As humans, we should not exercise censorship in the field of pornography :D

The censorship of pornography is widely debated by the society. Many think that pornography just corrupts the mind of pure innocent kids, however I do not agree with this view of large portion of the general public. I think that there should not be censorship to this area as its part of our human body, which is natural, it’s a form of personal expression and it is also a part of an "all-rounded" education.
Firstly, Pornography is described by many as the revealing of our "private" parts and it is obscene and unruly to reveal them to the general public. I disagree to this point, as these "obscenities" are just natural human body parts, what’s there to be afraid of displaying them? Besides, we even study them in Biology lessons, showing us samples of photos with people suffering from syphilis(a disease that greatly affects the penis), and even during assemblies where there are females around. Thus, I do not see a need for censorship, as people of this era are so comfortable with it, unlike people 2 centuries back, where they are so conservative.
Secondly, Pornography is a form of free will expression. As a citizen of the country, everyone should be able to display whenever they like, and if this is so, people should be able to view them as and when they like. This is the true definition of a democratic society, where humans are free to show their different forms of expression. Pornography, as a method of speech, words and pictures about sexuality, is a channel for people to display their sexual desires for people to view. This would create a wider variety of options for people to choose from, looking and displaying their desires in different methods.
Lastly, Pornography is part of an "all-rounded education". As students, there is a need for us to experience and learn the arts of releasing desires. Pornography could be just complimentary to the sexual education that we are taught in school. For example, Elizabeth Choy, has naked portraits of herself, and is not shameful of them. Thus, Elizabeth Choy, a war hero, should be an exemplary example for us to follow.
In conclusion, I feel that Pornography is just a form of expression of the sexual desire of the human body. There is nothing wrong for us to learn and understand more about "nature". Thus, instead of being shameful of it, needing to censor them; it should be glorified, not being kept in the dark.
