Aside from that, in my experience masturbating and porn increase sexual desire and frustration, which is the last thing you need if you are in a sexless marriage. I find it easier to cope in a life completely devoid of sex in any form than one with frequent but unfulfilling solo orgasms. But I am a woman. Perhaps a man in a sexless marriage could not take this route.
I'm not going to get involved in this debate again. You say that pornography and masterbation leave you unfufilled and in your case I suppose that is true. However for many others it takes the edge off the desire and the physical craving for orgasm especially when the spouse is unable or even worse unwilling to engage in mutually engaging and loving sex.
I also stand by my earlier statement that in every case it is better that someone engages in solo masterbation with or without the assistance of porn be it a movie or an erotic story than end up feeling so horny that they go looking for another to cheat with.
