Abstract
The link between adolescents’ exposure to sexual media content and their sexual socialization has hardly been approached from an identity development framework. Moreover, existing research has largely ignored the role of adolescents’ exposure to sexually explicit Internet material in that association.
This study introduces two characteristics of adolescents’ sexual self—sexual uncertainty and attitudes toward sexual exploration—and investigates these characteristics as potential correlates of adolescents’ exposure to sexually explicit Internet material. Drawing from a sample of 2,343 Dutch adolescents aged 13 to 20, le authors find that more frequent exposure to sexually explicit Internet material is associated with greater sexual uncertainty and more positive attitudes toward uncommitted sexual exploration (i.e., sexual relations with casual partners/friends or with sexual partners in one-night stands). The findings call for more attention to adolescents’ exposure to sexually explicit material on the Internet and identity-related issues.

- Uphando lwamva nje lubonisa ukuba ubudlelwane bukhona phakathi kwabakwishumi elivisayo abatyhilekileyo kwi-Intanethi kunye nokufumana iinkolelo ezahlukeneyo zesondo. UPeter noValkenburg (2008b) bathi izinto ezibonisa isondo ngokucacileyo zinokubonelela ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo zokuziphatha ngokwesondo kubabukeli, kwaye ezi nkolelo zinokwahluka kwezo zifakwe kulutsha kwiintsapho nakwizikolo zabo. Oku kungavisisani, okanye ukungqubana kweenkolelo zesini, kubangelwa kukungaqiniseki ngokwesini (UPeter noValkenburg, 2008b).
- A subsequent study by Peter and Valkenburg (2008b) also indicated a relationship between adolescent exposure to sexually explicit material and positive attitudes related to engaging in uncommitted sexual exploration.
