Rev Bras Enferm. 2021 Jul 26;74(6):e20210061. doi: 10.1590/0034-7167-2021-0061. eCollection 2021.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the factors associated with sex without the use of condoms in consumers of sexually explicit media (SEM).

METHODS: Cross-sectional study, with a sample of 172 participants selected and collected through social media. To assess the predictors of unprotected sexual practices, the Poisson regression model was used. Values were expressed as a robust prevalence ratio (PR) with their respective confidence intervals.

RESULTS: There was a statistically significant association between, the use of condoms and the type of scenes that the participants prefer (p = 0.03), the preference for films with scenes involving unprotected sex or even those that do not care about protection (p = 0.02), the type of pornography watched influencing sexual relations (p = 0.017), and the number of scenes seen per week (p = 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS: The lack of condom use was associated with the access to erotic scenes.
