Relaciones entre patrón de consumo de cibersexo, control inhibitorio y nivel de satisfacción sexual en hombres

Abstract

The use of Cybersex can generate addiction in internet users and may be related to their executive functioning and sexual satisfaction. The objective is to analyze the relationship between cybersex consumption, inhibitory control and sexual satisfaction in 120 men between 20 and 29 years old, through the Internet Sex Screening Test, the Stroop test and a Sexual Wellbeing Questionnaire. The results indicated a high level of risky (20.8%) and addictive (6.7%) consumption. A positive relationship was obtained between inhibitory control and sexual well-being (rho =2.94; p <.001) and a negative relationship between sexual well-being and cybersex consumption (rho =-0.21; p <.019). There was no association between addictive patterns of cybersex consumption and inhibitory control. When comparing cybersex consumption patterns, significant differences in emotional well-being (H = 8.15; p <.043) were observed, with recreational consumers presenting greater satisfaction. The results allow us to report on topics scarcely studied in Chile, highlighting the high consumption of cybersex and the absence of a relationship between inhibitory control and cybersex consumption, at least not in presence of stimuli related to cybersex.
