What do pornography consumers say they understand: A systematic review and thematic analysis
What do pornography consumers say they understand: A systematic review and thematic analysis
A systematic review (SR) was conducted as part of an Australian Research Council funded interdisciplinary project on different ways of understanding pornography’s relationships with its audiences. The focus was on whether people who consume pornography have a better understanding of how pornography works; for example, the extent to which they view porn as representing a reality. After exclusions, seven articles were eligible for inclusion; these were thematically analysed based on Braun and Clarke guidelines. Four broad themes relating to how consumers understand pornography were revealed: education, fiction/fantasy, perceived realism and media literacy. Analysis of the results indicates that porn literacy is a complicated issue. Explanations and limitations will be provided.

Abstract
A systematic review (SR) was conducted as part of an Australian Research Council funded interdisciplinary project on different ways of understanding pornography’s relationships with its audiences. The focus was on whether people who consume pornography have a better understanding of how pornography works; for example, the extent to which they view porn as representing a reality. After exclusions, seven articles were eligible for inclusion; these were thematically analysed based on Braun and Clarke guidelines. Four broad themes relating to how consumers understand pornography were revealed: education, fiction/fantasy, perceived realism and media literacy. Analysis of the results indicates that porn literacy is a complicated issue. Explanations and limitations will be provided.
