Mitä tarkoittaa

Prurient on englanninkielinen termi, joka tarkoittaa taipumusta tai kiinnostusta seksuaalisiin asioihin, erityisesti sellaisiin, jotka ovat vulgaareja tai sopimattomia. Termiä käytetään usein kuvaamaan sisältöä, joka voi herättää seksuaalisia haluja tai kiihottumista. Prurient-sana juontaa juurensa latinankielisestä sanasta 'prurire', joka tarkoittaa 'kutittaa' tai 'herättää haluja'. Sitä käytetään yleisesti lainsäädännössä ja mediassa kuvaamaan materiaalia, joka voi olla loukkaavaa tai sopimatonta, ja se voi viitata esimerkiksi pornografiaan tai muuhun seksuaalisesti vihjailevaan sisältöön.
