- [Coming Out Like a Porn Star](https://www.postporn.org/coming-out-like-a-porn-star/): Edited by Jiz LeeEssays on Pornography, Protection, and Privacy For porn stars, “coming out” is a process that never ends. To the uninitiated, the idea of a career in the adult film industry may come with stigma that porn performers and sex workers have long fought to shake off. For many, that fight begins with one awkward conversation.  When Coming Out Like a Porn Star was first published in 2015, it garnered cult status as an anthology of candidly intimate essays by diverse adult industry professionals and icons, relating the pain, pride, and surprises that accompanied their experiences coming out… Read More »Forum

DeKeseredy, West Virginia University https://doi.org/10.23860/dignity.2022.07.03.05 Year 2022 Abstract: In this current era characterized by much fear of, and anxiety about, the political influence and actions of the U.S. alternative right (alt-right), only a small number of men’s rights organizations receive attention from the media, the Democratic Party, or a large cadre of progressives. This article demonstrates that ignoring all-male anti-feminist organizations is a flawed strategy for challenging the recent rise of the alt-right because these misogynistic groups are heavily involved in the gun rights movement, major contributors to racist practices and discourses, and active participants in efforts to… Read More »Forum

At the same time, heterosexual pornographic content has become increasingly accessible, and misogynistic beliefs are protected on various user-run forums. Male dominance in heterosexual pornography, the prevalence of rape myth acceptance, Incel slang, and the strong brotherhood bonds present in Incel communities may be radicalizing factors to encourage young American men to adopt Incel ideology. This literature review seeks to highlight the relationship between… Read More »Forum

With an interdisciplinary approach which involves a Corpus Linguistics analysis of Reddit forum data, research into digital behaviors, and a feminist critique, this article focuses on the commonalities between the language of pornography and that of Incels. In doing so, it demonstrates how both pornography and Incels are different manifestations of the same misogyny. The findings of this study highlight the normalization of violence against women (VAW), which continues to be endemic in society, enabled and exacerbated by… Read More »Forum
- [From Non-consensual Pornography to Image-based Sexual Abuse: Charting the Course of a Problem with Many Names](https://www.postporn.org/from-non-consensual-pornography-to-image-based-sexual-abuse-charting-the-course-of-a-problem-with-many-names/): Sophie Maddocks, School of Media Studies, The New School, New York, NY, USA https://doi.org/10.1080/08164649.2018.1542592 Year 2018 ABSTRACT: Every day, people’s most intimate moments are recorded, uploaded and circulated online without their consent. This gross invasion of privacy – commonly known as ‘revenge pornography’ – has become part of the scenery in cyberspace. But the name ‘revenge pornography’ fails to communicate the scope and severity of this harm. It is a victim blaming term that risks misdirecting government policy and misinforming the public. So, in order to mobilise against ‘revenge porn’, activists have begun renaming it. ‘Non-consensual pornography’, ‘image-based sexual abuse’,… Read More »Forum

Simultaneously, we have witnessed the potential for Incel ideas to find expression in disturbing outbursts of extremist violence. This paper uses existing research to consider what we know and what we need to find out about this milieu if we are to further our knowledge and understanding.… Read More »Forum

Torres. In this book, the author mixes autobiographical details with personal reflections that have motivated her work and includes a selection of pornoterrorista poetry. Through a close reading of the narrative and poetic voice, this essay shows how Pornoterrorismo constructs a transfeminist discourse of radical negativity based on the discursive figure of the dyke as a fractured, monstrous subject that ultimately expands the realm of queer negativity. First, I focus on… Read More »Forum
- [The value of print, the value of porn](https://www.postporn.org/the-value-of-print-the-value-of-porn/): Daniel Cardosoa Department of Sociology, Manchester Metropolitan University, UKSusanna Paasonen Department of Media Studies, University of Turku, Turku, Finland https://doi.org/10.1080/23268743.2020.1760125 Year 2019 ABSTRACT: As the distribution of pornography has shifted online, the markets for DVDs and print magazines have drastically shrunk. At the same time, a range of independent and artistic magazines on pornography and sexual cultures has appeared, operating primarily on paper. By focusing on Ménage à trois, a Finnish queer-feminist porn magazine (established 2012), and Phile, a Toronto-based magazine on ‘sexual curiosity’ (established 2017), this article inquires after the affordances, appeal, and value of physical print artefacts in… Read More »Forum

We propose that ‘post-pornography’ expands Porn Studies beyond its focus on explicit representations of sex. First, we outline the history of post-pornography as a concept that emerged in the sex-positive, anti-censorship and queer/feminist moment in the United States in the 1980s and 1990s and has subsequently been taken up by a diverse group of artists, activists and scholars to describe practices that both reference and attempt to move beyond pornography. We define post-pornography as characterised… Read More »Forum

- [Feminism and Pornography: From Mainstream Pornography (Hetero-Patriarchal) to Post-Porn (Non Binary)](https://www.postporn.org/feminism-and-pornography-from-mainstream-pornography-hetero-patriarchal-to-post-porn-non-binary/): Ana Valero Heredia, Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha https://doi.org/10.17561/tahrj.v18.7025 Year 2022 Abstract: Along with prostitution, and more recently surrogate motherhood, pornography has been a contentious issue within the feminist movement ever since the 1970s. Perceived by abolitionists as the prelude to rape, for pro-Sex feminists it represents an ideal vehicle for expressing desire for women and minority sexual identities, and has a considerable transformative capacity. The latter school of thought proposes a paradigm shift and has aligned itself with Queer Theory, which advocates a non-binary approach to sexual identities through Post-porn. This study critically analyses the main arguments put forward by… Read More »Forum
