In pornography a visual or verbal image acts as a direct stimulus to the erotic drives or impulses, which are always latent and ready to be stimulated in normal people (McCune 1985: 13). Television perhaps more than any other medium, is the average persons first glimpse at pornography. It invades your home through regular programming, cable and videos. A large part of this pornographic blitz pairs sexual pleasure with violence and develops the concept that women are expendable (McCune, 1985: 18). There are countless plots on television dealing with rape, murder, kidnapping, and beatings. All of this done to the leading man's wife or girlfriend and has become the rule. Similarly, pornography in movies ha

Pornography is basically a violation of several of the norms in our society. Meaning that in this country where we live and are citizens, there is pornography that depicts the humiliation of women. Every single way possible of humiliating a women is taken to be a form of sexual pleasure for the viewer and for the victim (United States Generals Commission on Pornography, 1986: 198). Women are covered with filth including feces, mud, paint, blood, and semen. Women are tortured for the sexual pleasure of murdering women (United States General Commission on Pornography, 1986: 198). This material exists because it is fun, excitement, and a form of pleasure for the viewer. There are some who say it is a form of freedom. Certainly it may be a freedom for those who do it and for those who use it as entertainment. However, being asked to believe that it is a freedom for those whom it is being done to is ludicrous.

The mere existence of laws like this means nothing however, unless they are enforced and enforced vigorously. Continuous enforcement of pornography and obscenity laws on every level, federal, state, and local could see an end to the pornography plaque with in two years (Attorney Generals Commission on Pornography,1986: 113).

Other solutions lie in a vocal public urging of

continuous law enforcement. Use federal, state, and local laws that make it a crime to traffic in pornography. The Supreme Court said, "That in determining whether material is obscene or not the community standards must be applied." But a judge or jury cannot know what these standards are if the community does not express them and express them loudly.

A 1998 study by the FBI found that 81% of all violent sex offenders regularly read or viewed violent pornography. A Michigan State Police study found that porn was viewed just before or during 41% of 48,000 sexual crimes committed over the past 20 years. Violent pornography is like a how-to-manual for rapists and child abusers. A FBI study on serial homicide concluded that the most common interest among serial killers is pornography. Ted Bundy states "I've lived in prison for a long time now and I've met a lot of men who were motivated to commit violence just like me. And without exception, every one of them was deeply involved in pornography" (McCune, 1985: 140).
