在COVID-19大流行给日常生活带来的诸多变化中，社交距离措施和政府强制实施的封城措施是其中最激烈的。与这些变化相吻合的是，流行的色情网站免费提供了一些以前的优质内容，刺激了这些网站的流量急剧增加。在家时间的增加以及据报特定色情网站流量的增加，使人们猜测，在大流行期间，使用色情制品的情况可能普遍增加，有问题的使用也可能增加。为了验证这些推测，并量化疫情及其相关的社会行为限制对色情使用的影响，我们分析了美国成年人的纵向样本数据。2019年8月，通过YouGov（N = 2518）收集了具有全国代表性的基线数据。后续数据收集于2020年2月（n = 1677）、2020年5月（n = 1533）、2020年8月（n = 1470）和2020年10月（n = 1269）。结果显示，在2020年5月，紧随第一波与流行病相关的封锁高峰之后，报告上个月使用色情内容的人数比其他后续时间点更多，但比基线少。在2020年5月报告使用的人中，只有14%的人报告自疫情开始以来使用量增加，到2020年8月，他们的使用量恢复到与所有其他使用者相似的水平。总的来说，在这一流行病期间，男性和女性使用色情制品的情况呈下降趋势。男性使用有问题的色情制品的比例呈下降趋势，女性的比例仍然很低，没有变化。总的来说，这些结果表明，在与流行病相关的封锁期间，对色情内容使用的许多担忧在很大程度上没有得到现有数据的支持。
Of the many changes in daily life brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, social distancing efforts and governmentally mandated lockdowns were among the most drastic. Coinciding with these changes, popular pornography websites made some previously premium content available for free, spurring dramatic increases in traffic to these websites. This increase in time spent at home and reported increases in traffic to specific pornographic websites led to some speculation that pornography use might generally increase over the course of the pandemic and that problematic use might also increase. To test these speculations and quantify the effects of the pandemic and its associated restrictions on social behaviors on pornography use, we analyzed data from a longitudinal sample of American adults. Baseline, nationally representative data were collected in August 2019 via YouGov (N = 2518). Subsequent data were collected in February 2020 (n = 1677), May 2020 (n = 1533), August 2020 (n = 1470), and October 2020 (n = 1269). Results indicated that, in May 2020, immediately following the height of the first wave of pandemic-related lockdowns, more people reported past-month pornography use than at other follow-up time points, but less did so than at baseline. Among those who reported use in May 2020, only 14% reported increases in use since the start of the pandemic, and their use returned to levels similar to all other users by August 2020. In general, pornography use trended downward over the pandemic, for both men and women. Problematic pornography use trended downward for men and remained low and unchanged in women. Collectively, these results suggest that many fears about pornography use during pandemic-related lockdowns were largely not supported by available data.
