Abstract

Tamil Nadu is an Indian state with different cultural trends in marriage, including endogamy, post-marital residence, spousal differences in age and education, and the extent of women’s say in the timing of marriage and choosing a partner, and disbursal of dowries. Even today, sex remains a topic of controversy, linked to immoral and voyeuristic values, especially in a patriarchal heteronormative society, like Coimbatore. With limited research available on the experiences of women watching porn, the researchers attempted to know and understand how the women of Coimbatore
viewed pornography, simply from a voyeuristic perspective. In-depth interviews were conducted with ten women (natives and residents of Coimbatore), from diversified backgrounds. Discussions related to porn consumption, meanings, risks, dangers, experiences and pleasures associated with it were initiated. The findings of the study offered basic insights into the topics discussed, which may be helpful in normalizing women's experiences, promote a healthier and more open discourse about pornography consumption among Coimbatore women.
