Abstract:
Pornography consumption may negatively impact Black men\'s and women\'s genital self-image. Poor genital self-image is linked to negative mental health outcomes and sexual dysfunction. Despite this, little work has examined genital self-image among Black men and women, a group whose genital self-image may be informed by racist-gendered stereotypes and perceived expectations for genital grooming. The purpose of this multigenerational qualitative study is to examine how pornography impacts genital self-image and grooming for Black heterosexual men and women. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with participants (n = 20) across four generational cohorts. An inductive content analysis resulted in three categories and four subcategories. All participants reported pornography consumption at some point in their lifetime. The degree of influence on their genital self-image and grooming was categorized in four ways: no influence, perceived influence, and direct influence, and resisting influence. There were four subcategories within the perceived and direct influence categories: pubic hair grooming & preferences, designer vaginas, penis size, and partnered expectations. Black men and women differed in their reported influence of porn on genital self-image and grooming. Implications of findings for pornography creators, sex educators, and sex partners are discussed.
摘要:
色情消费可能会对黑人男性和女性的生殖器自我形象产生负面影响。不良的生殖器自我形象与负面的心理健康结果和性功能障碍有关。尽管如此,很少有工作研究黑人男性和女性的生殖器自我形象,一个这样的群体,其生殖器的自我形象可能被种族主义性别的刻板印象和对生殖器修饰的预期所告知。这项多代定性研究的目的是研究色情如何影响黑人异性恋男女的生殖器自我形象和修饰。对四代队列的参与者(n=20)进行了半结构化定性访谈。归纳内容分析产生了三个类别和四个子类别。所有参与者都在其一生中的某个时候报告了色情消费。对生殖器自我形象和修饰的影响程度分为四种:无影响,感知的影响,和直接影响,抵制影响。在感知和直接影响类别中有四个子类别:阴毛修饰和偏好,设计师阴道,阴茎大小,和合作伙伴的期望。据报道,黑人男性和女性在色情对生殖器自我形象和修饰的影响方面有所不同。调查结果对色情创作者的影响,性教育者,和性伴侣讨论。
