Description
This study examined the relationship between pornography use and memory for sexual and neutral words. One hundred and five undergraduates read two mixed lists of 13 sexual and 13 neutral words and were tested for recall. They also completed a questionnaire measuring how frequently they read or watched pornography, the Eysenck Personality Inventory measuring extraversion and faking, and a questionnaire measuring sex anxiety. Participants correctly remembered more sexual words than neutral words. There was no relationship between pornography use and recall of neutral words, but participants who reported that they accessed pornography recalled more sexual words than those who reported that they never did. It is argued that users of pornography are more interested in sexual words than non-users and may process the words more deeply. **********
