Religiosity, Pornography Consumption, and Sex Differences: Associations with Young Adults\u27 Sexual Satisfaction and Infidelity
Due to the influence of both sexual satisfaction and infidelity within romantic relationships, with infidelity and lack of sexual satisfaction being associated with relationship dissolution for young adults, it is important to investigate what factors relate to both aspects. This study examines the relationship between young adults’ religiosity, pornography consumption, and biological sex to sexual satisfaction and chances of committing infidelity. Specifically, this study used young adults as participants, identified as individuals between the ages of 18 and 28 years old. A total of 116 participants received the survey through the Cloud research platform online. This study included 76 of these participants for analysis (Mage = 25.82, 59.2% Male). For results, data was analyzed through bivariate correlations and ANOVAs. This study found significant results between religiosity and infidelity, indicating that young adults that consumed more pornography were also more likely to commit infidelity; additionally, young adults that consumed more pornography experienced less sexual satisfaction. No significant results were found between religiosity and sexual satisfaction or between biological sexes and sexual satisfaction or infidelity. This study expanded on previous research and provided new evidence for what associates with sexual satisfaction or infidelity which could be used in clinical settings to assist young adults struggling with sexual satisfaction or infidelity in romantic relationships
