Abstract(s)
Introdução: A insatisfação com a imagem corporal é uma problemática frequente entre as mulheres, com impactos relevantes na autoestima, saúde mental e vivência da sexualidade. Com o aumento do consumo de pornografia online por mulheres jovens, torna-se fundamental compreender o impacto desta exposição na perceção corporal e na saúde sexual feminina.
Método: No total, 309 mulheres com idades entre os 18 e os 35 anos (M_idade = 23.81; DP_idade = 4.52), preencheram um questionário online. O protocolo incluiu questões sociodemográficas e três instrumentos psicométricos validados: o Female Sexual Function Index – 6 itens (FSFI-6), que avaliou o funcionamento sexual; a Body Satisfaction Scale – Female (BSS-F), que avaliou a satisfação com a imagem corporal em dois fatores (Gordura/Aparência Geral e Aspetos Estéticos Periféricos); e o Internet Addiction Test adaptado ao consumo de pornografia, que mediu o uso problemático deste tipo de conteúdo. A análise recorreu à modelagem por equações estruturais (SEM), com o objetivo de examinar as relações preditoras entre o consumo de pornografia, o funcionamento sexual e a satisfação corporal.
Resultados: No modelo de equações estruturais, verificou-se que o consumo problemático de pornografia predisse negativamente a satisfação com aspetos estéticos periféricos da imagem corporal, como o rosto, cabelo, pelos e pele (β = -0.30; p 0.003). Por outro lado, um melhor funcionamento sexual predisse positivamente a satisfação com a gordura corporal e aparência geral (β = 0.20; p < 0.005).
Introduction: Body image dissatisfaction is a common issue among women, with significant impacts on self-esteem, mental health, and sexual well-being. With the increasing consumption of online pornography by young women, it becomes essential to understand the impact of such exposure on body perception and female sexual health. Method: A total of 309 Portuguese, aged between 18 and 35 years (M_age = 23.81; SD = 4.52), completed an online questionnaire. The protocol included sociodemographic questions and three validated psychometric instruments: the Female Sexual Function Index – 6 items (FSFI-6), which assessed sexual functioning; the Body Satisfaction Scale – Female (BSS-F), which assessed body image satisfaction across two dimensions (Body Fat/General Appearance and Peripheral Aesthetic Features); and the Internet Addiction Test adapted for pornography use, which measured problematic pornography consumption. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to examine predictive relationships between pornography consumption, sexual functioning, and body satisfaction. Results: The structural equation model showed that problematic pornography consumption negatively predicted satisfaction with peripheral aesthetic features of the body, such as the face, hair, body hair, and skin (β = -0.30; p = 0.003). In contrast, better sexual functioning positively predicted satisfaction with body fat and general appearance (β = 0.20; p < 0.005).
