Shaping Sexual Behaviors & Sexual Scripts

“Our findings show that frequent users more often report behaviours associated with sexual risk taking including earlier age at sexual debut, anal sex, and having tried acts seen in pornography.”

“We also found that frequent users were more likely to consider themselves having a greater interest in sex and pornography compared to their peers, fantasize trying acts seen in pornography several times a week, think about sex almost all the time, and watch pornography more than they wanted.”

It is also noteworthy that a statistically significant relationship was found between fantasizing about pornography several times a week and watching hard core pornography…[thus] it may be that rather than ‘purging’ individuals of their fantasies and inclinations of sexual aggression, watching hard core pornography perpetuates them, thereby increasing the likelihood of manifested sexual aggression.”
