PORN SEX VS. REAL SEX: EXPLORING PORNOGRAPHY’S IMPACT ON SEXUAL BEHAVIORS, ATTITUDES, AND RELATIONSHIPS by STACY GORMAN Under the Direction of Wendy Simonds ABSTRACT For over forty years, researchers, activists, and policymakers have questioned how, if at all, pornography affects its viewers. Previous research has focused on how pornography relates to many factors including sexual risks, sexual permissiveness, violence, rape myth acceptance, and sexual behaviors. Much of this research, though, has been unable to identify the direction of the relationship between viewing sexually explicit material and various sexual attitudes and behaviors, and rarely studies a sample that is representative of the U.S. adult population. Instead, much of the research on pornography has relied on college student samples or other convenience samples. My study addresses these gaps by exploring a wide range of sexual behaviors and attitudes through surveying a sample of respondents who participate in online survey research panels.
