Substance use patterns among individuals with problematic pornography use: A scoping review

This scoping review examined associations between substance use and problematic pornography use (PPU) across 8 cross-sectional studies, finding positive correlations between PPU and alcohol, cocaine, and smoking, though results were inconsistent across studies. The review highlights significant heterogeneity in how PPU is operationalized and calls for standardized definitions and further research on this potential comorbidity.
