“…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).…”
