Relationships between cyber sex consumption patterns, inhibitory control and level of sexual satisfaction in men

The use of Cybersex can generate addiction in internet users and may be related to their
executive functioning and sexual satisfaction. The objective is to analyze the relationship between
cybersex consumption, inhibitory control and sexual satisfaction in 120 men between
20 and 29 years old, through the Internet Sex Screening Test, the Stroop test and a Sexual
Wellbeing Questionnaire. The results indicated a high level of risky (20.8%) and addictive
(6.7%) consumption. A positive relationship was obtained between inhibitory control and
sexual well-being (rho =2.94; p <.001) and a negative relationship between sexual well-being
and cybersex consumption (rho =-0.21; p <.019). There was no association between addictive
patterns of cybersex consumption and inhibitory control. When comparing cybersex
consumption patterns, significant differences in emotional well-being (H = 8.15; p <.043) were
observed, with recreational consumers presenting greater satisfaction. The results allow us to
report on topics scarcely studied in Chile, highlighting the high consumption of cybersex and
the absence of a relationship between inhibitory control and cybersex consumption, at least
not in presence of stimuli related to cybersex.
