Pornography study course in US college goes viral on social media: 'Porn as American as apple pie...'

A unique course being offered by an American college is going viral on social media. The course includes students watching pornographic films together to "discuss the sexualisation of race, class and gender and as an experimental, radical art form".

It is being offered by a private liberal arts college in Utah. The mention of the course has been removed from the website, but it is still being offered by the institute, according to reports.

The description of the course said, "Hardcore pornography is as American as apple pie and more popular than Sunday night football. Our approach to this billion-dollar industry is as both a cultural phenomenon that reflects and reinforces sexual inequalities (but holds the potential to challenge sexual and gender norms) and as an art form that requires serious contemplation."

Students would receive 2 credits for taking the course.
