Psychological, relational, and sexual correlates of pornography use on young adult heterosexual men in romantic relationships

Findings revealed that both frequency of pornography use and problematic pornography use were related to greater gender role conflict, more avoidant and anxious attachment styles, poorer relationship quality, and less sexual satisfaction. In addition, the findings provided support for a theorized mediated model in which gender role conflict was linked to relational outcomes both directly and indirectly via attachment styles and pornography use. Finally, psychometric support for the Pornography Use Scale developed for this study is provided.
Research indicates that pornography use has increased over the past decade (Ropelato). In addition, males tend to use pornography more than females with differences producing large effect sizes (for a meta-analysis see Peterson & Hyde, 2010). Furthermore, men tend to feel more positively about pornography than women (Carroll, Padilla-Walker, Nelson, Olson, McNamara, & Madsen, 2008).
