Pornografi och aggressioner : En kvantitativ innehållsanalys av aggressioner, förnedrande beteende och samtycke inom populär pornografi bland svenska män

Sammanfattning: Consuming pornography is common among Swedish men. The content is often problematized in the public debate because of the common reflection of it containing violence against women as well as depicting women as the subordinate gender. By conducting a quantitative content analysis, the study intended to examine the extent of degradation as well as depictions of physical and verbal aggression in mainstream pornography. An attempt was also conducted to assess whether pornography can be claimed to counteract a functioning consent culture by examining the extent of orchestrated consent expressed by the participating women. Out of 200 videos that were analyzed, degrading behavior and verbal and physical aggressions occurred in 114 (57%) videos. In total, 746 individual cases of aggressions and degradation were observed. Men were mostly the perpetrator committing 96.7% of the actions, whereas the victims were solely female. Consent was observed in 85.5% of the videos and was expressed mostly through a positive or neutral behavior by the woman.
