The broad accessibility of online sexually explicit material (SEM) exposes viewers to a wide scope of sexual behaviors. Social concern tends to be heightened over SEM that incorporates highly graphic, "rough" sex. This study assessed the associations among exposure to rough sex in SEM, desire for rough sex, and participation in rough sex while accounting for gender, sexual orientation, and perceived realism of SEM. Young adults (N = 327; ages 19-30; 50.8% men) were recruited through a crowdsourcing website. They completed an anonymous online survey that assessed viewing frequency for a range of sexual behaviors in SEM, the perceived realism of SEM, desire to participate in the behaviors viewed, and if they had ever participated in those behaviors. Hair pulling, spanking, scratching, biting, bondage, fisting, and double penetration were used to create the variable of rough sex. Rough sex desire and participation were common among individuals who have been exposed to rough sex in SEM, with 91.4% desiring to engage in 1 + behaviors at least to a small degree and 81.7% having engaged in 1 + behaviors. Exposure to rough sex in SEM was positively associated with desire for and participation in rough sex, emphasizing the need to ensure that individuals can distinguish between consensual rough sex and sexual violence. This study did not parse out causal effects or directionality, but did provide some insights into the interrelatedness of viewing, desiring, and participating in rough sex.
网络上广泛存在的成人色情内容(SEM)使观众接触到各种性行为。人们往往对包含高度色情、“粗暴”的性行为的 SEM 内容更加关注。本研究评估了 SEM 中“粗暴”性行为的暴露、对“粗暴”性行为的渴望,以及在考虑 SEM 的真实感、性别和性取向的情况下参与“粗暴”性行为之间的关联。通过众包网站招募了 327 名年龄在 19 至 30 岁之间的年轻人(50.8%为男性)。他们完成了一项匿名在线调查,评估了他们对 SEM 中各种性行为的观看频率、SEM 的真实感、对参与这些行为的渴望,以及他们是否曾经参与过这些行为。本研究使用了拉扯头发、拍打、抓挠、咬、束缚、拳交和双插入等行为来创建“粗暴”性行为的变量。SEM 中“粗暴”性行为的暴露与对“粗暴”性行为的渴望和参与有关,91.4%的人渴望至少以较小程度参与 1 种+性行为,81.7%的人已经参与 1 种+性行为。SEM 中“粗暴”性行为的暴露与对“粗暴”性行为的渴望和参与呈正相关,这强调了需要确保个人能够区分自愿的“粗暴”性行为和性暴力。本研究没有解析出因果效应或方向性,但确实提供了一些关于观看、渴望和参与“粗暴”性行为之间相互关系的见解。
