The research on the relations between the frequency of porn use and these three outcomes has shown mixed results (for narrative and systematic reviews, see Fisher & Kohut, Reference Fisher and Kohut2017 Leonhardt, Spencer, Butler, & Theobald, Reference Leonhardt, Spencer, Butler and Theobald2019 Wright & Tokunaga, Reference Wright and Tokunaga2018). In this research, we distinguished among three sexual performance outcomes: (i) sexual self-competence (the sense of being sexually capable Snell, Reference Snell, Fisher, Davis, Yarber and Davis1998), (ii) sexual functioning (the degree of desire, arousal, erection/lubrication, orgasm, and satisfaction during sexual activities Kalmbach, Ciesla, Janata, & Kingsberg, Reference Kalmbach, Ciesla, Janata and Kingsberg2015), and (iii) partner sexual satisfaction (the quality of the sexual exchange/experience, and arguably the least biased measure of sexual performance Štulhofer, Buško, & Brouillard, Reference Štulhofer, Buško and Brouillard2010b). Sexual performance can be studied based on different conceptualizations and operationalizations depending on the perspective taken. In this research, we further investigated porn-related gender differences by examining whether young men and women also differ in the relation between porn use and sexual performance. Footnote † Footnote 1 Men start using porn at an earlier age than women (Sinković, Štulhofer, & Božić, Reference Sinković, Štulhofer and Božić2013), watch porn more often than women (Petersen & Hyde, Reference Petersen and Hyde2010), and prefer hardcore over softcore videos (Hald, Reference Hald2006).
Young men and women differ in their porn use habits.
