När fiktion blir verklighet : En litteraturstudie om pornografins inverkan på ungdomars intima relationer / When fiction becomes reality : A literature study on the impact of pornography on adolescents’ intimate relationships

Young women have testified about how they feel forced to agree to hard sex that leaves them with pain and injuries. The aim of this study is to examine if there is a link between pornography and violence in adolescents’ intimate relationships. By using a theory that conducts that pornography consumers develops a sexual callousness, this study has analyzed materials selected through a coding process to answer the research questions and achieve the purpose of the study. A certain connection between pornography and violence was found as adolescents tend to use pornography as a way to get inspired and to learn about sex. When mainstream pornography contains violence and when school offer inadequate sex education, pornography sends out a one-sided depiction of sex that isn’t questioned or challenged. The author reached the conclusion that adolescents today are affected by pornography in a different way than older generations, because of how easily accessible internet pornography is today and because of how pornography has been normalized through media and therefor turned more hardcore. Further studies are considered necessary in order to investigate how the consequences of pornography can be prevented among adolescents, and measures has to be taken to educate teachers in order to give children and adolescents adequate sex education.
