Ponografia (kutoka neno la Kigiriki cha kisasa πορνογραφία, pornografia, ambalo linaunganisha πόρνη, pornē, yaani "kahaba" au πορνεία, porneia, yaani "ukahaba"List of Greek words starting with πορν- (porn-) on Perseus.), na γράφειν, grafein, "kuandika, kutunza kumbukumbu, hata mchoro", na kumalizika ns ία,  ia, yaani "hali ya, mali ya, mahali pa") ni picha au maandishi yenye lengo la kuwatia ashiki watazamaji au wasomaji.

Katika utandawazi ponografia inatumia njia zote za mawasiliano na kuenea katika kila pembe ya dunia, ikiathiri hasa vijana na watoto na kuchangia ubakaji na matatizo menginehttps://www.mwananchi.co.tz/mw/habari/kitaifa/picha-video-za-ngono-zinavyochangia-kupunguza-hamu-ya-tendo-la-ndoa-3905372.

Ndiyo sababu katika nchi mbalimbali kuna sheria ambazo zinaidhibiti au kuikataza na kuiadhibu kabisa, hasa inapohusisha watoto.

Pamoja na sheria, upinzani unatokana na wanaopigania haki za wanawakeShrage, Laurie. (2007-07-13). "Feminist Perspectives on Sex Markets: Pornography".

"Sex forced on real women so that it can be sold at a profit to be forced on other real women; women's bodies trussed and maimed and raped and made into things to be hurt and obtained and accessed, and this presented as the nature of women; the coercion that is visible and the coercion that has become invisible—this and more grounds the feminist concern with pornography".MacKinnon, Catharine (1987).

Kwa mfano, Kanisa Katoliki linakataza ponografia tangu Karne za Kati, na katika Katekisimu yake rasmi ya sasa inaipinga tena katika n. 2354Pornography consists in removing real or simulated sexual acts from the intimacy of the partners, in order to display them deliberately to third parties. It offends against chastity because it perverts the conjugal act, the intimate giving of spouses to each other. It does grave injury to the dignity of its participants (actors, vendors, the public), since each one becomes an object of base pleasure and illicit profit for others. It immerses all who are involved in the illusion of a fantasy world. It is a grave offense. Civil authorities should prevent the production and distribution of pornographic materials.

Ingawa ponografia ina madhara kwa afya ya nafsi https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/catholic-university-study-finds-strong-link-between-porn-use-and-depression-anxiety-in-students/?inf_contact_key=e88aef8df22201feed3275621e75a626b7af0999dac2af6212784c39e05d2aef, ni vigumu kuizuia kwa kuwa inagusa silika ya watu  na ni biashara kubwa kabisa inayolenga pesa, si maendeleo ya jamii, na kudhalilisha binadamu. Huko Marekani tu inazungusha dola bilioni 2.5 kwa mwaka.
