Sexuality in the Internet Era: Expressions of Hispanic Adolescent and Young People

Spanish Women and Pornography Based on Different Sexual Orientation: an Analysis of Consumption, Arousal, and Discomfort by Sexual Orientation and Age

“…In light of our findings, compared to past investigations (Ballester-Arnal et al, 2017;Bridges et al, 2016;Kasper et al, 2015;Martyniuk et al, 2016;Rissel et al, 2017;Traeen & Daneback, 2013;Zheng & Zheng, 2014), our results showed that more young adult Spanish women had consumed pornography. This difference may be due to the age of the participants, which in our case was from 18 to 44 years old, while in other studies, the sample was younger (Ballester-Arnal et al, 2017;Martyniuk et al, 2016) or had a greater range of ages (Bridges et al, 2016;Kasper et al, 2015;Rissel et al, 2017;Traeen & Daneback, 2013;Zheng & Zheng, 2014). Another aspect that may influence the findings is what type of information has been collected.…”

“…Another aspect that may influence the findings is what type of information has been collected. For example, we asked about the women's behavior experience on at least one occasion and not for a specific period of time or regarding specific correlated practices such as masturbation (Ballester-Arnal et al, 2017;Bridges et al, 2016) or the frequency thereof (Bridges et al, 2016;Martyniuk et al, 2016;Zheng & Zheng, 2014). However, cultural context and social desirability may have also influence on the outcomes.…”

“…Regarding Europe, in a study among a young population (between 18 and 26 years old), 56.9% of Polish women and 49.3% of German women had used pornography more than once a month in the last 6 months (Martyniuk et al, 2016). In Spain, a study found that 68.1% of adolescent and young women (from 19 to 25 years old) had ever searched for sexual material on the Internet, and 68.5% of them had ever masturbated while they were on the Internet (Ballester-Arnal et al, 2017). However, women over the age of 55 rarely report current pornography consumption (4.7%) (Ballester-Arnal et al, 2019).…”

A Two-Wave Assessment of the Structure and Stability of Self-Reported Problematic Pornography Use Among Male Croatian Adolescents

“…Participants in this group reported a substantially higher frequency of pornography use than their peers. In another study, carried out in two samples of adolescents and emerging adults from Spain and Mexico (n = 1,189 and n = 1,038, respectively), the proportion of adolescents who were at risk for compulsive, out of control online sexual behavior was, overall, about one percent (Ballester-Arnal, Gil-Llario, Giménez-García, Castro-Calvo, & Cardenas-López, 2017). In contrast to young adults, the membership in this at risk group was not significantly associated with pornography use among adolescents.…”

“…Algunos estudios arrojan prevalencias de sexualidad compulsiva entre el 3 y el 27% (Derbyshire & Grant, 2015), siendo más elevada en los perfiles de riesgo -no clínicos (Ballester-Arnal, Castro-Calvo, Gil-Llario, & Gil-Julia, 2017)-. Por ejemplo, un estudio comparativo entre población mexicana y española (Ballester-Arnal, Gil-Llario, Giménez-García, Castro-Calvo, & López-Cárdenas, 2017) mostró que un 37.7% de hombres jóvenes españoles y un 18% de mexicanos presentaban un perfil de riesgo para la adicción al cibersexo, siendo en el caso de las mujeres del 20 y 6.2%, respectivamente. riesgo en nuevos contextos como las actividades sexuales online, exponiendo a daños asociados al sexting o el cibersexo (Bhat, 2017;Castro & Ballester, 2013).…”
