Religious People Say They Don’t Watch Porn. Internet Data Says Otherwise.
Researchers asked them how they felt about that discrepancy.

“It would not be surprising for religious individuals to deny or underreport viewing of sexual content, given that this violates their core values,” MacInnis said. Moreover, “psychoanalytic theories suggest that those advocating against a particular behavior are at some level drawn to that behavior.”

The researchers also asked participants what traits they believe are linked with pornography use. This time, 252 people participated in the survey. The more religious participants said moral values, race and financial status were more related to pornography use than religiosity. They also expressed more negative beliefs about viewing sexual content online, calling it more problematic than racism and gun violence, MacInnis said.
Although a smaller percentage of religious individuals overall said they viewed sexual content online, a subset of them did report doing so. The more religious of these respondents said they felt more negative about this behavior.
This finding may be relevant to therapists, MacInnis said. “Therapists and clinicians might be mindful that highly religious individuals may be much more concerned or anxious about about themselves or others viewing sexual content than less religious individuals.”
