Sociocultural Context of Gender Determinated Approach to Pornography

Snježana DELALIĆ

Abstract

The aim of the survey was to examine gendered attitudes
toward pornography, as well as justifications for its
consumption. The questionnaire was administered to 123
female and male students at the University of Zagreb. The
hypothesis stating gender-specific differences in perception
and consumption of pornography was confirmed on three
levels: the behavioral level, the level of attractiveness of
pornography, and the level of attitudes. The results indicate
that students (of both sexes) perceive pornography as
primarily concentrated on the male audience. The hypothesis
stating that different social conceptualization of male and
female sexuality is related to the level of pornography
consumption was also tested and confirmed. In conclusion, a
brief discussion on (post)modern changes in gender-specific
perception of pornography is offered.
