pornography:  Written, graphic or other forms of communication intended
to excite lascivious feelings.

lascivious:  1. Of or characterized by lust; lewd; lecherous.
2. Exciting sexual desires

both from The American Heritage Dictionary, which claims to report
on the English Language as it is *acutally* spoken by Americans.

Of course the M.A.P. degrades women, and presents them with a false
ideal, etc.  Perhaps I wasn't strong enough: not only am I no fan
of the M.A.P., but I positively detest it. However, it is NOT, as
far as I can see, pornographic. Is there anyone out there in net.land
for whom the M.A.P. excites lascivious feelings?  If so, I wonder what
you do during, say, an episode of "Three's Company".

Probably this discussion dosen't belong in net.women.  Net.grammar, if
it exists, looks like a better choice.  We both seem to agree on the nature
of the M.A.P. and P.H.M.  I just do like like to see the English language
bent out of shape, no matter how noble the cause such bending serves.
So. "lets call a spade a spade..."
