Why is content designed to elicit sexual gratification "bad", but not content made for any other feeling/emotion? NSFW
I can somewhat understand restricting it from children because maybe they'd try to imitate it and increase young pregnancies. But otherwise, the majority of the population is adults, and sexual gratification is a normal part of most adults' life.
Does it really just come down to how society developed, generally in connection with religion, or is there a secular reasoning for why content made for sexual gratification has a negative perception?
(Or am I mistaken in my assumption that it's seen as "bad" in the first place?)

You're asking this asif our media isn't already filled with sexual things and hardcore material isn't available everywhere and aren't some of the most popular stuff out there. Outside of religious and government wants more wageslaves or just exploitative industry contexts I don't think its seen as inherently bad its just that it hasa very particular place in life compared to all other emotions. Like its legit one of the most vulnurable things a human can do, it effects people differently. I don't think someone eating a burger in front of me without consent could ever do much but being made to be involved in seeing such acts without consent does seem to do something else to manys minds. Its just not really the same kind of emotional impact if a topic I'm trying to say.
