To investigate the relationship between problematic pornography use (PPU), frequency of cyber-pornography exposure (FC-PE), and sexual permissiveness (SP) in adults first exposed to cyber-pornography before age 18, with a focus on how SP may influence these relationships.
Key Findings:
Strong positive association between PPU and FC-PE (p < 0.001), indicating a significant risk factor.
Weak, negative association between PPU and SP (p = 0.067), suggesting a potential area for further investigation.
Men reported significantly higher PPU than women (p < 0.001), highlighting gender differences in usage patterns.
Sexual orientation was a trend-level predictor of PPU (p = 0.064), warranting further exploration.
Interpretation:
High-frequency exposure to cyber-pornography is linked to increased problematic pornography use, particularly among men, indicating a need for awareness and monitoring across genders.
Limitations:
Sample size may limit generalizability.
Cross-sectional design does not establish causation.
Self-reported measures may introduce bias.
Self-selection bias may affect the representativeness of the sample.
Conclusion:
The study underscores the importance of monitoring cyber-pornography use and suggests the need for targeted interventions to mitigate negative outcomes, especially for young users.
