Abstract This research was to assess if there is a relationship between sexual attitudes and fidelity perceptions among 200 participants aged 18-25 years who consume pornography. Participants were recruited using convenience and snowball sampling methods. The Sexual Attitudes Scale (SAS), which measures attitudes towards sex; Relationship Assessment Scale (RAS), which serves as a proxy for fidelity perception; and the Problematic Pornography Use Scale (PPUS) were all used to collect data. Descriptive statistics generally indicated that the sample had mean SAS of 64.73 (SD=15.660) and RAS of 48.26 (SD=11.671). The findings were assessed using Pearson correlation analysis and provided evidence of a significant positive association between permissive sexual attitudes and fidelity perception (r = .279, p < 0.01). This indicates that individuals who hold more liberal sexual attitudes will be less concerned about committing infidelity through pornography. Additionally, the results of study lend to sexual script theories by providing evidence that previously held beliefs influenced one’s perception of fidelity in the context of committing infidelity through the consumption of pornography. Possible implications for communication in a relationship and sexual education are discussed.
