Ben Brahim F, Courtois R, Vera Cruz G, Khazaal Y. Predictors of compulsive cyberporn use: A machine learning analysis. Addict Behav Rep 2024; 19:100542. [PMID: 38560011 PMCID: PMC10979147 DOI: 10.1016/j.abrep.2024.100542] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2023] [Revised: 03/15/2024] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Compulsive cyberporn use (CCU) has previously been reported among people who use cyberporn. However, most of the previous studies included convenience samples of students or samples of the general adult population. Research examining the factors that predict or are associated with CCU are still scarce.In this study, we aimed to (a) assess compulsive cyberporn consumption in a broad sample of people who had used cyberporn and (b) determine, among a diverse range of predictor variables, which are most important in CCU scores, as assessed with the eight-item Compulsive Internet Use Scale adapted for cyberporn. Materials and Methods Overall, 1584 adult English speakers (age: 18-75 years, M = 33.18; sex: 63.1 % male, 35.2 % female, 1.7 % nonbinary) who used cyberporn during the last 6 months responded to an online questionnaire that assessed sociodemographic, sexual, psychological, and psychosocial variables. Their responses were subjected to correlation analysis, analysis of variance, and machine learning analysis. Results Among the participants, 21.96% (in the higher quartile) presented CCU symptoms in accordance with their CCU scores. The five most important predictors of CCU scores were related to the users' strength of craving for pornography experiences, suppression of negative emotions porn use motive, frequency of cyberporn use over the past year, acceptance of rape myths, and anxious attachment style. Conclusions From a large and diverse pool of variables, we determined the most important predictors of CCU scores. The findings contribute to a better understanding of problematic pornography use and could enrich compulsive cyberporn treatment and prevention.

Abstract
La sexualité est un aspect central de la personne humaine qui, devant des problèmes sexuels, va fréquemment se tourner vers une source qu'elle considère compétente et bien informée, son médecin. Les objectifs de notre étude étaient d’évaluer les connaissances, les attitudes et les pratiques des étudiants en médecine en termes de sexualité et d’identifier les principaux déterminants du manque de connaissances basiques à ce sujet. Notre étude était descriptive et analytique, menée auprès des étudiants à la faculté de médecine de Sfax (Tunisie). Le questionnaire, rempli individuellement et de manière anonyme par chaque étudiant, recueillait les données sociodémographiques, les connaissances en matière de sexualité ainsi que leurs sources, les attitudes adoptées par les étudiants vis-à-vis de la sexualité et les pratiques sexuelles. La note totale moyenne relative aux questions de sexologie était de 11,05/20. Les facteurs corrélés à un score moyen élevé aux questions de sexologie étaient le sexe masculin (p=0,003), le statut de marié (p=0,012), le niveau socio-économique élevé (p=0,02), les livres comme source d’informations (p=0,041) et la présence de pratiques sexuelles (p<0,001). Ces pratiques étaient toutes significativement plus fréquentes chez les étudiants de sexe masculin (p<0,001). Des lacunes dans les connaissances en matière de sexualité existent chez les étudiants en médecine, du moins dans certains de ses aspects. Un programme d'enseignement complet et uniforme sur la sexualité humaine, surtout dans ses aspects physiologiques, peut sensiblement améliorer la capacité des futurs médecins à fournir des soins optimaux à leurs patients.

Methods We conducted a cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study of students aged 10-19 years attending colleges and high schools in Matoto, Conakry over a period of 3 months (1 March -31 May 2018). Results Out of 500 students surveyed, 226 (162 girls and 64 boys; 45.2%) reported having sexual intercourse. Condom was used by 16.4% of students and contraceptives by 35.4%. The rate of sexually transmitted infections was 23.5%. Among girls who had sexual intercourse, 32.1% had had at least one unintended pregnancy ending in clandestine abortion in 30.8% of cases. The factor associated with sexual practices among adolescents was night life (p = 0.000). Conclusion Sexual intercourse is frequent among adolescent students in Matoto. Condom and contraceptives are little used. In our study, night life was the principal factor associated with sexual practice.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore liked pornographic content and real-life experience with the depicted sexual activities in a nationwide sample of 1,197 German university students. The results indicate that there is a positive, content-specific association. Generally, the link was stronger for less conventional (less widespread) practices. However, a considerable proportion of participants had no interest to experience activities they liked in pornography and this was especially the case for the unconventional activities. This indicates that pornography use may constitute a distinct form of sexuality and may create an "intimate space" for sexual fantasies.
