<p>This paper develops a phenomenological analysis of compulsive pornography consumption, with particular attention to the experiential structures underlying autogynephilic identification as a recurrent feature of addictive engagement. Departing from clinical taxonomies and from social, moral, and aesthetic critiques of pornography, the study applies a phenomenological epoché to bracket normative and causal explanations, attending instead to pornography as it is lived by the consuming subject. Drawing on Merleau-Ponty’s ontology of the lived body and body schema, Husserl’s descriptive phenomenology, and Freud’s accounts of drive and repetition compulsion, the analysis examines how compulsive pornographic consumption restructures intentionality, temporality, and bodily self-understanding. The paper introduces the concept of the closed event to describe the self-contained experiential structure of pornographic consumption, characterized by solipsistic intentionality, temporal collapse into a non-teleological present, and proprioceptive dissonance between the lived body and the mediated body on screen. Drawing on netnographic material gathered from online support communities and naturalistic consumption contexts, the analysis identifies a recurrent pattern of identificatory rather than voyeuristic engagement, in which consumers imaginatively inhabit the proprioceptive position of the female performer while maintaining heterosexual self-identification and reporting no attraction to the male body. This pattern is reframed phenomenologically as an effect of mimetic incorporation and body schema sedimentation produced through habitual consumption rather than as a fixed cross-gender identity. The phenomenon Blanchard designated as autogynephilia is reconsidered as a dynamic, consumption-dependent structure of embodied identification that the closed event’s collapse of self-other boundaries renders intelligible without recourse to etiological or taxonomic reduction.</p>
