前言人们注意到，使用露骨的色情材料可能会对性行为产生不利影响，特别是在年轻人中。以前的研究普遍发现，消费SEM与所调查的性行为之间存在显著的关联。然而，这些研究大多集中在与性传播感染或性侵犯有关的性行为上，和/或未能充分控制相关协变量。因此，需要更深入地研究消费电子邮件与更广泛的性行为之间的关系。目的本研究旨在调查年轻人的电子邮件消费模式，并评估电子邮件消费与一系列性行为之间的关联强度，以控制先前显示的影响这些关系的一系列变量。方法对荷兰4,600名15-25岁的年轻人进行了在线横断面调查研究。主要结果测量是自我报告的电子邮件消费和性行为。用多层次多元回归分析控制其他因素，发现消费电子邮件与各种性行为之间存在显著关联，可解释被调查性行为的总解释变量的0.3%~4%。结论本研究表明，在控制其他重要因素的情况下，电子邮件消费会影响性行为。在控制了其他变量后，消费SEM和性行为之间出现的小到中等的关联表明，SEM只是可能影响青少年性行为的众多因素之一。这些发现为正在进行的关于SEM消费在性行为和风险中的作用的辩论提供了新的信息，并为关注年轻人的性教育和性健康促进的政策制定者和项目开发人员提供了适当的指导。哈尔德·GM、库伊珀·L、亚当·PCG和德维特·JBF。观看能解释做什么吗？在荷兰青少年和年轻人的大样本中评估性露骨材料使用和性行为之间的联系。J Sex Med 2013；10：2986-2995。
IntroductionConcerns have been voiced that the use of sexually explicit materials (SEMs) may adversely affect sexual behaviors, particularly in young people. Previous studies have generally found significant associations between SEM consumption and the sexual behaviors investigated. However, most of these studies have focused on sexual behaviors related to sexually transmitted infections or sexual aggression and/or failed to adequately control for relevant covariates. Thus, research more thoroughly investigating the association between SEM consumption and a broader range of sexual behaviors is needed.AimsThe study aims to investigate SEM consumption patterns of young people, and to assess the strength of the association between SEM consumption and a range of sexual behaviors, controlling for a comprehensive array of variables previously shown to affect these relationships.MethodsOnline cross-sectional survey study of 4,600 young people, 15-25 years of age, in The Netherlands was performed.Main Outcomes MeasuresThe main outcome measures were self-reported SEM consumption and sexual practices.ResultsThe study found that 88% of men and 45% of women had consumed SEM in the past 12 months. Using hierarchical multiple regression analyses to control for other factors, the association between SEM consumption and a variety of sexual behaviors was found to be significant, accounting for between 0.3% and 4% of the total explained variance in investigated sexual behaviors.ConclusionsThis study suggests that, when controlling for important other factors, SEM consumption influences sexual behaviors. The small to moderate associations that emerged between SEM consumption and sexual behavior after controlling for other variables suggest that SEM is just one factor among many that may influence youth sexual behaviors. These findings contribute novel information to the ongoing debates on the role of SEM consumption in sexual behaviors and risk, and provide appropriate guidance to policy makers and program developers concerned with sexual education and sexual health promotion for young people.
