摘要

Social scientific studies have for decades focused on the potential effects of pornography use on social attitudes. An increasing area of social scientific pornography research focuses on dysregulated pornography use and its associated personal consequences. Rarely have these two important pornography research areas overlapped. A recent Sexuality & Culture article by Liatsou and colleagues titled “Problematic Internet Pornography Use and Sexist Attitudes” represents an innovative effort to bring these two research areas together. Using this significant work as a springboard, this commentary explores how pornography use frequency, problematic pornography use, and hostile attitudes toward women may interrelate among heterosexual men. The Dependency-Resentment Hypothesis of Men’s Problematic Pornography Use and Hostile Attitudes Toward Women is presented along with initial empirical support. We hope that many subsequent studies explore the viability of our hypothesis, and that Sexuality & Culture continues to be a leading venue for the dissemination of high-quality social scientific pornography research.
