Pornography audio micro-course (transcript)
Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Today's word is "Pornography" — noun, pronounced /pɔːˈnɒɡrəfi/, with the stress on "nog".
Narrator: Pornography is books, films or images that show sexual acts in a way intended to arouse.
Narrator: In plain English, pornography is sexually explicit material, often shortened to porn.
Narrator: It comes from the Greek porne, meaning a prostitute, and graphos, meaning writing, so literally writing about prostitutes.
Narrator: "Internet pornography" describes sexually explicit material distributed online, often called simply porn.
Narrator: It differs from erotica because pornography is more explicit and focused on arousal, whereas erotica often has artistic or emotional context.
Narrator: "Child pornography" is the illegal depiction of minors in sexual acts, a serious crime worldwide.
Narrator: Law, sociology, psychology, media studies and public health all rely on the word pornography.
Narrator: So remember: pornography is sexually explicit material, from the Greek for writing about prostitutes.

Podcast 2 — In conversation
Speaker A: Where does the word pornography come from? It sounds Greek to me.
Speaker B: It is! PORNOGRAPHY joins the Greek porne, a prostitute, with graphos, writing, so it literally means writing about prostitutes.
Speaker A: And is it the same as erotica?
Speaker B: Close, but erotica often has an artistic side, while pornography is more explicit!
Speaker A: Example sentences?
Speaker B: "The site hosted illegal pornography"; "she studied the effects of internet pornography"; "the law bans child pornography" — a crime, a study, and a ban.
Speaker A: Common mistakes?
Speaker B: Do not use pornography for merely suggestive art, because the word implies explicit sexual depiction; and the stress is on nog, not por.
Speaker A: Close relatives?
Speaker B: "Erotica" the artistic cousin, "porn" the short twin, "obscenity" the legal alternative. The pornography keeps its explicit, Greek-rooted charm!
Podcast 3 — Prompt engineering
Speaker B: Let's use "pornography" in AI prompts — useful for policy drafters and research summary tools.
Speaker A: So a prompt could draft a policy?
Speaker B: Right. For a platform app, you'd write:
Prompt: Draft a short platform policy on pornography, covering what is banned, how it is detected and how users can appeal.
Speaker A: How about a research tool?
Speaker B: Ask the model to summarise a study:
Prompt: Summarise in three sentences the main findings of a study on the effects of internet pornography on young people, without naming real victims.
Speaker A: Could it help with a legal guide?
Speaker B: Yes, you can explain the law:
Prompt: Explain in two sentences why child pornography is treated as a serious crime, naming one international agreement that addresses it.
Speaker A: One more?
Speaker B: For a parent safety app, try this:
Prompt: Write a short, non-judgemental guide for parents on talking to a teenager who has seen pornography online, suggesting one opening question.
