- Cyber pornography use inventory-9: factor structure and psychometric properties in the Portuguese populationPublication . Cardoso, J.; Ramos, C.; Almeida, T.; Gomes, A.; Fernandes, A.; Ribeiro, R.Online pornography is characterized by easy and anonymous accessibility, as well as free or low cost.

Several, mainly negative, effects have been reported, related to exposure to pornography, including more permissive sexual norms, inappropriate attitudes towards gender roles, unrealistic expectations, decreased sexual interest in the partner, lower relational and sexual satisfaction, sexual addiction, and devaluation or legitimation of sexual violence.
- Perceived addiction to online pornography and sexual attitudes in Portuguese college studentsPublication .

College students are usually associated with more permissive sexual attitudes that elicit a greater acceptance of internet pornography, which can be addictive. The main objective of this study was to characterize the use of online pornography and sexual attitudes in Portuguese college students, confirming if they are related and analyzing if these variables differ according to sociodemographic aspects: gender, sexual orientation, marital status, romantic relationship and educational level.
