ABSTRACT

This research explores the determinants of global Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) for pornographic products education in the post-sexism era, employing the STP (segmentation, targeting, positioning) and 6P (product, price, place, promotion, public, policy) marketing models. The research investigates how these determinants shape the development, implementation, and reception of educational initiatives in this sensitive field. Key findings reveal a complex interplay of market dynamics, sociocultural factors, technological advancements, and ethical considerations. The global pornographic products market's projected growth to US$52 billion by 2028 indicates increased demand for comprehensive sexual education. In the post-sexism context, shifting attitudes towards sexual wellness as an integral component of overall health provide a more open environment for pornographic products education. However, significant cross-cultural variations in sexual attitudes necessitate nuanced, culturally sensitive approaches to content development and delivery. Technological integration, including AI-driven personalization and virtual reality, offers opportunities for enhanced engagement and discretion in learning experiences. The research emphasizes the critical need for navigating ethical concerns and diverse regulatory landscapes, with the 6P model providing a framework for addressing these aspects. The integration of STP and 6P models is proposed as a robust approach to developing and managing MOOCs in this field, allowing for targeted content creation while addressing broader societal and ethical implications. Limitations include the need for empirical data on learner preferences and course effectiveness in the context of pornographic products education. Future research directions suggest cross-cultural analyses, longitudinal studies on societal impact, and the development of ethical frameworks specific to pornographic products education in the digital age.
