When I was growing up in the 70s, I'm not even sure I knew the word porn, but Playboy would have been the embodiment of it, if I did know the word.
My porn scale pretty much went JC Penny catalog, National Geographic, Playboy magazine. |

The word "pornographic" seems to have two meanings. In common use it is everything from a statue of a nude to hardcore sex images. Legally though, isn't "pornographic" the level at which it becomes illegal?

Playboy was always more than just the pictorials, though. Hence the phrase "I only read it for the articles." Yeah, right. Tell me another one, Spanky.

Hey, I remember a good article from Playboy in the early 70s. It was by Mort Sahl and titled "Charmed by a Snake." It was about him owning an AC Cobra. I'm still looking for a copy.

The only time I can remember picking up a Playboy magazine was in the early-mid 80's (I think) to read an interview with one of the former Beatles. It was so memorable, I can't even recall which of them it was being interviewed.

I read an exceptional interview with George Harrison in Playboy in the 80s. I don't usually remember specific articles/interviews for 30+ years.

I remember there was a really good interview in Playboy with John Lennon that came out a few months before he was killed. Sad timing

No, when it's illegal it's snuff. Porn is depictions of nudity and/or sexual acts for erotic effect.

I don't think that's true. Snuff is a very specific type of pornographic movie, involving murder. Pornography can be illegal without being snuff.

Sure, if it's got minors or something, but most porn is not illegal, at least in the US.

All porn is not illegal, some porn clearly is illegal. You've already managed to list two types.

Do the types I've listed constitute the majority of porn produced? I seriously doubt it.

Wikipedia: Pornography . . . is the portrayal of sexual subject matter for the purpose of sexual arousal. However, if you Google the word, you get this definition: "printed or visual material containing the explicit description or display of sexual organs or activity, intended to stimulate erotic rather than aesthetic or emotional feelings." (Emphasis mine.) I would say that by Wikipedia's definition, Playboy is porn, but by Google's it would arguably be in a gray area. Quote:

For me at least, "prurient" is one of those words that sounds like the opposite of what it is. I'm guessing that is because it is close to Puritan maybe?
"Teetotaler" is another (to cover both topics in this thread). |

Yeah, I always associate it with "prudent"
