Abstract:
Modern internet pornography allows users to harness sexual novelty in numerous ways, which can be used to overcome desensitisation through increasing volume of use (quantitative tolerance), progressing to more stimulating genres (qualitative escalation), skipping between stimuli (tab-jumping), delaying orgasm (\'edging\'), and engaging in pornographic binges. However, existing research has not yet evaluated how these potentially reciprocal consumption patterns relate to problematic pornography use (PPU). To this end, we recruited two independent samples of male pornography users (N1 = 1,356, Mage = 36.86, SD = 11.26; N2 = 944, Mage = 38.69, SD = 12.26) and examined the relationships between these behavioural dimensions and self-reported difficulties in controlling one\'s pornography use. Data were analysed through the network analysis approach (using Gaussian graphical models). As hypothesised, i) quantitative tolerance was centrally placed within the overall network, and ii) acted as a statistical bridge node between other patterns of pornography use (e.g., pornographic binges), and all measured facets of PPU. Our results are consistent with other emerging literature suggesting that tolerance, pornographic binges, tab-jumping, and edging behaviours as relevant features ofPPU, and that upscaling overall usage may connect broader patterns of use with problematic engagement. Clinical and theoretical implications, as well as future research directions, are discussed.
摘要:
现代网络色情允许用户以多种方式利用性新颖性,可用于通过增加使用量来克服脱敏(定量耐受性),发展到更刺激的流派(定性升级),在刺激之间跳跃(跳表),延迟性高潮(\'边缘\'),从事色情活动。然而,现有研究尚未评估这些潜在的互惠消费模式如何与有问题的色情使用(PPU)相关。为此,我们招募了两个独立的男性色情使用者样本(N1=1,356,Mage=36.86,SD=11.26;N2=944,Mage=38.69,SD=12.26),并研究了这些行为维度与自我报告的控制色情使用困难之间的关系.通过网络分析方法(使用高斯图形模型)分析数据。正如假设的那样,i)定量公差集中放置在整个网络中,和ii)充当其他色情使用模式之间的统计桥梁节点(例如,色情狂欢),以及PPU的所有测量面。我们的结果与其他新兴文献一致,表明耐受性,色情狂欢,标签跳跃,和边缘行为作为PPU的相关特征,扩大整体使用可能会将更广泛的使用模式与有问题的参与联系起来。临床和理论意义,以及未来的研究方向,正在讨论。
