Social media has become an important aspect of people’s daily lives, but particularly among today’s youth. However, it can be challenging to decipher what kind of impact it can have, such as its effects on sexuality. Social media posts and messages are inundated with sexual content that can influence sexuality. This phenomenon was researched in this study with 96 participants as well as the use of two scales, the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS) and the Sexuality Scale (SS). The results demonstrated a moderate correlation between social media use and sexual depression, as well as social media use and sexual preoccupation, but not between social media use and sexual esteem. This can indicate that the content on sexual media has more of an impact on sexual depression and sexual preoccupation, whereas sexual esteem is less impacted. However, further research would be beneficial for a more extensive Investigation.
