Abstract (croatian)

Istraživanja utjecaja pornografije (seksualno eksplicitnih sadržaja) na seksualni život i zadovoljstvo uglavnom se usredotočuju na negativne posljedice konzumacije. Primjetan je i nedostatak interesa za utjecaj učestale ženske konzumacije pornografije na žensku seksualnost, pogotovo kad je on pozitivan. Ovaj se rad bavi stavovima, motivacijom i obrascima korištenja pornografije u žena mlađe životne dobi koje pornografiju učestalo koriste za vlastito seksualno zadovoljenje. Temelji se na kvalitativnom istraživanju provedenom dubinskim intervjuima sa 16 mladih žena u dobi od 20 do 29 godina koje su završile studij ili su u vrijeme istraživanja studirale. Rezultati su pokazali da su žene na konzumaciju pornografije, osim zbog zadovoljenja vlastite seksualne potrebe, motivirane znatiželjom te željom za edukacijom u svrhu proširenja vlastitog i seksualnog repertoara u paru. Ovo je istraživanje na specifičnom uzorku pokazalo da konzumacija pornografije može pozitivno utjecati na spolni život onih žena čiji su motivi za korištenje pornografije vezani uz istraživanje i obogaćivanje vlastitoga seksualnog života.

Abstract (english)

Research into the influence of pornography (sexually explicit material) on the sexual life and satisfaction of women is largely concentrated on the negative consequences of such consumption. There is a notable lack of interest in the influence on female sexuality of frequent female consumption of pornography, particularly when it is positive. This paper deals with attitudes, motivation and patterns of pornography consumption among young women who frequently use pornography to satisfy their own sexual needs. It is based on qualitative research carried out by way of in-depth interviews with 16 women aged between 20 and 29, who were engaged in higher education or had already earned a degree. The results have shown that, apart from satisfying their own sexual needs, women are also motivated by curiosity and a desire to learn for the purpose of broadening their own sexual repertoire and their repertoire with a partner. Carried out on a specific sample, this study has shown that consumption of pornography can have a positive influence on those women whose motives for its consumption are related to exploration and enrichment of their own sexual experience.
