Definition

  • The end of the 20th century brought the mainstreaming of pornography in the United States, as a onceunderground business came into homes, offices, and hotel rooms aided by technological, legal, and political changes. At the same time, the pornography industry's products became increasingly graphic, explicit, and degrading, pushing society's boundaries.
