Foi observado um aumento na frequência de visualização de pornografia durante o distanciamento social que ocorreu como medida de contenção face à pandemia provocada pela COVID-19. São várias as possíveis causas para este aumento, no entanto, a literatura face ao tema é ainda escassa. Objectivo: Compreender e explorar as experiências das mulheres com pornografia durante o distanciamento social, dando ênfase aos sentimentos de solidão, aborrecimento e ansiedade, às alterações na frequência de relações sexuais e às alterações nas rotinas de trabalho e de estudo. Método: A amostra foi constituída por 197 mulheres com mais de 18 anos, que reportaram ter visto pornografia no último ano. Foi criado um questionário com base na literatura, que se dividiu em cinco secções: dados demográficos, dados relativos ao distanciamento social, hábitos sexuais e de visualização de pornografia antes e durante o distanciamento social, impacto do distanciamento social na visualização de pornografia e uma última secção que consistia numa questão aberta relativa às alterações na visualização de pornografia durante o distanciamento social. Resultados: Os resultados foram divididos em duas secções: análise estatística e análise temática (referente à questão aberta). Na análise estatística não foram observadas diferenças na frequência de visualização de pornografia antes e durante o distanciamento social. Especificamente não foram observadas diferenças na frequência de visualização em participantes que se sentiram mais sozinhas, mais aborrecidas, mais ansiosas, que tiveram relações sexuais com menos frequência durante o distanciamento social ou que trabalharam a partir de casa ou não trabalharam durante o distanciamento social. No entanto, várias participantes reportaram que o distanciamento social teve impacto na sua visualização de pornografia. No âmbito da análise temática foram identificados três temas: 1) Pornografia enquanto ferramenta, 2) Pornografia como prescindível e 3) Não há espaço para a pornografia.
Our review of the literature seems to imply an increase in the frequency of pornography visualization during the social distancing that occurred has a measure for containing the pandemic caused by COVID-19. There are several possible causes for this increase but the literature on the subject is still scarce. Objective: Understand and explore the experiences of women with pornography during social distancing, emphasizing feelings of loneliness, boredom and anxiety, changes in the frequency of sexual intercourse, and changes in work and study routines. Method: The sample consisted of 197 women over 18, who reported seeing pornography in the last year. We created a questionnaire based on the literature, which was divided into five sections: demographic data, data relating to the period of social distancing, sexual habits and pornography viewing habits before and during social distancing, the impact of social distancing on pornography viewing, and one last section with an open question regarding the changes in viewing pornography during social distancing. Results: The results were divided into two sections: statistical analysis and thematic analysis (referring to the open question). In the statistical analysis, no differences were observed in the frequency of pornography viewing before and during social distancing. Specifically, no differences were observed regarding the frequency of visualization by participants who felt more alone, bored or anxious, who had sex less frequently or who worked from home or did not work during social distancing. However, several participants reported that social distancing had an impact on their pornography viewing. Within the thematic analysis, three themes were identified: 1) Pornography as a tool, 2) Pornography as dispensable, and 3) There is no space for pornography.
