Abstract

This study investigated the motivations for internet pornography search and perception on cybersex focusing on the role of gender difference and previous internet pornography use with 203 college students. The motivations included sexual relationships, masturbation, and sexual curiosity factors. Males searched for sexual relationships and masturbation, but females searched for satisfying sexual curiosity. The perception on cybersex included 2 factors-alternative sex and real sex. For males and females, no differences were found in the perceptions of engaging in sexual behavior exchanging sexual messages online similarly. The implications of the research were discussed in terms of sexual health.

이 연구에서는 인터넷 포르노그래피 탐색 이유와 사이버섹스에 대한 인식이 어떠한지를 성별과 기존 인터넷 포르노그래피 이용량을 중심으로 분석했다. 이를 위해 인터넷 포르노그래피 이용경험이 있는 남녀대학생 203명의 응답을 이용했다. 인터넷 포르노그래피 탐색이유는 파트너와의 성관계, 자위행위, 성적호기심 요인으로 구분되었다. 분석결과, 남성들은 직접적 성관계와 자위행위를 위한 도구적 차원에서 탐색하고 있었지만, 여성들은 성에 대한 궁금증 및 무료함을 벗어나기 위한 수단으로 탐색하고 있었다. 사이버섹스는 대안적 섹스와 실제 섹스로 구분되었다. 분석결과, 남녀 모두 온라인에서 파트너와 성적인 메시지를 주고받으면서 성적행위를 하는 것에 대해 차이를 보이지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과와 성관련 건강에 대한 함의가 함께 논의되었다.
