Introduction

The proactive role of women in sexuality has been socially invisible, especially in regard to pornography use. For this reason, this study aims to explore Spanish women’s sexual experiences regarding viewing, arousal, and discomfort as perceived by different types of pornography and based on the women’s sexual orientation.

Methods

Between January and March 2019, 2730 Spanish women between 18 and 44 years old (M = 24.16; SD = 6.04) completed a questionnaire about the consumption of heterosexual, gay, and lesbian pornography and the discomfort they felt when they were aroused by this type of material. Regarding their sexual orientation, 78.1% were heterosexual, 15.4% were bisexual, and 6.5% were lesbian.

Results

In general, more lesbian and bisexual women consume pornography than heterosexual women do. In any case, all of them consume and are aroused by pornographic content based on a sexual orientation that differs from their reported sexual orientation. Women experience discomfort when viewing pornography, regardless of their sexual orientation and the type of content. Particularly, the youngest women are associated with discomfort when viewing heterosexual pornography, although the discomfort of older bisexual women is associated with gay and lesbian pornography.

Conclusions

Regardless of their reported sexual orientation, women view and feel aroused by different types of pornographic content. In addition, this study reveals their associated discomfort, which could interfere with their sexual health.

Policy Implications

Sexual health strategies should include a more active role of women in sexuality, as well as a more flexible conception of their sexual orientation to prevent stigmatizing them.

基于不同性取向的西班牙女性与色情：性取向和年龄对消费、性唤起和不适的分析

介绍

女性在性方面的积极作用在社会上是隐形的，尤其是在色情使用方面。出于这个原因，本研究旨在探索西班牙女性在观看、唤醒和不适方面的性体验，这些性体验被不同类型的色情作品所感知，并基于女性的性取向。

方法

2019 年 1 月至 3 月期间，2730 名 18 至 44 岁的西班牙女性（M = 24.16；SD = 6.04）完成了一份关于异性恋、男同性恋和女同性恋色情制品的消费以及她们在被这种类型唤醒时感到的不适的问卷调查的材料。在性取向方面，78.1% 为异性恋，15.4% 为双性恋，6.5% 为女同性恋。

结果

一般来说，与异性恋女性相比，更多的女同性恋和双性恋女性消费色情内容。在任何情况下，他们都消费并被基于与他们报告的性取向不同的性取向的色情内容所激发。女性在观看色情内容时会感到不适，无论她们的性取向和内容类型如何。特别是，最年轻的女性在观看异性恋色情内容时会感到不适，尽管年长的双性恋女性的不适感与同性恋色情内容有关。

结论

无论她们报告的性取向如何，女性都会看到并感受到不同类型的色情内容。此外，这项研究揭示了他们相关的不适，这可能会干扰他们的性健康。

政策影响

性健康策略应包括让女性在性行为中发挥更积极的作用，以及对她们的性取向采取更灵活的观念，以防止对她们进行污名化。
