Porn Research

Dr. Clarissa Smith has been researching pornography since the mid-1990s and has written widely about the problems of censorship and the attempts to legislate against sexually explicit materials. In the past, pornography has overwhelmingly been assumed to be a problem, and the only really important questions asked have been “How much do people encounter it, and how great is the harm that it does?”

However, Dr. Smith, Reader in Sexualities and Culture, from the University of Sunderland UK, is undertaking the largest research project ever to engage directly with the consumers of pornography, focusing on how, when and why they turn to it. Dr. Smith says, We want to know some very simple things, like what you view, how you find it, how often, what you particularly like, what is exciting and how this fits in with your feelings about sex, your body, and your pleasures. The survey takes 20-30 minutes and can be found at www.pornresearch.org
