Abstract

ABSTRACT To date, porn literacy research has mostly focused on school-based porn literacy education. This education commonly seeks to warn young people about pornography, and to inoculate them against its perceived harms. This approach fails to consider porn literacies in the context of a current media literacy framework, and rarely explores young people's digital cultures that are central to their porn engagements.
