Pornography consumption is a social phenomenon that has an impact on the mental health of the population due to its capacity to modify the perception of interpersonal relationships, sexuality and psychological well-being. Being adolescents and young people the most prone to develop symptoms of various disorders due to this exposure, it is essential to analyze this problem because of its impact on the emotional, social and psychological development of the next generations. Thus, the purpose of this study was to explore the associated variables that affect mental health in the consumption of pornography in the population between 12 and 29 years of age. From there, a qualitative methodology with a bibliographic research design was used, which explored and analyzed 24 articles from Scopus, PubMed, EbscoHost and Scholar Google databases between the years 2014 to 2024. A documentary analysis was carried out using the fichaje technique, obtaining as the most relevant results that pornography consumption can contribute to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and dysphoric mood. Other problems found were a distorted view of violence towards women, sexual dysfunction and a correlation with substance addictions. In conclusion, this study corroborates that pornography consumption is related to mental health problems; however, it is important to know the associated variables such as gender, age of onset and family factor that increase its probability.
