Association between exposure to pornography involving physical violence and risky sexual behaviors in young adults
In both sexes, an association was identified between the consumption of pornography involving physical violence and sexual behaviors associated with risky sexual scripts. These findings, although the cross-sectional nature of the design does not allow for establishing causal relationships, underscore the need to implement policies that control access to pornography and promote a critical stance toward this practice.
