Consumo e efeitos da pornografia, práticas sexuais violentas e desigualdade de gênero

Abstract

This study presents a theoretical-conceptual discussion about the issues that permeate the consumption of pornography. This is a theoretical study carried out through bibliographic research of specialized literature with the aim of conceptualizing pornography, presenting how it came about and its popularization process on the Internet, describing the phenomenon of gender-based violence and point out the possible association and predilection with pornography, identifying the direct effects on the viewer of sexually explicit content and on society, as well as proposing reflections and discussions on ways of intervention that seek gender equity and mitigation of violence against women. The article selection was made through a search for keywords related to the mentioned topics in research databases such as Periódicos Capes, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Periódicos Eletrônicos de Psicologia (PePSIC) and Behavioral and Brain Science Research. Studies by authors from national and international literature were analyzed, with a greater presence of foreign articles due to the lack of more in-depth Brazilian research on pornography, which highlights the need for more attention to the topic, as the absence of research limits the construction of political and social proposals in the territory.
