, it has gone from a hard-to-find "back alley" item, beginning in 1969 with '' Blue Movie'' by Andy Warhol, the Golden Age of Porn (1969–1984) and home video, to being more available in the country and later, starting in the 1990s, readily accessible to nearly anyone with a computer or other device connected to the Internet. The U.S. has no current plans to block explicit content from children and adolescents, as many other countries have planned or proceeded to do. Attempts made to suppress it include: outright bans, prohibitions of its sale, censorship or rating schemes that restrict audience numbers, and claims that it is prostitution and thereby subject to regulations governing prostitution. Legal decisions affecting production and consumption of pornography include those relating to its definition, its rel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pornography In Europe
Pornography in Europe has been dominated by a few pan-European producers and distributors, the most notable of which is the Private Media Group that successfully claimed the position previously held by Color Climax Corporation in the early 1990s. Most European countries also have local pornography producers, from Portugal (e.g. ''Naturalvideo'') to Serbia (e.g. ''Hexor''), who face varying levels of competition with international producers. The legal status of pornography varies widely in Europe; its production and distribution are illegal in countries such as Ukraine, Belarus and Bulgaria, while Hungary is noted for having liberal pornography laws. Albania In Albania, pornography is illegal only for producing, delivery, advertising, import, selling and publication of pornographic materials in persons under 18 years old.

East Asia China Internet pornography was outlawed in the People's Republic of China effective 2002, when state censors issued guidelines requiring that all websites remove any pornographic material.

Sexuality In India
India has developed its discourse on sexuality differently based on its distinct regions with their own unique cultures. Background The seeming contradictions of Indian attitudes towards sex (more broadly – sexuality) can be best explained through the context of history. India played a role in shaping understandings of sexuality, and it could be argued that one of the first pieces of literature that treated ''"Kama"'' as science came from the Indian subcontinent. It may be argued that historically, India pioneered the use of sexual education through various art forms like sculptures, paintings, pieces of literature. As in all societies, there was a difference in sexual practices in India between common people and powerful rulers, with people in power often indulging in "self-gratification" lifestyles that were not representative of common moral attitudes. Moreover, there are distinct cultural differences seen through the course of history across India. Ancient times The o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sex In Indian Entertainment
In Indian film and television, the taboo about the depiction of sexuality has been declining. However, many Bollywood films, with an emphasis on the urban upper class, rarely depict the true values that most Indians have about sex. There is a great taboo on sex in India due to a variety of reasons, many of which involve cultural values. The content is subject to approval and categorization by the Central Board of Film Certification. An example of the taboo toward sexuality in parts of India is the controversy surrounding the film ''Fire'' (1996), which depicted a lesbian relationship. Mainstream films still largely cater to the conservative masses, however art films and foreign films containing sexuality are watched by urbanite (educated/literate) Indians with the internet being a major source. While Bollywood is more liberal nowadays than say, 20 or 30 years ago, sex is still a taboo subject and a vast majority of films do not expand on the sexual aspect of romance, despite the ...

Internet Censorship In India
Internet censorship in India is done by both central and state governments. DNS filtering and educating service users in suggested usages is an active strategy and government policy to regulate and block access to Internet content on a large scale. Also measures for removing content at the request of content creators through court orders have become more common in recent years. Initiating a mass surveillance government project like Golden Shield Project is also an alternative discussed over the years by government bodies.

Legality Of Child Pornography
Child pornography is illegal in most countries, but there is substantial variation in definitions, categories, penalties, and interpretations of laws. Differences include the definition of "child" under the laws, which can vary with the age of sexual consent; the definition of "child pornography" itself, for example on the basis of medium or degree of reality; and which actions are criminal (e.g. production, distribution, possession, and/or downloading and viewing of material). Laws surrounding fictional child pornography are a major source of variation between jurisdictions; some maintain distinctions in legality between real and fictive pornography depicting minors, while others regulate fictive material under general laws against child pornography. Several organizations and treaties have set non-binding guidelines (model legislation) for countries to follow. While a country may be a signatory, they may or may not have chosen to implement these guidelines. The information g ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

LGBT Culture In India
India has a vibrant LGBTQ culture, especially in its large cities due to growing acceptance in the recent years. Sexuality in pre-modern India Throughout Hindu and Vedic texts there are many descriptions of saints, demigods, and even the Supreme Lord transcending gender norms and manifesting multiple combinations of sex and gender. Apart from male and female, there are more than 20 types of genders, such as trans woman, trans men, androgynous and pangender etc. Transpeople were accepted in ancient India and referred to by terms like "tritya prakriti", "kliba" and "napunsaka". Alka Pande says that alternate sexuality was an integral part of ancient India and homosexuality was considered to be a form of the sacred, drawing upon the examples of the hermaphrodite Shikhandi and Arjuna who became a eunuch. Ruth Vanita argues that ancient India was relatively tolerant and views on it were ambiguous, from acceptance to rejection. Some Hindu texts mention homosexuality and support th ...
