Is pornography a new religion? A brief comparison between sexuality in Huxley's Brave New World and religion seems to prove it. pornography also correponds to Marx's definition of the opium of the masses.
Moreover, and this is especially visible in dystopian novels, pornography has a social function since it maintains the social order stable.
Finally, from a more realistic point of view, pornography in contemporary western societies may be described as the opium of the consumers' masses... it also maintains a stereotypical gender hierarchy.
