they both go back to prehistoric times and will be with us till the end
Porn was on the cave walls?
Lots of jackasses commit heinous crimes while stoned on pot. Pot doesn't turn you into a nice guy and somehow we managed not having too many mass murderers without porn and pot. This is just a lame excuse. Why even have one? Just admit to yourself you enjoy it and quit trying to rationalize it.
The World’s Oldest Pornography Is Prehistoric and Bi-curious
"The World’s Oldest Pornography
It’s at least 3,000 years old, and it’s bi-curious.
"Prudes shouldn’t go into archeology. The patina of antiquity may make a carved ivory phallus, Venus figurine, or vulva painting on a cave wall priceless, communicating to us from a mute, distant past. But transplant those images to the modern world and you get dildos, Playboy, and Georgia O’Keefe. Still, most prehistoric erotic art is abstract, disembodied. It doesn’t explicitly depict sex-crazed ancients screwing their brains out for fun and fertility.
But one little-known, mysterious archaeological site does. The Kangjiashimenji Petroglyphs are bas-relief carvings in a massive red-basalt outcropping in the remote Xinjiang region of northwest China. The artwork includes the earliest—and some of the most graphic—depictions of copulation in the world."

Palaeolithic and mesolithic[edit]
Among the oldest surviving examples of erotic depictions are
Paleolithic cave paintings and carvings. Some of the more common images are of animals, hunting scenes and depictions of human
genitalia. Nude human beings with exaggerated sexual characteristics are depicted in some Paleolithic paintings and artifacts (e.g.
Venus figurines). Recently discovered cave art at
Creswell Crags in England, thought to be more than 12,000 years old, includes some symbols that may be stylized versions of female genitalia. As there is no direct evidence of the use of these objects, it is speculated that they may have been used in religious rituals,
[8] or for a more directly sexual purpose.
[9]
Archaeologists in Germany reported in April 2005 that they had found what they believe is a 7,200-year-old scene depicting a male figurine bending over a female figurine in a manner suggestive of sexual intercourse. The male figure has been named Adonis von Zschernitz.
[10]
Egypt[edit]
One artifact from Egypt, called the
Turin Erotic Papyrus has been dubbed the "men's magazine" of its time. It partly consists of explicit depictions of sexual acts and was painted in the Ramesside period (1292-1075 BCE).<<
Porn, dirty jokes, art, religious depictions, good luck symbols, directions and new positions................ emipres lasted thousands of years and the porn was not what destroyed society.
Fear of porn is just prudish ignorant nonsense. OK we don't need giant depiction on the side of building..........oh wait, people in nothing but their tiny undies or sexually touching and kissing is virtually porn, leaving every curve and bump magnified. Other countries use full nudity on their billboards. We have topless and nude beaches. We have nudist buildings. We have women with painted bodies topless on the streets of NY. We've had nudity used in political protests. We have porn in graphic novels and cartoons. We have novels that can be very pornographic, pictures not always necessary. Sexual pornographic and erotic poetry and stories are abundant.
So porn is just a part of life, past and present.
Who is to say what is porn and what is not?
