The study has been conducted to explore the intriguing relationship between pornographic craving and sexual satisfaction in 106 women between 18-30 years of age who experience sexual encounters with committed partners and without committed partners.The pornographic craving questionnaire by Kraus and Rosenberg was used to measure the level of pornographic craving in the sample selected. Sexual Satisfaction was measured by the New Sexual Satisfaction Scale developed by Štulhofer. Interpretation of the t-test shows that there is a significant differencein sexual satisfaction among the women in a relationship than women who are not in a relationship. There is a higher satisfaction level recorded in women who are in a stable relationship. There was no significant difference in the pornographic craving levels between the two groups.Findings also concluded that there is no prominent correlation between sexual satisfaction and pornographic craving among these young adult women.
