  • Title: The Moderating Influence of Moral Disapproval of Pornography on Couples' Sexual and Relationship Satisfaction.
    Author: Floyd CG, Landa S, Saunders MA, Volk F.
    Journal: J Sex Marital Ther; 2020; 46(7):660-682. PubMed ID: 32573369.
    Abstract:
    Using an online sample of participants that reported using pornography in the last six months and being in a committed relationship, support was found for a moderated mediation model in which sexual shame and sexual satisfaction mediated the relationship between pornography use and couple satisfaction; this indirect effect was moderated by participants' level of moral disapproval of pornography. Findings suggest that pornography use amongst those who morally disapprove of its use is associated with increased sexual shame, which is associated with decreased sexual satisfaction, leading to subsequent reductions in couple satisfaction. Results expand upon the branch of pornography literature suggesting that the association between pornography use and adverse intra- and interpersonal consequences are conditioned on the degree to which users morally disapprove of their use.
