Talk Description
Every year major online adult entertainment sites record billions of visits, with Australia often ranked among the ‘top 20’ countries for porn viewing. Despite its popularity, porn remains (y)our ‘dirty little secret’ – a socially taboo topic and a highly stigmatised and stereotyped form of entertainment and labour. In this talk we’ll take a whirlwind tour of global and Australian trends in online porn consumption and reveal the porn preferences of Australians at national, state and local levels.
