Surveying Pornography Use: A Shaky Science Resting on Poor Measurement Foundations

“…Pornographic media are complex stimuli (D. ; although they primarily involve the depiction of nudity and sexual behavior (Kohut, 2014), the manner and context in which this is represented differ tremendously from stimulus to stimulus. A review of content analyses of pornographic materials reveals substantial variation in depictions of nudity and sexual activity across a range of content-dimensions (see Barron & Kimmel, 2000;Bogaert, Turkovich, & Hafer, 1993;Bridges, Wosnitzer, Scharrer, Sun, & Liberman, 2010;Brosius, Weaver, & Staab, 1993;Cowan & Campbell, 1994;Cowan, Lee, Levy, & Snyder, 1988;Dietz & Evans, 1982;Fritz & Paul, 2017;Garcia & Milano, 1991;Gossett & Byrne, 2002;Harmon & Boeringer, 1997;Klaassen & Peter, 2015;Mehta & Plaza, 1997;Paasonen, 2006;Palmer, 1979;Palys, 1986;Rosegrant, 1986;Scott & Cuvelier, 1987b, 1987aSmith, 1976;Vannier, Currie, & O'Sullivan, 2014;Winick, 1985;Yang & Linz, 1990).

Sexually Explicit Media on the Internet: A Content Analysis of Sexual Behaviors, Risk, and Media Characteristics in Gay Male Adult Videos

“…Although this methodology has been applied to investigate SEM content, these studies have primarily included print materials (Palmer, 1979; Smith, 1976), heterosexual videos (Bridges, Wosnitzer, Scharrer, Sun, & Liberman, 2010; Brosius, Weaver, & Staab, 1993; Green, 2004; McKee, Albury, & Lumby, 2008; Palys, 1986), and websites marketing sexually violent content against women (Gossett & Byrne, 2002). A recent study compared the prevalence of condom use in both heterosexual and male homosexual films on DVD (Grudzen et al, 2009).…”

Age is in the Eye of the Beholder: Examining the Cues Employed to Construct the Illusion of Youth in Teen Pornography

“…In general, the researchers found many characteristic examples of youth sexualized content described by other researchers (Cowan et al, 1988;Jensen, 2010;Jensen & Dines, 1998;Matacin & Burger, 1987;Mehta & Plaza, 1997;Palmer, 1979).…”

“…It is not a relatively new phenomenon, and occurs across multiple pornographic media (Cowan et al, 1988;Jensen, 2010;Jensen & Dines, 1998;Mehta & Plaza, 1997;Palmer, 1979). Although "teen" pornography on the Internet has been described in some detail (see , to the researchers' knowledge, no published study has attempted to formally analyze the content of this popular genre.…”

“…This coding sheet is divided into various categories, which were created (primarily) using previous content analyses as a guide (Cowan et al, 1988;Jensen, 2010;Jensen & Dines, 1998;Matacin & Burger, 1987;Mehta & Plaza, 1997;Palmer, 1979). Content categories were: "textual references," "the sexualizing subject-sexualized object relationship" (a distinction borrowed from Jensen, 2010), "appearance of the sexualized object," "props," "setting," "the sexualizing subject," and "behaviour of the sexualized object."…”
