“…). Instead of writing off pornography as violence writ large, contemporary “sexademics” analyze the sociopolitics of the porn industry and explore issues such as racism among performers (Landes and Neilsen ), consent (Brennan ; Groeneveld ; Kleinig ; Scott ), porn tourism (Jackson, Sahl, and Brents ; Mars, Yeoman, and McMahon‐Beattie ), porn politics and economics (Wilkinson ), and moral panics around porn (Keilty ; Ley ).…”

Much contemporary debate about pornography centers on its role in portraying and perpetuating gender inequality. This article compares traditional gendered attitudes between cisgender men attending the Adult Entertainment Expo (n = 294) and a random sample of male respondents from the 2016 General Social Survey (GSS), a U.S. representative survey of general attitudes and beliefs collected every two years (n = 863). Our survey borrowed questions from the GSS to measure attitudes about gender equality across four dimensions: (1) working mothers, (2) women in politics, (3) traditional gender roles in the family, and (4) affirmative action for women in the workplace. Through bivariate analyses, we found that “porn superfans” are no more sexist or misogynistic than the general U.S. public on two of the four measures (women in politics and women in the general workplace) and held more progressive gender‐role attitudes than the general public on the other two measures. We conducted binary logistic regressions for those two measures to determine if the relationship remained significant when controlling for other factors. For one dimension, working mothers, it did (p < .001). Our results call into question some of the claims that porn consumption fosters de facto negative and hostile attitudes toward women.

“…This overlooked area is greatly surprising given the large business associated with online pornography. The online commercial adult industry is worth about US$ 97 billon (Keilty, 2018). Every year, about 600 adult movies are released in Hollywood, netting a profit of US$ 10 billion (Strange But True, 2017).…”

“…Owners of these adult websites thus opt for substantially sophisticated algorithms in order to attract and retain large volumes of traffic. Visitor's browsing behavior is also stored and analyzed in order to personalize pornographic materials to fit each visitor (Keilty, 2018).…”

“…People have long been enjoying pornography materials. According to McCormick, et al (2017), adult content has become well accepted since its printed version with the format evolving into video and now as an online platform accessible through desktop computers, tablets, or mobiles (Kimball, 2017;Keilty, 2018;Johnson, 2011). Given a statement from Pornhub Insights (2017), only 1% of the traffic to Pornhub in 2008 was from mobile devices; in 2017, it was 75%.…”

An Empirical Analysis of the Pageview and Visit Duration of Pornography Websites

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A positive relationship between pageview and visit duration has been identified for several types of websites, including retail. However, pornography websites offer such explicitly sexual content that viewers might stay on one page so long that it could distort the positivity. Yet, no empirical work has investigated this matter and little has focused on visit behavior to adult websites. Based on 473,840 visit sessions to pornography websites targeting both (1) the public and (2) the homosexual viewers, the 0.771 correlation coefficient between the pageview and the visit duration is statistically significant. It confirms that these two variables are positively related in the online pornography context. We also found that the viewer’s sexual orientation may have a moderating effect on the relationship between them. In addition to extending the theoretical insights into online visit behavior to pornography websites, online practitioners may apply the findings in order to retain visitors to their websites.
