  • Title: Relational monogamy, condomless sex, and perceptions of pornography as sexual information in an English sample.
    Author: Wright PJ, Miezan E, Sun C, Steffen NJ.
    Journal: Sex Health; 2019 Feb; 16(1):70-74. PubMed ID: 30336801.
    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: Background This study assessed perceptions of pornography as a source of sexual information and condomless sex among a heterosexual sample of sexually active adult pornography consumers in England. METHODS: Participants were drawn from an anonymous online survey of culture and sexuality. RESULTS: There was no association between perceiving pornography as a source of sexual information and condomless sex among participants who were in monogamous relationships. Conversely, perceiving pornography as a source of sexual information was associated with condomless sex among participants who were not in monogamous relationships. CONCLUSION: The results of this study further the research literature on pornography and condomless sex in two ways. First, they suggest that studies that do not take relational monogamy into account may falsely conclude that pornography and condomless sex are unrelated. Second, they suggest that in addition to assessing the use of pornography, studies should measure the degree to which pornography is seen as a means of sexual pedagogy.
