Angela C. Davis, Meredith J. Temple-Smith, Elise Carrotte, Margaret E. Hellard, Megan S. C. Lim Increased access to online pornography has led to concerns about the effect on young people’s sexual health. Despite viewing less often than young men, young women view pornography. This research aimed to describe pornography use and reflections on the influence of this use, among a sample of young Australian women. Findings reveal both positive and negative experiences among young women who view pornography and draw attention to the need for inclusive research methods to understand this complex sexual health issue.
