dc.description.abstractThis study aimed to examine the association between cyber pornography use, sexual health literacy, and sexual function in women of reproductive age. This cross-sectional study was conducted via an online platform using Google Forms between January 25 and February 23, 2025, with 1,202 female participants aged 18-35. Data were collected using a Data Collection Form, the Cyber Pornography Use Scale-9 (CPUS-9), the Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASEX), and the Sexual Health Literacy Scale (SHLS). The average age of the participants was 23.19 +/- 3.34 years. The mean total score for CPUS-9 was 2.26 +/- 1.34, for ASEX was 14.98 +/- 6.80, and for SHLS was 57.65 +/- 13.18. A weak positive correlation was found between CPUS-9 and SHLS, while a weak negative correlation was observed between ASEX and SHLS. According to regression analysis, as sexual dysfunction increased in women, cyber pornography use also increased (beta = 0.550), resulting in a 0.57-unit increase. Furthermore, as sexual health literacy increased, cyber pornography use also increased (beta = 0.190), leading to a 0.19-unit increase. The findings suggest that cyber pornography use in women is associated with sexual function and sexual health, and these associations may relate to individuals' levels of sexual health literacy.
