Pornografi konsumeras dagligen av många, samtidigt ses det som en riskfaktor för milda attityder till sexuellt våld. Pornografins skadliga konsekvenser är omdiskuterat och det föreligger brister gällande kunskapen om dess samband med sexuella attityder. Den aktuella studien syftade till att undersöka attityder gällande sexuellt våld mot kvinnor relaterat till pornografikonsumtion och kön. En tvärsnittsdesign användes och datainsamling genomfördes via en webbenkät där totalt 449 respondenter deltog (130 män; 319 kvinnor). Resultatet påvisade ett signifikant positivt samband mellan attityder till sexuellt våld och pornografikonsumtion bland män men inte bland kvinnor. En signifikant skillnad i attityder påvisades mellan de med hög respektive låg pornografikonsumtion bland kvinnor men inte bland män. Män hade mildare attityder till sexuellt våld och högre pornografikonsumtion än kvinnor. Slutligen hade de som ofta konsumerade pornografi med våldsinslag mildare attityder än de som sällan gjorde det. För att motverka pornografins skadliga konsekvenser är ett förslag att reglera produktion och konsumtion av pornografi, samt satsa på normkritisk sexualundervisning i skolan. / Pornography is daily consumed by many, at the same time it is regarded as a risk factor for more positive attitudes towards sexual violence. The harmful consequences of pornography is controversial and there is a lack of knowledge regarding its relationship with sexual attitudes. The purpose of the present study was to examine attitudes toward sexual violence against women related to pornography consumption and gender. A cross-sectional study design was used and the data were collected through an online survey with a total of 449 respondents (130 men; 319 women). The results showed a significant positive relationship between attitudes toward sexual violence and pornography in men but not in women. A difference between those who had a high respectively low pornography consumption were found in women but not men. Men had more positive attitudes toward sexual violence and also reported a higher consumption compared to women. Finally, individuals who often consumed violent pornography had milder attitudes than those who rarely did so. To counteract the harmful consequences of pornography, a suggestion is to regulate the production and consumption of pornography as well as investing in norm-critical sexual education in school.

The topic of this thesis is the effect of pornography consumption on the partner sexual activity.

Denna studie tar avstamp i den samhälleliga debatten om pornografi och dess påverkan och konsekvenser bland unga. Syftet är därmed att undersöka hur upplevelsen av pornografi beskrivs av unga killar samt hur den eventuellt påverkar både dem själva och andra samt deras relationer. Undersökningen baseras på en kvalitativ forskningsmetod där empirin består av fritextsvar från 380 stycken respondenter. Fritextsvaren utgår från en Sifo-undersökning som släpptes våren 2022 på initiativ av organisationen MÄN, där killar i 13-25 årsåldern medverkat. Studiens empiri har analyserats med hjälp av en tematisk analysmetod samt utifrån kategorierna attityder, konsumtion och påverkan. Med hjälp av ett teoretiskt ramverk bestående social inlärningsteori och sexuella script samt relevant forskning på området visar studiens resultat och slutsatser att killar i stor utsträckning har en negativ inställning till pornografi. Attityder är något som formas i en social kontext och utgår huvudsakligen från normer och värderingar. Killar har ett behov av att utforska sin sexualitet där pornografin fungerar som ett verktyg, samtidigt upplever killar en påverkan av pornografi där den till stor del beskrivs som negativ. Sammanfattningsvis kan vi se att det finns ett behov av samtal och vägledning där vuxenvärlden lyser med sin frånvaro. / This study finds its origins in the social debate about pornography and the impact and consequences it has on adolescents. The aim is to examine their experiences of pornography in regards to themselves, their peers and to explore its influence on their relationships. (Un)desire is based on a study completed by Sifo about young men’s pornography consumption between the ages of 13-25. The study was published in Spring 2022 and was initially commissioned by the organisation MÄN. It used qualitative research methods where the research material consisted of open ended questions that were given to a total of 380 participants. The research material has been analysed using a thematic analytical method and took three categorical viewpoints into consideration: attitude, consumption and impact. By using theories consisting of social learning theory, sexual script and relevant research this study finds that young men generally have a negative attitude towards pornography. Attitudes, norms and values regarding pornography are most often constructed through the process of socialisation. Pornography is being used by young men as a tool to explore their sexualities however, it predominantly has a negative influence. Finally, there is an absence of conversation and guidance from adults around pornography which adds to the negative impact it has on young men.

[pt] Hirschman (1992) lançou bases para uma teoria de consumo compulsivo, a partir de estudo conduzido com consumidores de drogas, de álcool e de jogos de azar. O surgimento da Internet trouxe nova forma de consumo compulsivo, a pornografia on-line, com diferenças significativas dos estudados por Hirschman. Uma vez que pouco se conhece sobre o assunto, buscou-se ampliar o conhecimento sobre consumo compulsivo identificando antecedentes e consequências, a partir de relatos de participantes de um grupo brasileiro de suporte on-line que se autodeclaram dependentes. Baseada em interpretação hermenêutica, foi feita netnografia em 9 mil mensagens e discussões em 20 diários de membros da comunidade. Foram identificados seis grupos de antecedentes (percepção de risco, emoções negativas, compulsão em série, mudança relevante de vida e fácil acesso ao consumo) e consequências (percepção da compulsão, objetificação da mulher, queda da autoestima, problemas pessoais e profissionais, depressão e pensamento suicida e disturbios sexuais). Em seguida, foram conduzidas 15 entrevistas com participantes voluntários, para aprofundar o entendimento sobre categorias levantadas. Os resultados revelam que, embora os sete temas identificados por Hirschman estejam presentes nos relatos, outros temas, como objetificação da mulher, perda do senso de masculinidade e distúrbios sexuais parecem ser próprios do consumo de pornografia. / [en] Hirschman (1992) opened the way for a compulsive consumption theory from the study conducted with drugs, alcohol and gambling-addicted. The emergence of the Internet brought with it a new form of compulsive consumption: the online pornography and its peculiarities in relation to Hirschman s study. Since little is known from the subject, we sought to magnify the knowledge on compulsive consumption by the identification of a Brazilian group of online support for auto declared dependents. Based on hermeneutical interpretation, it was made netnography with nine thousand messages and discussions on 20 diaries of members of the community. There were identified six groups of precedents (risk perception, negative emotions, simultaneous addiction, role transition, easy access of consumption) and consequences (perceived addiction, woman objectification, low self-esteem, personal and professional problems, depression and suicidal thought and sexual disorders). Next, fifteen phenomenological interviews were conducted with voluntary participants to deepen the understanding of the identified categories. The results reveal that besides the seven themes pointed by Hirschman that were present on the reports, other themes, such as women objectification, loss of sense of masculinity and sexual disturbances seem to be intrinsic to pornography consumption.
