Abstract

Emotions are an important aspect of human psycho-social development and their correct ascription is a key element when interacting with others. This is true for case of normal everyday interaction as well as romantic or sexual interaction.

Not only reading emotions but also emotional coupling or mirroring - the empathy - is what makes such interaction pleasant. This is namely important in kids who can absorb the emotional and behavioral responses to certain situations from adults such as aggressive behavior seen in adults.

Pornographic movies may be a source of imitation model, but the emotional states depictured in the erotic material can be manipulated or even completely false which may lead to considering it appropriate by the viewer. The violence then can grow in the imagination of the consumer.

Therefore, the role of pornography should be discussed from didactic point of view which we attempt in this article.
