Abstract

Abstract Internet Pornography (IP) is a phenomenon that has been the focus of much research and debate recently, yet there is still a lack of consensus regarding when the use of IP becomes problematic. There is also a lack of qualitative research on the effects of IP on those who self-identify as experiencing problematic use. This phenomenological, qualitative study surveyed 53 self-identified users of IP. Thematic analysis of the results found that users experienced a number of psychosocial impacts attributed to their use of IP, such as diminished positive mental health and wellbeing, detrimental effects on relationships and intimacy, and symptoms of dependency. Suggestions for further research are made.

摘要网络色情(IP)是近年来研究和争论的焦点，但对于IP的使用何时成为问题，仍然缺乏共识。关于IP对那些自认为有问题使用的人的影响，也缺乏定性研究。这项现象定性研究调查了53名IP用户。对结果进行的专题分析发现，用户因使用知识产权而遭受了一些心理社会影响，例如积极的心理健康和福祉减弱，对关系和亲密关系产生不利影响，以及出现依赖症状。提出了进一步研究的建议。

期刊介绍： Now being understood and treated as a significant and widespread disorder, sexual addiction and compulsivity is an enormously complex problem that requires a multidisciplinary approach from psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, family therapists, pastoral counselors, and law enforcement personnel. The first and only journal devoted to topics pertaining to this growing illness, Sexual Addiction & Compulsivity: The Journal of Treatment and Prevention is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for research and clinical practice. As the source for information in this expanding new field, this journal will give practicing clinicians useful and innovative strategies for intervention and treatment from the necessary multidisciplinary perspective.
