- English abstract
- This article examines responses from under-18s to a complex quail-quant questionnaire on pornography. Public framings of young people’s engagements with porn emphasize ‘exposure’, ‘risk’ and ‘addiction’ but this research identifies that under-18s have much more complex understandings of the role of pornography in their lives. Respondents recount varied experiences, revealing pornography to be both mundane and important. Perhaps most significantly, accounts reveal awareness of being talked about, of being framed as individuals who must be managed and protected, while at the same time being excluded from discussion or debate about what interventions might be most useful.
