Motivations for Selecting Sexual Media Content

Abstract | Word Stems | Keywords | Association | Citation | Get this Document | Similar Titles



Abstract:

Sexual media content is often considered to be appealing in a very basic sense—it can be arousing, is often novel, and can provide a sense of realism or backstage behavior. But what makes media users more likely to select such content at some times and less likely at others? Building upon the foundation of Uses and Gratifications Theory and Terror Management Theory, I argue that a number of specific needs may drive the selection of sexual media content, including the need to quell existential anxiety. Experimental results supporting this proposition are reported.
