Chapter II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
Internet pornography (IP) use has increased over the past 10 years. The effects
of IP use are widespread and are both negative (e.g., relationship and interpersonal
distress) and positive (e.g., increases in sexual knowledge and attitudes toward sex).
Given the possible negative effects of IP use, understanding the definition of IP, the
types of IP used, and reasons for IP use is important. The present study reviews the
methodology and content of available literature regarding IP use in nondeviant adult
populations. The study seeks to determine how the studies defined IP, utilized validated
measures of pornography use, examined variables related to IP, and addressed form
and function of IP use. Overall, studies were inconsistent in their definitions of IP,
measurement, and their assessment of the form and function of IP use. Discussion
regarding how methodological differences between studies may impact the results and
the ability to generalize findings is provided, and suggestions for future studies are
offered. (January 2012Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking 15(1):13-23)

realism as, “the extent to which the content of SEIM [sexually explicit Internet material]
is perceived to be similar to real-world sex” (pp. 376–77) and utility as, “the extent to
which adolescents perceive SEIM as a useful source of information about sex and as
applicable to the real world” (p. 377). They also examined the influence of sexually
explicit material on instrumental attitudes toward sex, that is, “the notion of sex as
primarily physical and casual rather than affectionate and relational” (p. 375). This study
suggests that as adolescents are more frequently exposed to sexually explicit material,
their perceptions of the social realism and the utility of sexually explicit material
increase.
The study also suggests that the greater adolescents’ perceptions of social realism and
utility of sexually explicit material, the greater their instrumental attitudes toward sex.
However, a qualitative study conducted by Lofgren-M ¨ artenson and ˚ Mansson (2010)
contradicts Peter and Valkenburg’s findings. L ˚ ofgren- ¨ Martenson and M ˚ ansson
collected data from an adolescent population ( ˚ N =51) in Sweden; these data indicated
the majority of participants were able to distinguish between the fantasy of sexually
explicit material and real-life sexual interaction. However, the research participants
acknowledged that the ideals and pornographic scripts presented in sexually explicit
material do influence young people. Additional research has shown that exposure to
sexually explicit material is a normative experience among adolescents who are
following traditional developmental trajectories regarding sexual curiosity (Sabina,
Wolak)
Pornography is not similar to real life. People get tired, become preoccupied,
develop broader interests, and grow passionate about their other dimensions of life.
Pornography might damage marriages and can wreck the arousal process in the brain
of the consumer that can perhaps end up weakening the relationship commitment to
their partner. Larsen proves that there is a study stated some of the effects of
ornography on marriage life specifically to the couple. Standing on top, pornography
breaks trust. In reality, marriages are built on trust. This trust is being affected by
consuming pornography. Following is that it creates comparison. Watching pornography
sometimes leads to comparing those of the images to their partner and, unfortunately,
this can lead to ungratefulness. In addition, pornography can affect and damage both
5
sexual and attitudes and behavior, which can affect the marriage, which can be the
source of stability of the entire community. Mainly, pornography is any materials that
illustrate or shows sexual acts. However, the definition may differ from different cultures
in different generations. It is needed to exert additional normative forces to manifest its
term. Most of the time, people tend to portray the pornography as sexually in nature.
While it is related on what Eisenstein’s description of pornography which is relating
typically to women’s side. Eisenstein highlighted pornography as an easy issue for
conservatives to manipulate because it so readily.
