| Solitary | 23.92 | (7.61) | 23.08 | (7.26) | 26.46 | (8.36) |
Note. PCES scores assess the negative effects reported from viewing VSS (range=1–7). SCS measures compulsive traits linked to difficulty resisting sexual behaviors (range=10–40). The CBOSB measures the extent to which individuals are concerned about possible consequences of their sexual behaviors (cognitive, range=20–80) or had actually experienced negative outcomes from their sexual behaviors (behavioral, range=20–40). SDI scores indicate the level of desire to engage in solitary sexual activities (range=3–26) as well as sexual activities with a partner (range=8–70).
