[quote=Anonymous][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]
Porn warps the mind and watching it is an incredibly narcissistic and self-centered activity that’s practically become normalized.  There is zero benefit in this vile, destructive industry.[/quote]

This is just an odd take in response to a study that shows (among its other findings) that people aren't masturbating as much as they used to. If the decline in sex was a function of porn-warped minds, you'd expect masturbation to be increasing. But its frequency is down as well. So I think the non-porn explanations are more important: Video games, social media, increased isolation, increased stress of day-to-day life, worse food, less exercise, less boredom, greater acceptance of asexuality.
