As far as i know, consumption, distribution, and production of it is prohibited. Is the prohibition based on a new proletarian morality/ethic or is there a materialist basis for the complete ban?

From my perspective, I don't view the sexual as "antisocial until it is adorned with "higher" aspects of humanity". I think the sexual can be pro-social in and of itself.

No one said the non-sexual aspects of media are "higher aspects of humanity". Yes the sexual can be pro-social, you'll see plenty of that in China, but media designed specifically as wanking material is not considered healthy by China.

But then how would you differ creative expression of one's own sexuality from wanking material?
