ABSTRACT. This research sought to discover whether heterosexual, homosexual,
and transsexual pornographic films contain nonconsensual insemination or other sex
crimes, condom use, or intimate partner violence in pornographic films, and what
ideas about gender roles, sex and patriarchy are communicated to the audience. With
respect to pornography, each of these categories has been related to patriarchal
attitudes in feminist philosophy, politics, and clinical studies. Recent studies show
that commercial, mainstream pornography may not directly cause sex crimes, despite
the fact that this has been the main feminist antagonism of pornography in recent
decades. Nevertheless, patriarchal attitudes may exist in pornography, irrespective of
whether the pornography depicts sex crimes or whether viewers emulate the porno-
graphic films and commit sex crimes. Patriarchal attitudes were evident in hetero-
sexual, homosexual, and transsexual films. Manifestations of patriarchy, exhibited by
nonconsensual insemination, sex crimes, condom use, or intimate partner violence,
sometimes played out differently in heterosexual, homosexual, and transsexual films,
but sometimes they were the same. One striking difference between genders was
that there were no sex crimes in transsexual films, but public sex occurred in ninety
percent of the homosexual films. Another significant difference is that there was no
rape in heterosexual films, though there was nonconsensual insemination. Thirty
percent of homosexual films featured rape, but condom use was high. Researchers
analyzed thirty films and the significance of their findings in this article.
Keywords: transsexual, gay, straight, rape, nonconsensual insemination,
