Explanation of the subject of pornography and its types and evolution

Abstract

Pornography means content containing explicit sexual scenes that are mainly intended to arouse sexual desire. It is a phenomenon that has been studied and explained in terms of its numerous destructive consequences on public and individual chastity and morality, as well as the family circle. The production, publication, distribution and trading of obscene or vulgar content are the most obvious examples of pornography. The finding of this research is that the term "pornography" and its types do not have a legal definition in any of the legal texts. The expansion of the use of the Internet and the recognition of cyberspace have increased the prevalence of the aforementioned behaviors in the virtual and intangible cyberspace. The types and course of the criminal evolution of pornography reflect the change in its pattern from paper images and photos in magazines and special publications of this kind to moving obscene images, obscene videos, obscene sounds, and printing industry technology, and the introduction of video in Iran in the sixties, and then storing information on computers, and then assembling and posting it on the Internet, and finally mobile phone technology.
