Very excited to share this one with you all!
It was both a shock & an honor to get an email from the editors at Current Directions asking for a paper on this topic, and I'm glad to see it out in print.
Feel free to share/RT widely (please!)
Obviously, as I'm sure you all know, internet pornography use is incredibly common.
Yet, despite how common pornography use is, the premiere outlets for psychological science have all-but-ignored the topic for 30th years.
Now, it wasn't always this way. In the 1960s-1980s, there were actually quite a few excellent (though early) papers in JPSP and even American Psychologist about the use of "erotica," but since about 1985, there's just nothing.
Now, I suppose that this would be reasonable if nothing significant had changed about use in the past three decades, but, as I'm sure you are all aware, there have been some major technological changes that have affected use.
