Abstract

GONNET-WAINMAYER, Marcel. Medical Peep Show. Uses of pornography in assisted reproductive treatments and fertility clinics. Rev Med Cine [online]. 2023, vol.19, n.3, pp.193-201.  Epub Mar 13, 2024. ISSN 1885-5210.  https://dx.doi.org/10.14201/rmc.30204.

This work intends to trace some experiences on the use of pornography in clinical environments and raise questions about the type of fruition that occurs in these spaces, the materiality, and the dispositions in which the patient/spectator is involved. The article begins with a bibliographic review on the so-called Positive Porn, to then trace a brief genealogy of the first devices dedicated to solitary consumption of erotic or pornographic material, and finally advances in a description of current devices and their dynamics in medical institutions in the United States, Argentina and Brazil.

Keywords : positive porn; assisted reproductive treatments; pornography; porn studies.
