[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just my n=1 experience, but when I was single about 10 years ago, I had 2 long term boyfriends who had little to zero interest in sex but watched a LOT of porn. I’ve had a couple female friends who also had partners that preferred porn over sex. [/quote]

I remember 10-15 years ago when people mentioned this they were met with scoffing disbelief that any man would prefer porn over sex. Now everyone recognizes it’s true[/quote]

I'm a man and I suspect that under "ideal" circumstances, most men would prefer the real thing over porn. But real life often falls short of the "ideal." As noted on this forum, some women need to be seduced days ahead of time to be in the mood for sex. Some women won't be in the mood after an argument, or if the husband forgot to do the laundry. Or she might take 45 minutes to orgasm, which is great most of the time, but some nights after a long day you just want to n*t and roll over. In these instances porn might be a "good enough substititute."

Depending on the circumstances (e.g. the guy is single or the woman is not on birth control) there is the risk of pregnancy. Unprotected sex is risky but for many men condoms reduce the pleasure of sex significantly. So even single guys might prefer porn instead of real sex from time to time.[/quote]
