The effect of pornography on sexual response is understudied, particularly among women. A multinational, community-based sample of 2433 women at least 18 years of age completed a 42-item, opt-in questionnaire collecting information on demographic and sexual history characteristics, use of pornography during masturbation, frequency of pornography use, and sexual response parameters. Pornography use and average frequency were compared across demographic variables. We also examined how pornography frequency predicted differences in self-reported arousal difficulty; orgasmic difficulty, latency, and pleasure; and the percent of sexual activities ending in orgasm during both masturbation and partnered sex. On average, women using pornography were younger, and reported more interest in sex. Pornography frequency differed significantly by menopausal status, sexual orientation, anxiety/depression status, number of sexual partners, and origin of data collection. During masturbation, more frequent pornography use predicted lower arousal difficulty and orgasmic difficulty, greater pleasure, and a higher percentage of masturbatory events leading to orgasm. Frequency of pornography use predicted only lower arousal difficulty and longer orgasmic latencies during partnered sex, having no effect on the other outcome variables. Pornography use frequency did not predict overall relationship satisfaction or sexual relationship satisfaction. Overall, more frequent pornography use was generally associated with more favorable sexual response outcomes during masturbation, while not affecting most partnered sex parameters. Several demographic and relationship covariates appear to more consistently and strongly predict orgasmic problems during partnered sexual activity than pornography use.
性反应受色情内容影响的研究还很不足，尤其是针对女性的研究。本研究采用跨国、社区为基础的样本，共纳入 2433 名至少 18 岁的女性，完成了一份 42 项的调查问卷，收集了人口统计学和性史特征、自慰时使用色情内容、色情内容使用频率以及性反应参数等信息。我们比较了不同人口统计学变量之间的色情内容使用和平均频率。我们还考察了色情内容使用频率如何预测自我报告的性唤起困难、性高潮困难、潜伏期和愉悦度差异，以及自慰和性行为中性高潮的百分比。平均而言，使用色情内容的女性更年轻，对性更感兴趣。色情内容使用频率因绝经状态、性取向、焦虑/抑郁状态、性伴侣数量和数据采集来源而异。在自慰过程中，更频繁地使用色情内容可预测更低的性唤起困难和性高潮困难、更大的愉悦度，以及更高比例的自慰行为可导致性高潮。使用色情内容的频率仅预测了在性行为中更低的性唤起困难和更长的性高潮潜伏期，对其他结果变量没有影响。使用色情内容的频率与整体关系满意度或性关系满意度无关。总的来说，在自慰过程中，更频繁地使用色情内容通常与更有利的性反应结果相关，而对大多数性行为参数没有影响。一些人口统计学和关系协变量似乎比使用色情内容更一致和强烈地预测性行为中的性高潮问题。
