Religiosity and Pornography Use: A Call for (Nuanced) Attention

Pornography is the subject of many papers published in Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy. Few factors have been more consistently assumed to impact behavior around and perceptions of pornography than religion. And yet, the nature of the relationship between religiosity and pornography use remains undertheorized and insufficiently researched. Using recently published scholarship and the presentation of novel data as a motivational springboard, this letter calls for pornography researchers to devote additional, nuanced attention to the important question of how religiosity impacts pornography use.
