Abstract
Since 1970s, some changes have been made in the Swedish and Finnish pornography market. The consumption of pornography has increased in terms of supply, variability, and accessibility. Pornography and pornographic material for a variety of tastes can be obtained in convenience stores, (sex) shops, via mail order, cable TV, videos, and on the Internet. Sexual culture of the Nordic countries is different from the majority of other Western industrialized countries, including the U.S. The social acceptance of adolescent and female sexuality is more significative in the Nordic countries than in most other Western cultures. Another central feature of Nordic sexual culture is fewer restrictions against nudity, but more restrictions warning the touching of the body.
