Abstract

Objectives: The study explored characteristics associated with the self-assessed effects of pornography use on one’s personal sex life. Methods: Data were collected in a probability-based sample of Norwegian adults (n = 4,160). Results: Most participants (41.3%) did not believe that pornography affected their sex life. More participants reported positive (33.2%) than mixed/negative (25.5%) effects of pornography use. Sociodemographic and sexual characteristics that predicted these self-assessments were examined. Among participants in a steady relationship, emotional intimacy and relationship satisfaction were unrelated to the self-assessed effects. Conclusions: The current study findings add to scant literature about the self-assessed effects of pornography usage.

摘要

目标：该研究探讨了与色情使用对个人性生活的自我评估影响相关的特征。方法：数据是在基于概率的挪威成年人样本中收集的（n  = 4,160）。结果：大多数参与者 (41.3%) 不相信色情内容会影响他们的性生活。更多的参与者报告了色情使用的积极影响（33.2％）而不是混合/消极影响（25.5％）。检查了预测这些自我评估的社会人口学和性特征。在稳定关系的参与者中，情感亲密和关系满意度与自我评估效果无关。结论： 目前的研究结果增加了关于色情使用的自我评估效果的文献很少。
