Pornography, Sexual Socialization, and satisfaction
2014Co-Authors: Ivan Landripet, Aleksandar ŠtulhoferAbstract:The findings of the three studies that relied on the Sexual script theory both conceptually and analytically point to an educational effect of pornography, which may increase Sexual satisfaction among men as well as women by expanding their Sexual repertoire. Whether the effect dissipates over time, possibly with pornography habituation, is currently unknown. The observed negative association between pornography-influenced Sexual Socialization and relationship intimacy does not seem to affect Sexual satisfaction. A possible exception may be men with specific (paraphilic?) preferences in pornography, although it remains unclear whether it is their pornography use that negatively affects relationship intimacy or their specific Sexual preferences that orient them toward particular pornographic materials and, at the same time, intensify problems with creating and/or maintaining intimacy that were already initiated by these men’s Sexual taste. So far, the issue of a possible association between pornography use and Sexual satisfaction has been only fragmentarily addressed. A number of questions – which importance increases as Sexually explicit materials become ubiquitous and their use in the developed West culturally normalized – remain unanswered. Moralistic concerns which frequently permeate discussions about the role of pornography in society, as well as in individual lives, may continue to act as an obstacle to systematic research, particularly when involving young people.

Pornography, Sexual Socialization, and Satisfaction Among Young Men
Archives of Sexual Behavior, 2010Co-Authors: Aleksandar Štulhofer, Vesna Buško, Ivan LandripetAbstract:In spite of a growing presence of pornography in contemporary life, little is known about its potential effects on young people’s Sexual Socialization and Sexual satisfaction. In this article, we present a theoretical model of the effects of Sexually explicit materials (SEM) mediated by Sexual scripting and moderated by the type of SEM used. An on-line survey dataset that included 650 young Croatian men aged 18–25 years was used to explore empirically the model. Descriptive findings pointed to significant differences between mainstream and paraphilic SEM users in frequency of SEM use at the age of 14, current SEM use, frequency of masturbation, Sexual boredom, acceptance of sex myths, and Sexual compulsiveness. In testing the model, a novel instrument was used, the Sexual Scripts Overlap Scale, designed to measure the influence of SEM on Sexual Socialization. Structural equation analyses suggested that negative effects of early exposure to SEM on young men’s Sexual satisfaction, albeit small, could be stronger than positive effects. Both positive and negative effects—the latter being expressed through suppression of intimacy—were observed only among users of paraphilic SEM. No effect of early exposure to SEM was found among the mainstream SEM users. To counterbalance moral panic but also glamorization of pornography, sex education programs should incorporate contents that would increase media literacy and assist young people in critical interpretation of pornographic imagery.

Sexual Scripts Overlap Scale—Short Version
2010Co-Authors: Aleksandar Štulhofer, Ivan LandripetAbstract:Little is known about possible impact of Sexually explicit material (SEM) or pornography use on young people’s Sexual Socialization. The efforts so far have been characteristically brief (one-item measures assessing self-rated influence of pornography on one’s sex life were often used) and direct – thus vulnerable to normative expectations and socially desirable answers. According to our conceptualization, pornographic imagery competes with other socially available Sexual narratives in the process of Sexual scripting, particularly in the formation of personal Sexual scripts. It should be, therefore, possible to retrospectively assess the impact of SEM on Sexual Socialization by measuring the overlap between a pornographic and personal depiction of sex, which is what the Sexual Scripts Overlap Scale (SSOS) does. The SSOS has been recently found a useful tool in modeling mediated effects of early SEM use on Sexual satisfaction of young adults. To facilitate wider application of this composite measure, a brief but more robust version of the scale (SSOS-S ; k=20) has been developed and validated using two online surveys. The paper includes description of the scale, including scale items and scoring procedure, as well as the results of reliability and validity tests (construct, convergent, and divergent validity were assessed).

Sexual Socialization messages on entertainment television comparing content trends 1997 2002
Media Psychology, 2007Co-Authors: Dale Kunkel, Keren Eyal, Kirstie M. Farrar, Erica Biely, Edward Donnerstein, Victoria J. RideoutAbstract:Previous content analyses of sex on television have relied on differing measures and sampling strategies, which makes it difficult to compare patterns of Sexual portrayals over time. This large-scale study (N = 2,817 programs) examines the Sexual messages presented on television across both broadcast and cable channels over a 5-year period, applying identical measures to three biennial samples of program content. Results demonstrate that Sexual talk and behavior are highly frequent aspects of the television environment. Talk about sex is shown more often than Sexual behavior, though both types of content increased significantly from 1997/1998 to 2001/2002. Over that time span, the percentage of shows portraying Sexual intercourse doubled from 7 to 14%. Results also show that topics related to Sexual risks or responsibilities (e.g., condom use, abstinence) are increasingly included on television, but nonetheless remain infrequent overall. Such safe sex messages occur most frequently in program environments...

Sexual Socialization messages on television programs most popular among teens
Journal of Broadcasting & Electronic Media, 2007Co-Authors: Keren Eyal, Dale Kunkel, N Erica M A Biely, L Keli M A FinnertyAbstract:This paper examines the portrayal of Sexual messages in the top 20 most popular television programs among teenagers in the United States. It compares findings from the 2001–2002 and 2004–2005 seasons. Results show that these programs contained a large number of Sexual messages, though their frequency decreased over time. Most messages about sex were in the form of conversations. About 1 in 2 shows included portrayals of Sexual behaviors, mostly precursory behaviors. Sexual risk and responsibility concerns were rarely addressed. Most consequences for Sexual intercourse portrayed in 2004–2005 were negative, a significant change from 2001–2002. The findings' implications for adolescents' Sexual Socialization are discussed. This research was supported by grants awarded to the first and second authors by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation of Menlo Park, CA, a nonprofit public health philanthropy.

The International Encyclopedia of Media Studies - Sex on Television
The International Encyclopedia of Media Studies, 2012Co-Authors: Kirstie M. FarrarAbstract:Adolescents and emerging adults watch a great deal of television and research shows that they are exposed to a steady stream of messages about sex and Sexuality, the vast majority of which do not contain important messages about safe and healthy Sexual behavior. Research finds that young people learn information about sex from watching television and that their attitudes about Sexual topics, including Sexual health, can be influenced. Evidence is mounting that watching sex on television is linked to both initiation of and advancement in Sexual behaviors. This chapter will review the evidence on Sexual Socialization effects with an emphasis on the role of the context of a Sexual portrayal in the effects process. The importance of gender and race in the effects process will also be highlighted and potential positive effects of Sexual content in the media will also be discussed. Keywords: sex, sex in the media; social cognitive theory; cultivation theory; sex effects; safe sex; risk and responsibility portrayals
