  • So, uni student is working hard to fill the void
  • Wanted: People with experience viewing porn

IT may sound impossible to believe but Australians know next to nothing about internet pornography.

University of Western Sydney postgraduate student Emma Pinn is undertaking a study of internet pornography to fill an academic research void.

Her study will aim to identify links between adult fantasy tendencies and use of pornography as well as the impact technology has had on viewing habits.

The internet and the relative privacy it provides to obtain materials has changed the face of pornography in the past 20 years.

While research has been conducted overseas a Canadian study "couldn't find two guys who haven't looked at pornography" there have been very few Australian studies.

"We don't know a lot about the Australian population and their use of pornography, their patterns," Ms Pinn said.


"While we know a few things about internet pornography, we do not know a lot, and what we do know is mostly clinical anecdotes.

"There's not a lot of data to back those up so I'm undertaking a study to find that empirical data and also the impact pornography can have on relationships and sexual desire of partners."

She defines pornography as "the graphic depiction of sexual activity showing exposed genitalia between two people engaged in a sexual act".

Ms Pinn is seeking people to complete an online survey that examines the impact looking at online porn could have on romantic relationships as well as how people view pornography.

Survey results will be kept anonymous.
