Quote:Is watching pornography really as benign as people think? The following three studies reveal that it has a greater effect on relationships than those we usually discuss.
1. Porn-free relationships are stronger, with a lower rate of infidelity.
...
2. Watching porn diminishes relationship commitment.
...
3. The fantasy alternative leads to real-world cheating.
Correlation does not imply causation.
1. If a relation is porn free, that is likely because both partners are satisfied with their sex life. Such satisfaction, obviously, leads to a decrease in infidelity.
2. With sexual dissatisfaction, relationship commitment diminishes... the watching of porn is also an effect.
3. I don't get it...

(2)When it comes to instructing viewers on sexual pleasure, porn is generally inaccurate and likely to lead to low quality sex and infrequent orgasm, especially for female partners
...
(3)Pornography use begets loneliness, and loneliness begets pornography use.
...
(4)The chance of divorce doubled for both men and women who started using porn after getting married.
(1) Again, correlation does not imply causation.... in this case, I'd say sexual dissatisfaction causes viewing of porn.
(2) Does anyone watch porn as a manual on lovemaking? If people do that, then I agree.
(3) Agree with the second part... the first... not so much.
(4) Again, correlation, yatta, blah, yatta... Why would those men and women start using porn after getting married?
