Pornography is now only an internet search away, and
is becoming ever more immersive. How is it changing
people’s behaviour, relationships and desires?
By Jessica Brown
Few things are truly universal. But while people
across the world speak different languages, eat
different foods and even feel different emotions,
millions across the world watch porn. Despite
being so widely consumed, porn is maligned as
the source of society’s ills. It’s even been labelled
a public health hazard by politicians in Utah. Porn
has transformed over the past few decades, due
to the availability of the internet and faster web
connections. It is also becoming more immersive
than ever before. Take virtual reality. Earlier this
year, researchers from Newcastle University in
the UK pointed out that VR changes the
experience of porn from detached observer to
protagonist. They warned that this has the
potential to blur the line between reality and
fantasy, perhaps damaging relationships and
encouraging harmful behaviour. […] So what does
the more recent research say? One review of
more than 80 studies in 2009 concluded that
evidence of a causal link between porn use and
violence is slim, and any findings proving a
connection are often exaggerated by the media
and politicians. “It is time to discard the
hypothesis that pornography contributes to
increased sexual assault behaviour”, wrote the
authors.

Gabarito Comentado – Questão de Interpretação de Texto | Reading Comprehension – Vestibular
Tema central: O texto analisa o impacto da pornografia sobre o comportamento humano, especialmente à luz de pesquisas científicas sobre a relação entre consumo de pornografia e violência.
Estratégias de resolução: Para interpretar textos em inglês de concursos, recomenda-se aplicar skimming (captar a ideia geral rapidamente), scanning (buscar informações específicas) e inferências contextuais (deduzir o sentido de informações usando palavras-chave como evidence, causal link e exaggerated).
Justificativa da alternativa correta (A):
A alternativa A destaca que o texto discute efeitos da pornografia no comportamento e pontua que estudos afirmam não haver relação direta comprovada entre o uso de pornografia e aumento da violência. Isso está presente no trecho: “evidence of a causal link between porn use and violence is slim, and any findings proving a connection are often exaggerated by the media and politicians”. Portanto, a alternativa está de acordo com a mensagem central do texto, utilizando corretamente o conceito de causalidade e limitando-se à evidência apresentada.
Análise das alternativas incorretas:
B) A alternativa sugere um amplo debate com diversos grupos (políticos, religiosos, ativistas, acadêmicos), mas o texto cita apenas a opinião pública/políticos.
C) Ainda que haja preocupação dos pesquisadores sobre efeitos da pornografia, o texto não diz que “a relação entre violência sexual e pornografia” é preocupação principal dos estudiosos; ele relata apenas uma advertência geral.
D) Há menção à mídia e políticos exagerando dados, mas não se afirma que houve argumentos sobre “alta incidência de estupros no Reino Unido”. Referências são aos EUA.
E) A alternativa sugere movimento organizado global contrário à indústria pornográfica, o que não consta no texto.
Dica para outras provas: Cuidado com detalhes e generalizações indevidas nas alternativas (palavras como all, never, always, nomes de locais não mencionados). Sempre relacione a resposta diretamente ao trecho do texto.
