Because consensually accepted programs of sexual education are lacking, erotica have come to serve as the primary agent of sexual socialization. The new media technology gives prepubertal children and postpubertal adolescents ready access to erotica in all their manifestations. However, next to nothing is known about the consequences of the steadily increasing amount of such exposure. A brief overview of what is known and what remains unknown about the effects of pornography on young adults is presented. Thereafter, the focus is on the development of sexual callousness across the pubertal threshold, and on how this callousness might be influenced by extensive exposure to erotica. The erotica under consideration are not so much those explicitly depicting coital behaviors as those that are less explicit and present a fuller social context of sexual engagements. A program of research is outlined that would help provide an understanding of erotica's effects on adolescents' sexual callousness, an understanding that is sorely needed for the construction of effective educational efforts aiming at the removal of callousness and coercion from sexual relations.
由于缺乏得到普遍认可的性教育项目,色情作品已成为性社会化的主要媒介。新媒体技术使青春期前的儿童和青春期后的青少年能够轻易接触到各种形式的色情作品。然而,对于这种接触量不断增加所带来的后果,我们几乎一无所知。本文简要概述了关于色情作品对年轻人影响的已知和未知情况。此后,重点关注青春期门槛前后性冷漠的发展,以及大量接触色情作品可能如何影响这种冷漠。这里所考虑的色情作品并非那些明确描绘性交行为的作品,而是那些不太露骨且呈现出更完整的性交往社会背景的作品。本文概述了一项研究计划,该计划将有助于理解色情作品对青少年性冷漠的影响,而这对于构建旨在消除性关系中的冷漠和强迫行为的有效教育措施来说是非常必要的。
