Porn websites promote 'sexually violent' acts: One in eight videos displayed to first-time users on the UK's leading adult sites include content such as rape, upskirting and incest, study warns
UK investigation shows violent porn is regularly promoted to first-time visitors
Pornhub, Xhamster and Xvideos all showcase content describing criminal acts
These include rape, upskirting and incest, plus other non-consensual content
One in eight videos displayed to first-time users on the UK's most popular pornography websites depict sexually violent, coercive or non-consensual content, a new study reveals.
The three most popular porn sites in the UK – Pornhub, Xhamster and Xvideos – all showcase content describing criminal acts, such as rape, upskirting and incest, on their home pages, according to UK researchers.
In their analysis of nearly 150,000 video titles on the three sites' homepages, the most frequent form of sexual violence related to sexual activity between family members, followed by physical aggression and sexual assault.
Easy access of such content is distorting the boundary between sexual pleasure and sexual violence and 'feeding a culture in which non-consent and sexual violence are not taken seriously', the study authors say.
The ready availability of sexually violent content 'represents a stark failure' in the duty of care that porn companies have towards their users, they add.
