A large number of partnered individuals regularly use or are in a relationship with someone who uses pornography. However, knowledge concerning the association between pornography use and partnered sexual health—sexual satisfaction, distress, and function—is fragmentary. The current study used an event-level dyadic design to examine the associations between pornography use and sexual satisfaction, distress, and function on days when partnered sexual activity occurred. A convenience sample of 217 couples (M_age = 30.2; SD = 8.3; 72 same-sex couples) completed a short survey on days of sexual activity with their partner, over a 35-day period. Self-report measures included questions about daily pornography use and masturbation as well as daily sexual satisfaction, distress, and function. Using pornography on days of partnered sexual activity was reported by half of the couples. An individual’s solitary pornography use on days of partnered sexual activity was related to their partner’s higher sexual distress and, for women’s use only, to their own higher quality of lubrication, compared to sex days without solitary pornography use. There was no evidence of an association between pornography use on sex days, whether alone or with the partner, and all other aspects of sexual health including sexual satisfaction. Our findings capture the complexity of the associations between pornography and sexual health. Men and women’s pornography use may create idealized fantasies around appearance and performance, which may lead the partner to feel distressed about their sex life. Women’s pornography use might facilitate their sexual responsiveness during partnered sexual activity.

许多合作伙伴定期使用色情内容或与使用色情内容的人有关系。但是，关于色情制品使用与伴侣性健康之间的关联的知识（性满足，困扰和功能）是零碎的。当前的研究使用事件级二元设计来检查色情内容使用与性伴侣发生性行为时的性满足，痛苦和功能之间的关联。的217个耦合的简便样品（中号_年龄 = 30.2; SD = 8.3；72对同性伴侣）在35天的时间内完成了与伴侣进行性行为的简短调查。自我报告的措施包括有关日常使用色情和手淫以及日常性满足，困扰和功能的问题。据报道，有一半的夫妻在性交活动中使用色情制品。与没有单独使用色情制品的性生活相比，在伴侣进行性活动的日子里，个人单独使用色情制品与伴侣的性苦难程度较高有关，并且仅与女性有关，与自己较高的润滑质量有关。没有证据表明在性生活中使用色情制品，无论是单独还是与伴侣在一起，都与性健康的所有其他方面（包括性满足）之间存在关联。我们的发现揭示了色情与性健康之间关联的复杂性。男女色情制品的使用可能会在外观和性能方面产生理想化的幻想，这可能会使伴侣对自己的性生活感到困扰。使用女性色情制品可能会促进她们在伴侣进行性行为时的性反应。
