Introduction: Pornography can contribute to the sexual development of young people but it can also be a facilitator of sexual dissatisfaction, given the false models it represents.
Methodology: 250 men and 250 women, with an average age of 21.11 years (SD=1.56), carried out an online questionnaire about viewing pornography. 72.2% were heterosexual and 27.8% non-heterosexual.
Results: 68% of participants have seen gay porn, 81.8% lesbian and 92% heterosexual. According to the excitement, among those who have viewed each type of material, 45.9% of men and 41.8% of women have been excited by gay porn, and 25.8% of men and 6.6% of women have felt discomfort for being aroused. With the lesbian, 78.3% of men and 71.5% of women have been excited, and 4.2% of women and no man have felt discomfort for that. Finally, with the heterosexual, 93.9% of men and 94% of women have been excited, and 1.3% of men and 4.9% of women have experienced discomfort with their excitement. Significant gender differences have been observed in the different percentages of viewing and discomfort, but not in those of excitation.
Conclusions: Gender seems to be a differential factor in the consumption of pornography, as well as the associated discomfort. Therefore, its analysis should be deepened, as well as taken into account when developing appropriate sex education programs for the healthy use of pornography.
Keywords: pornography, excitement, discomfort, gender.
