Hijab Pornography: A Content Analysis of Internet Pornographic Videos.
Open Access: No.
Abstract
A content analysis was conducted to explore sexual indicators of aggression, objectification, exploitation, and agency in 50 “hijab” pornographic videos. Our findings suggest that women were the target of aggressive acts in all videos, with gagging (42%) and spanking (38%) being the most common. Also, in comparison with men, women were more likely to be objectified and exploited, and less likely to possess agency. Limitations of the current study and directions for future research are detailed.
Relevance
In all the video analyzed, “only women were the targets of aggression.” The most frequent acts of aggression were gagging and spanking; other common acts (more than 10%) were confining, insulting, pushing, slapping, verbal threatening, and choking (non-fatal strangulation). In all the videos, too, the women were more objectified than the men. In those videos coded as depicting exploitation, only women were exploited or targets. In most videos, women were submissive, while the men were dominant.
