Self-Perceived Effects of Pornography Consumption in a Sample of Indonesian University Students

Abstract: Self-perceived effects of pornography consumption were studied in a sample of university students in Indonesia-a conservative, Muslim majority country with strict anti-pornography laws. Using a cross-sectional design and a modified version of the Pornography Consumption Effect Scale (PCES), we assessed participants' reports of how pornography affected their sexual knowledge, attitude toward sex, sex life, perception of and attitude toward the opposite gender, and life in general. The area of attitude toward se… Show more

“…First, as indicated previously, after finding in their experiment that pornography exposure reduced participants' satisfaction with partners across a variety of domains, Zillmann and Bryant (1988) speculated that consumers' upward comparisons may center on their partners, not on themselves. Third, and consistent with the positions of Traeen et al and Kvalem et al, when asked directly about pornography's effects on them, many consumers report positive results in areas such as learning new sexual techniques, discovering new sexual desires, and experimenting with new sexual behaviors; they also deny negative effects such as increased performance anxiety (Hald & Malamuth, 2008;Hald et al, 2013;Mulya & Hald, 2014).

“…First, contrary to the statements of consumers when asked directly about how pornography has positively impacted them (Hald & Malamuth, 2008;Mulya & Hald, 2014), it seems unlikely that an increase in the frequency and intensity of consumption would, on the average, lead to a corresponding increase in satisfaction with oneself or one's sexual or romantic relationships.

“…In contrast to these findings, several authors and studies suggest that SEM use may (also) be positively associated with outcomes related to increased relationship satisfaction. These include a better self-perceived sex life and sexual knowledge (Hald & Malamuth, 2008;McKee, 2007;Mulya & Hald, 2014), reduced sexual anxiety and increased sexual esteem (Morrison, Harriman, Morrison, Bearden, & Ellis, 2004).The use of SEM in educational, clinical and medical settings (e.g. Robinson, Manthei, Scheltema, Rich, & Koznar, 1999;Watson & Smith, 2012) have also indicated that SEM consumption may be associated with increased sexual desire, sexual self-acknowledgement, sexual inspiration and reduced shame and guilt related to sexuality, thus contributing to an enhancement of communication about sexuality (Hald, Seaman, & Linz, 2014).…”
