As part of a larger interdisciplinary project which consisted of a series of systematic reviews of literature on the relationship between pornography use and healthy sexual development, we reviewed articles addressing the relationship between pornography use and literacy. We found few articles that present empirical data to discuss porn literacies, and those we found commonly frame young people's porn literacy as their ability to critically read porn as negative and comprising 'unrealistic' portrayals of sex. This model of porn literacy tends to be heteronormative, where only conservative ideals of 'good', coupled, and vanilla sex are deemed 'realistic'. Data from the literature we reviewed shows that young people make sophisticated distinctions between different kinds of pornography, some of which could be called 'realistic', as per do-it-yourself and amateur porn. We extend this discussion to young people's understandings of 'authenticity' across their broader digital and social media practices. From this focus, we propose the need to incorporate young people's existing porn literacies into future education and research approaches. This includes engaging with their understandings and experiences of porn genres, digital media practice, and representations of authenticity. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Sexuality & Culture is a copyright of Springer, 2021.
