Religion, Morality, Ethics, and Problematic Pornography Use

Abstract

Purpose of Review: The present review focuses on relationships between sexuality and religion, moral values, and ethics. Recent Findings: Religious and ethical beliefs and moral values may influence sexuality including perception of pornography and its frequency of use, and engagement in sexual behaviors including pornography viewing may impact these domains. Summary: Within this context, implications for sexuality and related psychiatric conditions and models (e.g., relating to compulsive sexual behavior disorder and moral incongruence) are considered.
