“…Sexually explicit Internet material (SEIM), also known as online pornography, has been widely consumed by individuals for purposes including solitary sexual pleasure (Morgan, 2011; Brown, Durtschi, et al, 2017), attempts to enhance sexual communication (Kohut et al, 2017), and to assess the quality of their sex lives (Cooper et al, 1999; Wright et al, 2018).
