What does the word porn even mean? Where did it originate from? Pornography is an interesting word for it-Just wondering what you know, and what you think.
Why do they call it porn?

So from the origin of prostitution I take it that it's just sex, nothing more? Thank you for answering.

Yep, writing about sex. Not exactly sure why a different term wasn't introduced for pictures of sex.

I don't like it. It just seems degrading.

Perhaps because they are making money from the acts of sex? Just a guess.
Interesting info though. I'm surprised I never googled that one myself...I'm a chronic googler.
