DEFINING PORNOGRAPHY Printed or visual material containing the explicit description or display of sexual organs or activity, intended to stimulate erotic rather than aesthetic or emotional feelings. Media or photographs showing erotic or sexual behaviour in a way designed to cause sexual arousal. Pornography is protected by the free speech provision of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, unless it is found to be obscene. See also obscenity. (Websters Law Dictionary), “I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description ["hard-core pornography"], and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it” Justice Potter Stewart 1964. PORN IS EVERYWHERE… AND JUST WHAT IS PORN ANYWAY – CAN WE DEFINE IT?

Source: https://ninaberman.wordpress.com/page/11/ PORNOGRAPHY- GENDER ISSUES . Majority of research indicates that significantly more boys and young men access pornography than girls and young women) . Boys and young men are also likely to access pornography more frequently, view it more positively and consider its usage a valuable source of information on sex education (Hovarth et al, 2013; Skau, 2011) PORNOGRAPHY IS PROBLEMATIC – FOR SOME KIDS: SIGNS OF PROBLEMATIC EXPOSURE TO PORNOGRAPHY COULD INCLUDE: Indications that pornography is interfering with day-to-day activities Less interest in human face-to-face interaction and more time spent at the computer A tendency to utilise the internet in private and to block or hide content from others when they engage with the young person at or near the computer Obsessive deletion of the browsing history Suggestions or comments that are indicative of a knowledge of sexual content above age-appropriate levels Obsessive or harmful (injurious) sexual activity (including obsessive masturbation) Fetish-like interests of a sexual nature An obsessive or high degree of anxiety, frustration or anger when denied access to pornographic websites. PORNOGRAPHY AND SEXUAL BEHAVIOUR . Access and exposure to pornography can contribute to engagement in risky sexual behaviour (Horvarth et al 2013) . Viewing pornography does not lead to engaging in sexually harmful behaviours, but adolescents who sexually abused reported more exposure to porn than those who engaged in non sexual crimes (Burton et al 2010) PORNOGRAPHY AND SEXUAL BEHAVIOUR . Research has shown that repeated exposure to pornography can lead to desensitisation about the material and contribute to the distorted views of what is considered acceptable in relationships (Shuler and Prescott), . For young people at risk, viewing of pornography had increased the likelihood of engaging in coercive sexual behaviour, sexually aggressive language and sex with animals (Owens et. al.: 2012). PORNOGRAPHY AND SEXUAL BEHAVIOR: SKAU & BARBOUR 2011 470 Adolescents (average age 19), Initial exposure to pornographic material prior to age 10 compared to age 10 or older; . Engaged in more sexually questionable acts, . Reported a desire to engage in more varied sexual behaviours, . More sexually aroused by violence, . Consume more pornography late in life, . Spend more time per week looking at pornography. (Skau and Barbour 2011 presentation at ATSA) SKAU & BARBOUR (CONT.) Skau & Barbour also highlighted the difficulties of attributing problematic behaviour to pornography, quoting Slade (2001) on the “truth” about pornography: “Some pornography under some circumstances may affect some people in some ways some of the time”. PORNOGRAPHY AND SEXUAL BEHAVIOUR Children lack the context for understanding explicit sex and may experience feelings of confusion, embarrassment and fear, Reluctance in seeking adult support to make sense of this, coupled with the child’s emotional response may lead to pornography having a disproportionate influence in a child life, A lack of alternative pictorial representations of sex and life experiences further reinforces these images. (Skau & Barbour, 2011) PORNOGRAPHY: AN INSTRUCTIONAL MANUAL? Cited studies suggest that earlier access to pornography may either contribute to or impact upon sexual development, through earlier onset sexual activity, May also impact sexually abusive behaviours, impacting upon both a young person’s interest in engaging in sexual activity and also their ability to engage successfully in sexual acts, Furthermore, desensitisation may be an issue where large quantities of hard core porn have been viewed, although again, this is only one risk factor amongst the many known, One thing seems clear: pornography provides a “how to” manual, showing every possible angle of what goes where and who can do what to whom, as well as providing sexual stimulation and shaping patterns of sexual arousal, When coupled with other risk factors present in the young person’s life, pairing the ”how to” with the sexual stimulation provided by pornography may both equip and prime youth to undertake more advanced sexual practices earlier than they otherwise might or earlier than those who have not accessed pornography, simply because they have just that - a template for what to do, based on the graphic nature of pornography. YOUTH EXHIBITING SEXUALLY ABUSIVE BEHAVIOURS The relationship between pornography exposure and engagement in sexually abusive behaviours is neither well researched nor understood, Horvarth and colleagues (2013) suggest that access and exposure to pornography may contribute to engagement in risky sexual behaviour, Burton et al. (2010) found that viewing pornography did not lead to engagement in sexually harmful behaviours; however, adolescents who sexually abused reported more exposure to porn than those who engaged in non-sexual crimes (Burton et. al., 2010), In line with these findings, for youth who were deemed “at-risk,” the viewing of pornography increased the likelihood of engaging in coercive sexual behaviour, sexually aggressive language, and sex with animals (Owens et. al., 2012), Moreover, repeated exposure to pornography was found to desensitise youth to the material viewed and to lead to distorted views of what are ”acceptable” behaviours in relationships (Prescott & Shuler, 2011). YOUTH EXHIBITING SEXUALLY ABUSIVE BEHAVIOUR This, however, does not logically lead to a firm conclusion that pornography use in particular lays a path to sexually abusive behaviour. However, it does seem to make logical sense that pornography consumption will likely impact upon and influence the development of sexual scripts, sexual behaviours, sexual interests, and sexual beliefs of young people, Given

Is Mainstream Pornography Becoming Increasingly Violent and Do Viewers Prefer Violent Content? Eran Shor and Kimberly Seida Department of Sociology, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada It is a common notion among many scholars and pundits that the pornography industry becomes “harder and harder” with every passing year. Some have suggested that porn viewers, who are mostly men, become desensitized to “soft” pornography, and producers are happy to generate videos that are more hard core, resulting in a growing demand for and supply of violent and degrading acts against women in mainstream pornographic videos. We examined this accepted wisdom by utilizing a sample of 269 popular videos uploaded to PornHub over the past decade.

Like many complex and politically contested concepts, pornography can be de✋☋ined in a number of different ways. While some de✋☋ine pornography simply as any sexually explicit written or graphic material, others include additional criteria, such as that the material be produced for the purpose of sexually arousing its audience or that the material convey certain (typically sexist and degrading) ideas and attitudes about women, men, and sexuality. While these varying approaches to de✋☋ining pornography raise questions worth exploring, for most practical purposes, it is suf✋☋icient to delimit the boundaries of the concept by pointing to the products of a speci✋☋ic and identi✋☋iable industry.

  • Increased Adult Content and Harder Core Pornography
    Sean Hannon Williams The Parallel Trends of Increased Adult Content in Mainstream Media and Harder Core Pornography: A Tale of Market Failure? INTRODUCTION Over the past fifteen years, mainstream media increasingly incorpo- rated pornographic references and themes into its content. This occurred on broadcast television, mainstream cable stations, billboards, and in print advertising. During a similar period, the adult industry’s video production skyrocketed from 1,500 new titles per year to more than 11,000. Many of these films depicted increasingly hard core acts, which the industry felt were necessary to satisfy customer demand. Although pleasingly parallel, these trends are probably not directly related. Rather, the shift to harder core pornography can most likely be traced to competition among direc- tors and actors to differentiate their work from other adult films. Part I describes the proliferation of pornography and sex in main- stream media. There are a substantial number of explicitly pornographic ref- erences in broadcast television, cable televisions, movies, and advertising. Part II documents the current financial state of the pornography industry. The pornography industry makes $10 billion per year. Reverberations between the content of mainstream media and the content of pornography would thus have a huge financial impact. Part III documents the shift toward harder core material in the pornography industry. Plot-driven pornography has been on the decline. Plotless all-sex films are now the norm. These so-called “gonzo” films often contain much more violence, and more hard core sex acts such as double penetration, fisting, and urination. Part IV examines each trend, and discusses the relationships between these parallel trends.

  • Hope, Possibility, and Cruelty: Porn Consumption and Neoliberalism's
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ASU Digital Repository Hope, Possibility, and Cruelty: Porn Consumption and Neoliberalism's Everyday Affective Subjects by Joseph Moreno A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts Approved April 2018 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Marlon M. Bailey, Chair Marisa Duarte Yasmina Katsulis ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2018 ABSTRACT In the wake of the post-2000s internet and technology boom, with the nearly simultaneous introduction of smartphones, tablet, IPads, and online video streaming, another moral panic around pornography has reared its head. While much has been written about pornography from the perspective of media analysis and, more recently, ethnographic work of the industry and with performers themselves, very little work has been done with consumers. What has been undertaken, by psychologists and antiporn academics in particular, suffers an unfortunate lack of diversity in terms of how consumers are defined. That is, psychologists and antiporn academics alike appear to think only white hetero men consume porn. This research realizes its significance through the idea that porn looks and feels differently, and expresses different meanings through the historical and intersecting relations to power of a consumer, even in the young heterosexual men that antiporn feminists are so keen on using as a strawman for all porn consumption. With the help of an intersectional affects framework, I am able to articulate the manner in which pornography puts bodies in motion before the mind undertakes a hermeneutical exercise fundamentally framed by the consumer’s knowledge and subjectivity, which muddles how antiporn’s speech act approaches presume a direct propositional transmission from a pornographic object to the consumer.
