A group of researchers are challenging stereotypes about male porn superfans. A study published in the journal Sociological Forum suggests that on some measures these men are no more sexist than your average man—and on others, they hold more progressive beliefs around gender. The researchers presented 294 men attending a porn expo with a handful of statements relating to gender equality and compared their answers to a general population survey of 863 men.

They found that porn superfans “are no more sexist or misogynistic than the general U.S. Public,” and also the superfans “held more progressive gender‐role attitudes than the general public.” The researchers elaborated in an editorial: “Over 90 percent of porn superfans—compared to just over 70 percent of the [general population]—agreed that working mothers can have just as warm and secure relationships with their children than non-working mothers.” The researchers argue that their findings “challenge what porn scholars call the ‘negative effects paradigm,’ which sees porn as an inherently bad thing that cultivates harmful attitudes.”
