Internet Pornography Use and Sexual Body Image in a Dutch Sample
1Graduate Group in Demography, University of Pennsylvania, Sociology, 239 McNeil Building, 3718 Locust Walk, Philadelphia, PA 19104-6298 United States.
Objectives:
A commonly attributed cause of sexual body image dissatisfaction is pornography use. This relationship has received little verification.
Methods:
The relationship between sexual body image dissatisfaction and Internet pornography use was tested using a large-N sample of Dutch respondents.
Results/Conclusion:
Penis size dissatisfaction is associated with pornography use. The relationship between pornography use and breast size dissatisfaction is null. These results support prior speculation and self-reports about the relationship between pornography use and sexual body image among men. These results also support a prior null finding of the relationship between breast size satisfaction for women and pornography use.
