Abstract [sv]

Pornografi är ett omdebatterat fenomen och har främst förknippats med mäns konsumtion. Föreliggande studie syftade till att undersöka vilken mening pornografi har för kvinnor som regelbundet använder pornografi. En kvalitativ intervjuundersökning utfördes med sju unga kvinnor mellan 20–30 år. Empirin analyserades tematiskt utifrån teorin om sexuella script och begreppen intimitetstrubbel samt sexuell empowerment. Resultatet fann att pornografi har betydelse för kvinnors sexualitet. Pornografi hjälper dem att utforska kropp, upphetsning, sexuella preferenser och sexuell identitet. Pornografi ger kunskap och inspiration och betraktas som ett sätt att äga sin sexualitet. Men pornografi ger även upphov till ambivalens, särskilt kopplat till kulturella scenarier kring pornografi som skadligt och synen på pornografi som kvinnoförtryck. Detta påverkar informanternas intrapsykiska script genom hur de använder och relaterar till pornografi. Trots detta har kvinnorna aktiva strategier för att söka upp den pornografi de finner upphetsande.

Abstract [en]

Pornography is a well-debated phenomenon and is often treated as a male issue. The present study aimed to move beyond this view and investigate the possible meaning of pornography for young women. Seven young women who consumed pornography regularly were interviewed using a qualitative method. The empirics was analyzed thematically using sexual scripting theory and the concepts of intimate trouble and sexual empowerment. The result showed that pornography bears meaning for young women’s sexuality. Using pornography, they explore their sexuality, sexual identities and their preferences. Pornography is seen as a means for owning one’s sexuality. At the same time, pornography is a source of ambivalence. Cultural scenarios treating pornography as a danger and as misogynic oppression affect the women’s intrapsychic scripting and therefore the way they relate to pornography. Still, the women are seen as having developed active strategies to handle this kind of intimate trouble and find the kind of pornography they find exciting.
