The goal of study was to investigate whether exposure to sexual reality television content and Internet pornography is related to sexual self-presentation on social media. Based on a twowave panel survey among 1,765 adolescents aged 13-17, we found that watching sexual reality television content stimulated adolescents to produce and distribute sexual images of themselves on social media. In turn, sexual self-presentation on social media led adolescents to watch sexual reality television content more frequently. These relationships were similar among boys and girls. No reciprocal relationship between exposure to Internet pornography and boys' and girls' sexual self-presentation on social media was found. The results suggest that sexual content in mainstream mass media may affect adolescents' sexually oriented behavior on social media and vice versa. Moreover, adolescents seem to differentiate between types of sexual content (i.e., mainstream versus more explicit sexual content) when incorporating sexual media content in their sexual behavior online.

“…The context of these representations, particularly the characterization of female characters, plays an important role in the treatment given to the construction of sexuality (Aubrey and Gamble, 2014;Eyal and Kunkel, 2008;Farrar et al, 2003;Kunkel et al, 2007;Rivadeneyra, 2011), nevertheless the setting in the past of 34 of the 84 analyzed programs does not substantially change their sexual characterization. Moreover, the central role played by infidelity in most of side storylines suggest the inextricability of sex and love relationships, emphasized by Giddens (1992Giddens ( /1993 in his seminal contribution to the subject.…”

“…The importance of the context in the analysis of the characters' sexuality has been underscored by numerous researchers inspired by the social learning theory (Eyal and Kunkel, 2008;Farrar et al, 2003;Kunkel et al, 2007;Rivadeneyra, 2011). From a feminist perspective, contextual variables are essential to correlate gender inequality with other types of social inequalities, as Gamman and Marshment (1989: 7) pointed out in the 1990's, when they criticized the depoliticization made by psychoanalytic criticism of other power relations, such as class, race and generation.…”

“…Representations of sexuality can play a decisive role in both the processes of socialization and learning (Collins et al, 2003;Farrar et al, 2003) on the basis of reproduction of scenarios and scripts (Brown, 2002). Therefore, representations of sexuality are important in the perceptions of sexuality and sexual behaviors among viewers (Eyal and Finnerty, 2007), especially young ones (Eyal and Finnerty, 2007;Masanet et al, 2012;Plummer, 1995).…”

The overrepresentation of sexual content on television and the debate raised by new femininities have transformed research on sexuality and TV fiction into a fruitful field of study. Content analyses demonstrate that television fiction offers a distorted image of sexuality and that information on relevant sex issues is barely considered. This article analyzes the sexual representations of female characters in Spanish TV fiction using a hybrid method that combines SPSS Statistics tools and socio-semiotics. The sample consists of 709 female characters from all the shows premiered in 2012 and 2013. The sexual activity of the female characters is related to physical attractiveness and age, with the exception of children and adolescents. Young female characters in the sample identify empowerment with sexual assertiveness and control, while sexual depictions of women over 45 are almost non-existent. Sexual relations are presented as the “natural” outcome of romantic relationships and seduction.

“…Therefore, some of the ads try to take advantage of sexiness as a central theme or as a complement to build a brand image. (See Alexander & Judd Jr., 1978;Gilly, 1988;Reicherd, 2002;Farrar et al, 2003).…”
