| description | Spam e-mail on the topic of pornography often arrives online through the Internet in e-mail inboxes. We surveyed college students (n=200) who were single and seeking a relationship and those who were not single and seeking a relationship about if they received, opened/read, or purchased products from pornography spam e-mail. Those single and seeking a relationship had significantly greater percentages than those not single and seeking a relationship for receiving, opening/reading, and purchasing products from pornography spam e-mail. In the multivariate analyses adjusting for numerous demographic and psychological variables, there was an incremental increasing pattern of increasing odds ratios for those single and seeking a relationship for receiving (OR: 2.40, 95% CI: 1.11, 5.19), opening/reading (OR: 4.11, 95% CI: 1.74, 9.69), and purchasing products (OR: 5.61, 95% CI: 1.58, 19.98) from pornography spam e-mail. No sex differences between men and women occurred for receiving, opening/reading, or purchasing products from pornography spam e-mail. Pornography spam e-mail has an interested consumer audience among those single and seeking a relationship. |
