The Relief of Sexual Problems through Pornography

Abstract

SynopsisAs sexually explicit materials circulate widely and are recommended for use in sex therapy, it is important to examine the scientific foundations for claimed efficacy. The term pornography is examined first in order to establish important distinctions between different materials. The case for pornography, as advanced by Wilson (1978) is then examined critically. It appears that the case for pornography in treating marital and sexual problems has not been made.
