ABSTRACT

Insemination is a sex act that requires consent. Legally, expressed consent eliminates any doubt that consent was absent, especially because the absence of objection does not imply consent. The researcher examined how the content of online pornography depicts expressed consent for insemination. The hypothesis accurately predicted that some films would express consent, some would ambiguously discuss ejaculation or consent, and some would remain silent on the subject. This research is important because it offers insight into how pornographic film actors appear to express consent. This research opens the door to future research on the subjects of nonconsensual insemination, expressed consent, and pornographic depictions of these themes.
