A majority (60%) of young women report having used porn before the age of 18. Among them, 80% perceived porn as a form of sex education, especially with regard to sexual pleasure. Those who received abstinence-only sex ed were more likely to seek out porn. psychologytoday.com/us/blog/…

New research (n=32 women) suggests that simply disclosing porn use to a partner in depth and without shame might reduce fears of negative effects.

Therapists forcing abstinence may harm clients, support sex communication instead of porn reduction.

"the importance of emotional affect in the images as well as the lack of association with psychopathy suggests that the ubiquitous nature of external ejaculations in pornography is not likely rooted in attempts to degrade"

A recent study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior has found a relationship between the type of sexuality education women receive and their subsequent use of pornography. dlvr.it/TB4398

"Core findings and limitations to stereotype threat, microaggressions, and implicit bias are discussed... The consequences of researchers overselling findings manifest differently, but in many ways more seriously, for implicit bias and microaggressions"

A meta-analytic study found that the frequency and intensity of social media use do not consistently affect well-being, highlighting other factors that play a more significant role in mental health outcomes. dlvr.it/T9Y9wc

People often switch between videos and fast-forward through them on platforms like YouTube &
TikTok. Here, we wondered if people consume media this way to avoid boredom; This is ironic because we also found that such viewing behaviour increases boredom and decreases satisfaction
Now in press at Journal of Experimental Psychology: General
With @minzlicht , we found that people fast-forward and switch between videos to avoid boredom, but paradoxically, this makes them more bored.

Increased mental health awareness is linked to more self-diagnoses, potentially inflating mental illness rates by broadening concepts of mental disorders and pathologizing everyday distress, especially among young people. dlvr.it/T9N5Pr

Chris Hayes’ inclusion of the proposed porn ban is newsworthy because many of the liberal and Democratic politicians and commentators criticizing Project 2025’s proposals notably have left it out of their lists of things they object to:

Aella explains some very interesting data about porn and sex. "I asked men how much porn they watch and then I asked them to predict what things women would like in bed. And then I asked women, if a man tried this in bed, how much would you like it?
Men who watched porn more were more accurate in their predictions about what women would like. The least accurate men were the guys who did not watch porn at all."

Thanks for the shout-out, Nikky- my PhD student @dilannkilic carried out the study so kudos to her 🙌👏
New study reports female masturbation in relationships appears less stigmatized. Also, positive attitudes towards female masturbation were associated with higher sexual satisfaction of both (mixed sex) partners @cygraham_graham

Requiring ID viewers to submit ID on adult sites really sounds like a pretty good idea, I mean we get ID'd for alcohol, cigarettes, and more right? How is this any different?
A list of the ways it's very different and very bad 🧵:
