Introduction

Unwanted exposure (UE) to sexual content may have important consequences on children/adolescents’ psychosexual development. Our objective was to analyze UE to online pornography, parental filter use, type of sexual contents seen, emotional/behavioral reactions, and UE as positive/traumatic experience in Spanish adolescents and to examine these experiences and reactions depending on the type of sexual content.

Methods

In 2020, 500 Spanish teenagers (13–18 years) completed an ad hoc questionnaire for the evaluation of different dimensions involved in UE to sexual contents, such as those mentioned in the study objectives.

Results

A high frequency of UE (88.2%) is observed. Regarding the kind of scenes, naked people, straight porn, and people showing genitals are the most unexpectedly seen. Adolescents used to react to the UE closing the window and deleting sexual materials. A greater predominance of negative emotions was revealed, and another noteworthy result is related to the role played by type of sexual content and gender. Gay scenes and being woman increased the probability of living the experience as non-positive, and being woman and viewing naked people/BDSM scenes/under-age sex were associated with reactions of rejection.

Conclusions

This study contributes significantly to the knowledge of UE to online pornography in adolescents. It provides valuable information about the role played by the type of sexual content seen and the gender in the diverse reactions/experiences derived from the UE to pornography.

Policy Implications

This topic, that is, involuntary exposure to online sexual material in adolescents, should be included in affective-sexual education and prevention programs at early ages, so that children/adolescents are already trained in healthy sexuality when facing this type of content for the first time. These programs, adjusted to the reality of our adolescents, will minimize the negative impact that UE may have on their psychosexual development.

西班牙青少年因无意接触网络色情而产生的经历和心理影响

介绍

无意接触性内容（UE）可能会对儿童/青少年的性心理发展产生重要影响。我们的目标是分析西班牙青少年对在线色情内容的 UE、家长过滤器的使用、所看到的性内容类型、情绪/行为反应以及作为积极/创伤经历的 UE，并根据性内容的类型检查这些经历和反应。

方法

2020年，500名西班牙青少年（13-18岁）完成了一份临时问卷，用于评估UE对性内容涉及的不同维度，例如研究目标中提到的那些。

结果

观察到 UE 出现频率较高（88.2%）。就场景类型而言，裸体、异性恋和露出生殖器的场景是最出乎意料的。青少年过去常常对 UE 关闭窗口和删除性内容做出反应。结果显示，负面情绪占主导地位，另一个值得注意的结果与性内容类型和性别所扮演的角色有关。同性恋场景和女性身份增加了消极体验的可能性，而女性身份和观看裸体人/BDSM场景/未成年性行为与拒绝反应相关。

结论

这项研究对青少年对网络色情的 UE 知识做出了重大贡献。它提供了有关所看到的性内容类型以及性别在 UE 对色情内容的不同反应/体验中所扮演的角色的宝贵信息。

政策影响

这一主题，即青少年不自觉地接触网络色情内容，应纳入早期的情感性教育和预防计划中，以便儿童/青少年在第一次面对此类内容时就已经接受了健康的性行为训练。时间。这些计划根据青少年的实际情况进行了调整，将最大限度地减少 UE 对他们性心理发展的负面影响。
