 The term “pornography” is used in all of these different ways in everyday discourse and debate, as well as in philosophical discussions. Sometimes it is used to mean merely material which is sexually explicit; sometimes it is used to mean material which is sexually explicit and objectionable in some particular way; and so on. (For further discussion, see Rea 2001.) We do not need to choose between these different definitions, for all of them capture something of the term’s everyday use and different definitions may be useful for different purposes. What matters crucially is that we know which definition is being used on a particular occasion. The fact that “pornography” has different senses can have two very unfortunate consequences if these differences are not clearly noted and kept in mind: It can make it seem that there is disagreement when there is not; and it can obscure the real nature of the disagreement when there is.
