What porn people 3000 years back must be using when forget about audio / visual recording , even printing technology was either too primitive or non existent ? Or people in those days did not see a requirement for porn ?
3000 years ago, people used to use erotic paintings... Yes due to the Internet, porn has become easily available... Nowadays people use sexual connotation in most of the things such as comedy, movies, even conversations...
if men (and women) 3000 years ago had access to the internet to watch porn, they would have been glued to their pcs see link below to read about porn from 2000 years ago
What has become for me the big issue is not the internet. We should stop blaming technology for any wrong doing. How about putting our freewill to the test here, even for a second. A man gets an accident for answering his phone while driving.... they say if not for technology it wouldnt have happened. How about his free will to pick the call or not to pick the call?
I think the main reason is that there's not as many recognizable names in porn as there is in music. People who are avid porn watchers and downloaders probably don't go about searching for a specific actor/actress or something. They just download whatever is available because well, porn is porn. They just wanna see people f*cking, they don't care who's in it. On the other hand, not all music artists are the same, so when a certain artist drops a release and its leaked or something it can significantly hurt sales, considering how many people download music. Another factor might be that a lot of people order porn through television (PPV), and porn companies earn profits from those sales.
Cool Question! Heres what my research yielded: Erotic art in Pompeii and Herculaneum was discovered in the ancient cities around the bay of Naples (particularly of Pompeii and Herculaneum) after extensive excavations began in the 18th century. The city was found to be full of erotic art and frescoes, symbols, and inscriptions regarded by its excavators as pornographic. Even many recovered household items had a sexual theme. The ubiquity of such imagery and items indicates that the sexual mores of the ancient Roman culture of the time were much more liberal than most present-day cultures, although much of what might seem to us to be erotic imagery (eg oversized phalluses) could arguably be fertility-imagery. This clash of cultures led to an unknown number of discoveries being hidden away again. For example, a wall fresco which depicted Priapus, the ancient god of sex and fertility, with his extremely enlarged penis, was covered with plaster (and, as Schefold explains (p. 134), even the older reproduction below was locked away out of prudishness and only opened on request) and only rediscovered in 1998 due to rainfall [1]. In 1819, when King Francis I of Naples visited the Pompeii exhibition at the National Museum with his wife and daughter, he was so embarrassed by the erotic artwork that he decided to have it locked away in a secret cabinet, accessible only to people of mature age and respected morals. Re-opened, closed, re-opened again and then closed again for nearly 100 years, it was briefly made accessible again at the end of the 1960s (the time of the sexual revolution) and was finally re-opened for viewing in 2000. Minors are still only allowed entry to the once secret cabinet in the presence of a guardian or with written permission.
