Internet Pornography use and Sexual Body Image in a Dutch Sample

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.
