Abstract
This brief report examined correlations between Korean men’s interest in gonzo pornography, perceptions of pornography’s functional value, and use of condoms. Neither a higher interest in gonzo pornography nor the perception that pornography is a source of sexual information were directly related to condom utilization. However, interest in gonzo pornography interacted with pornography perceptions to account for variability in condomless sex. Simple-slope tests indicated that there was no association between gonzo interest and condom use when men disagreed that pornography is a source of sexual information. Conversely, gonzo interest became increasingly associated with a lower likelihood of using condoms as agreement that pornography is a source of sexual information strengthened. This finding supports the hypothesis that consumers will be most likely to reference pornographic scripts to inform their own sexual behavior when they perceive pornography as a form of sexual pedagogy. It also supports calls for increased efforts at pornography literacy education.
