Abstract

In the 21st century, there was a tremendous increase in the usage of the internet, social media & smartphones, which led to profound variations in sexual habits. Consequently, significant changes were seen among adults under 49 years of age (Bulot et al., 2015). These days, the internet is the primary source of consuming pornography. A recent review reported that most adult men had accessed pornography at some point in their lives, and younger people below 25 years of age are weekly consumers of pornography (Miller et al., 2020). Generally, increased consumption of pornography is associated with sexual activity and sexual experimentation often portrayed in pornography (Træen and Daneback, 2013). The escalated utilization of images related to sexual nature developed the permanent online presence of the pornography industry. Due to cultural constraints and stigma attached to moral status, it is difficult for researchers to define pornography (Lindgren, 1993). They use euphemistic terms to mention pornography, such as uncensored media or materials, aphrodisiacal or online sexual activity (Carroll et al. 2008; Lindgren 1993; Manning 2006; Short et al., 2012).
