Young women (n = 1,000), visiting a family planning clinic in Stockholm,
Sweden, answered a questionnaire about their sexual behavior and if they
had seen pornography. Four out of five had consumed pornography, and one-third
of these believed that pornography had impacted their sexual behavior.
As many as 47% had experienced anal intercourse, which was significantly
more common among older women (51%) than among teenagers (31%). The
majority valued anal intercourse as a negative experience. As the
use of a condom was low (40%) when having anal intercourse, the consequences
for the spread of sexually transmitted diseases should be considered.
