ABSTRACT

Pornography use is prevalent, even among partnered individuals. Although pornography use motivations represent key predictors of sexual behaviors, prior studies only assessed the associations between pornography use frequency and sexual wellbeing, with mixed results. This cross-sectional dyadic study examined the associations between partners’ individual and partnered pornography use frequency, motivations, and sexual wellbeing. Self-report data from 265 couples (M_{age_men} = 31.49 years, SD = 8.26; M_{age_women} = 29.36 years, SD = 6.74) were analyzed using an actor-partner interdependence model. Men’s greater emotional avoidance motivation was related to their own lower sexual function (β = −.24, p = .004) and greater sexual distress (β = .19, p = .012), while their higher sexual curiosity motivation was related to higher partnered sexual frequency (β = .15, p = .031), their own greater sexual satisfaction (β = .13, p = .022), sexual function (β = .16, p = .009), and lower sexual distress (β = −.13, p = .043). Women’s higher partnered pornography use frequency was associated with their own greater sexual function (β = .15, p = .034) and lower sexual distress (β = −.14, p = .012). Additionally, women’s higher individual pornography use frequency (β = .33, p < .001) and lower sexual pleasure motivation (β = −.35, p = .002) were associated with higher partnered sexual frequency. No partner effects were observed. Findings highlight that women’s pornography use frequency and each partner’s motivations might play crucial roles in couples’ sexual wellbeing.

摘要

色情使用很普遍，即使在合作的个人中也是如此。尽管色情使用动机代表了性行为的关键预测因素，但先前的研究仅评估了色情使用频率与性健康之间的关联，结果喜忧参半。这项横断面二元研究检查了伴侣的个人和伴侣色情使用频率、动机和性健康之间的关联。使用演员-伴侣相互依存模型分析了265 对夫妇的自我报告数据（M _{age_men}  = 31.49 岁，SD  = 8.26；M _{age_women}  = 29.36 岁，SD  = 6.74）。男性更大的情绪回避动机与他们自身较低的性功能有关（β = -.24，p = .004）和更大的性困扰（β =  .19，p = .012），而他们更高的性好奇心动机与更高的合作性行为频率有关（β =  .15，p = .031），他们自己的更高的性满意度 ( β =  .13, p = .022)、性功能 ( β =  .16, p = .009) 和更低的性困扰 ( β = -.1 3, p = .043)。女性较高的合作色情使用频率与她们自身更大的性功能（β =  .15，p = .034）和较低的性困扰（β = -.14，p = .012）。此外，女性较高的个人色情使用频率 ( β =  .33, p < .001) 和较低的性快感动机 ( β = -.3 5, p = .002) 与较高的合作性行为频率相关。没有观察到伴侣效应。调查结果强调，女性色情内容的使用频率和每个伴侣的动机可能在夫妻的性福祉中发挥关键作用。
