THE INFLUENCE OF THE USE OF VIRTUAL PORNOGRAPHY ON SEXUAL PERFORMANCE AND AFFECTIVE BONDING

Abstract

Scientific research on the influence of virtual pornography use on sexual performance and emotional attachment is extensive, although results may vary. Therefore, some findings suggest that excessive consumption of pornographic content may be associated with several factors, for example, difficulties in erectile function, decreased sexual desire and problems with emotional intimacy, while other studies emphasize the lack of a direct cause and effect relationship. when treating pornography as a non-predominant factor.

There is evidence that exposure to pornography can shape sexual expectations and negatively influence the perception of real intimacy. Furthermore, issues such as dependence, decreased sexual satisfaction, communication difficulties and affected physiological factors have been raised in some contexts to better observe the aspects caused by the use of the aforementioned content. Therefore, it is important to consider the role of individual factors, culture, personal values ​​and relationship quality when evaluating the impact of virtual pornography on sexual performance and emotional attachment.
