Introduction Comprehensive sexuality education in schools remains an important avenue for providing crucial information to adolescents as they develop. However, the content and delivery of sexuality education need to be periodically updated to stay current and relevant to adolescents. It is important to define effective and comprehensive pedagogical methods to provide sexuality education to developing youth. Objective The main aim of this study w…
Longitudinal changes in sexual identity during adolescence and their associations with sexual well‐being
Exploring sexuality and identity are important and concurrent adolescent developmental tasks. Sexual identity fluidity (e.g., change over time in sexual identity) at this stage is increasingly documented, yet, knowledge concerning broad tendencies in sexual identity development in contemporary youth and how these relate to sexual well-being is lacking. This study identified and characterized longitudinal classes of sexual identity change across t…

Curves and Pixels: Longitudinal Associations Between Frequency of Pornography Use and Body Dissatisfaction in a Sample of Young Hungarian Adults
Introduction Despite unrealistic body portrayals commonly seen in pornographic materials, only a few studies have examined the association between pornography use frequency (PUF) and body dissatisfaction (BD) over time and most of these studies have been limited in scope (e.g., only focused on women) and included several limitations (e.g., cross-sectional designs). The present study sought to address these gaps by investigating the associations b…
Longitudinal Associations Between Problematic Pornography Use and Types of Rumination
Transdiagnostic approaches are considered essential for assessing psychopathology, as they cut across a wide range of mental disorders. These features significantly contribute to the development and maintenance of mental health issues, with rumination being an important transdiagnostic construct. Although previous studies have demonstrated a positive link between problematic online behaviors and rumination, no study has examined the association b…

Theoretical Antecedents of Male Adolescents’ Problematic Pornography Use: A Longitudinal Assessment
Although considerable research has examined the antecedents of adolescents' pornography use (PU), little data exist on the underlying mechanisms of problematic pornography use (PPU) in adolescence. To bridge this gap, the current longitudinal study examined the long-term associations between adolescent boys' PU frequency, PPU, and theory-based predictors of PPU. Testing three conceptual models (the moral incongruence, out of control, and mood man…
The Short Version of the Problematic Pornography Consumption Scale (PPCS-6): A Reliable and Valid Measure in General and Treatment-Seeking Populations
To date, no short scale existed that could assess problematic pornography use (PPU) having a solid theoretical background and strong psychometric properties. Having such a short scale may be advantageous when scarce resources are available and/or when respondents' attention spans are limited. The aim of the present investigation was to develop a short scale that can be utilized to screen for PPU. The Problematic Pornography Consumption Scale (PPC…

Revisiting the Role of Impulsivity and Compulsivity in Problematic Sexual Behaviors
Impulsivity and compulsivity are transdiagnostic features associated with clinically relevant aspects of psychiatric disorders, including addictions. However, little research has investigated how impulsivity and compulsivity relate to hypersexuality and problematic pornography use. Thus, the aims of the present study were to investigate (a) self-reported impulsivity and compulsivity with respect to hypersexuality and problematic pornography use a…
Associations Between Pornography Use Frequency, Pornography Use Motivations, and Sexual Wellbeing in Couples
Pornography use is prevalent, even among partnered individuals. Although pornography use motivations represent key predictors of sexual behaviors, prior studies only assessed the associations between pornography use frequency and sexual wellbeing, with mixed results. This cross-sectional dyadic study examined the associations between partners' individual and partnered pornography use frequency, motivations, and sexual wellbeing. Self-report data …

The Psychometric Properties of the Hypersexual Behavior Inventory Using a Large-Scale Nonclinical Sample
The conceptualization of hypersexuality has begun to converge as a result of proposed diagnostic criteria. However, its measurement is still diverse. The Hypersexual Behavior Inventory (HBI) is one of the most appropriate scales used to assess hypersexuality, but further examination is needed to test its psychometric properties among different clinical and nonclinical groups, including samples outside of the United States. The aim of the present …
Why Do People Watch Pornography? Cross-Cultural Validation of the Pornography Use Motivations Scale (Pums) and Its Short Form (Pums-8)
Motivations for pornography use may vary across gender identities, sexual orientations, and geographical regions, warranting examination to promote individual and public health. The aims of this study were to validate the Pornography Use Motivations Scale (PUMS) in a diverse, multicultural sample, and develop a short form (PUMS-8) that can assess a wide range of pornography use motivations.

Bullying Victimization and Sexual Wellbeing in Sexually Active Heterosexual, Cisgender and Sexual/Gender Minority Adolescents: The Mediating Role of Emotion Regulation
Associations Between Contents of Pornography and Sexual Satisfaction and Function Among Young Adults
Pornography offers a wide variety of sexual contents and has documented potential positive (e.g., higher sexual satisfaction) and negative associations (e.g., lower sexual function) with sexuality. The aims of this study were to describe the proportion of use of five different contents of pornography (i.e. group sex, passion and romance, gender-bending, taboo transgression and forbidden sex, power, control, and rough sex pornography), to examine …
Cross-cultural Validation of the Arizona Sexual Experience Scale (Asex) in 42 Countries and 26 Languages
Introduction The Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASEX) is a brief questionnaire that evaluates five major aspects of sexual function: sex drive, arousal, erectile function/vaginal lubrication, ability to reach orgasm, and satisfaction with orgasm. An advantage of the ASEX is its simplicity and brevity (five items), making it suitable for the screening of sexual function problems in healthcare contexts and large-scale studies. The main objective…
A Validation Study of the Global Measure of Sexual Satisfaction in Sexually Active Adolescents
Positive views of adolescents' sexuality have only begun to garner interest in the last two decades. Despite great strides in this emerging area, progress is limited by the paucity of valid and reliable measures among this population. The goal of this study was to validate the widely used adult five-item Global Measure of Sexual Satisfaction (GMSEX) in a large sample of sexually active adolescents. A total of 1,036 adolescents (516 girls, 49.8%) …
The Associations of Pornography Use and Body Image Among Heterosexual and Sexual Minority Men
This study investigated the relationship between pornography use and men’s body image, utilizing the social comparison theory as the theoretical framework. The research focused on a moderated mediation model, examining the role of social body comparison as a mediator between pornography use (frequency and problematic use) and men’s body image. The sample consisted of 726 men aged 18–68, with 223 (30.7%) identifying as sexual minorities. Sexual mi…
Longitudinal associations between childhood maltreatment and sexual motivations in couples: The role of basic psychological needs
Childhood maltreatment (CM) has been consistently associated with negative sexual outcomes in couples. Yet, its link with sexual motivation, which plays a key role in relational and sexual well-being, remains elusive. Based on self-determination theory, sexual motivations encompass intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation (i.e., integrated, identified, introjected, and external), and amotivation. This study examined the dyadic longitudinal asso…
Two sides of the same coin: The differentiating role of need satisfaction and frustration in passion for screen‐based activities
Rooted in Self‐Determination Theory, the present research sought to investigate whether the “bright” and “dark” side of human functioning (need satisfaction and need frustration, respectively) would, as determinants, differentially predict harmonious passion ( HP ) and obsessive passion ( OP ) for screen‐based activities such as Facebook use, TV series watching, online gaming, and smartphone gaming. For this purpose, four cross‐sectional studies …
Are pornography use motivations related to behaviors toward the romantic partner? A dyadic daily diary study
Individuals in couple relationships often use pornography. Previous findings are inconsistent regarding how pornography use may affect couples and tend to focus on overall use and broad retrospective indicators of relationship functioning (e.g., relationship satisfaction). No research has considered the motivations behind pornography use and how they relate to daily dynamics between partners. Yet, the approach-avoidance sexual motivation theory s…
Cross-Cultural Validation of the Sexual Desire Inventory (SDI-2) in 42 Countries and 26 Languages
