Pornography also refers to the depiction of erotic behavior intended to cause sexual excitement. According to the anti pornographic bill, pornography refers to any representation through publication exhibition, cinematography, and indescent show information technology or by whatever means of the person engaged in real stimulated explicit sexual activities or any representation of sexual parts of the person for primarily sexual excitement. The antiponorgraphy bill was signed into law by H.E Yoweri Kaguta Museveni on the 6th February, 2014; this was signed so as to establish acceptable codes of conduct in society and also to prevent crimes. Pornography in Uganda is prohibited and according to subsection one, a person shall not produce, traffic in, publish, broadcast, procure, export-import, sell, or abet, any form of pornography. In subsection two ,a person who produces or participates in the production of or traffics in ,publishes broadcasts, procures, exports, or in any way abets pornography contrary to subsection one commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding five hundred currency points or points or imprisonment not exceeding ten years or both. There are various materials that should not circulate in Ugandan public these include mostly novels, poems, songs, and movies because they contain explicit show of sex and the language used is immoral. The above mostly circulate from the internet and according to the act internet service providers who by not using or enforcing the means to procedure recommended by the committee to control pornography, permits to be uploaded or downloaded through its service any content of pornographic nature , commits an offence and is liable , on conviction to a fine not exceeding five years or both the penalty is if a publisher or broadcaster or internet content developer or dealer in telephone related business or internet service provider commits an offence under subsection one the court convicting that person may for a subsequent offence, by order ,suspend the business. The following are some of the definitions for the key word used in the ant pornography bill the first is procure which means to purchase or obtain or to import or being found in possession of or custody of or being found viewing in a premise, any matter prohibited by the committee for appropriate anti pornography purpose such as education and sensitization by personnel approved by the committee. Publish means to put out written information or make available written information to the public or any person or through any print medium. Traffic means to deal in or cause or permit or aid the prisoner or circulation of pornographic matter by way of trade or publishing or entertainment or programming or unrestricted internet access or any other means or purpose. In this case a song entitled I just had sex by sung by the lonely island featuring Akon from the album turtleneck and chain was released on January 8th 2011 recorded in 2010 the length is 2:48 means produced by Dj Frank, the lonely island members include Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer with guest appearances of Jessica Alba Blake lively and john McEnroe. The song was banned in some countries because of its sexual content it sold over 250000 digital copies in America in its first two weeks the video was posted on you tube and has so far gained over 230 million views. The following are the reasons as to why this song should not circulate in Ugandan public; The song can cause sexual stimulation in a person and mostly the teenagers who have no control over their bodies due to the fact that they aren’t mature enough to make reasonable decisions this song seriously stresses how sex is good and thus encouraging everyone to try it out this therefore misleads the young generation in such a way that they start looking at sex as a means of entertainment on top of that having it earlier than expected they will tend to have sex with out putting in mind the dangers or outcomes of sex like unwanted pregnancies, HIV/AIDS, and other sexually transmitted diseases hence this song should not circulate in Ugandan public. The song contains a series of sexual or dirty words such as penis, vagina, and these are highly used this therefore cause miss use of language in the young and also adults at large because these words are used without fear this will contaminate the language of the people in Uganda because they will start uttering any kind if word that they think of and this is Africa there are some words that cant be uttered due to the fact that they are obscene or vulgar hence eroding culture There is a verse saying that the song is dedicated to them girls that let us flop around on top of them and also thanking the girls for fucking them this greatly demoralizes the women in other words they are looked at as sexual objects and nothing else thus they should not circulate in the Ugandan public. The song also causes moral decay and intoxication of the mind just because sex is explicitly and directly talked about people get the urge to have sex and sleep with any one that is why these days people do have it in the open on the beach mostly regardless of any one looking. In conclusion, this song should not circulate the public of Uganda due to the fact that it explicitly or directly talks about sex in the open which causes or increases sex misconduct and prostitution.
