Young women who report that their romantic partners look at porn frequently are less happy in their relationships than women partnered with guys who more often abstain, new research finds.
The study bolsters some anecdotal evidence that men's porn use can shake the self-esteem of their girlfriends or wives, though certainly not all couples have conflicts over pornography, said study researcher Destin Stewart, a clinical psychology intern at the University of Florida. Stewart decided to investigate the effect of porn on relationships after some of her clients revealed that they were struggling with the issue.
Discovering explicit material on a partner's computer "made them feel like they were not good enough, like they could not measure up," Stewart told LiveScience.

Women watch porn also. Maybe it's because of their fat ugly lazy husbands....

DUH!
Its not fucking rocket science to figure that out.
But as per usual, women confuse sex with love.
They are not the same. Certainly not for a man.
If a man is looking at porn, its because his woman is not fulfilling his sexual desires.
But that does not mean he doesn't love her.
Women have never understood that.

- the first thing I did when I got married was sell all my Encyclopedia Britannica books.
Didn't need them, cause I quickly learned that the wife was an expert in every subject.

@GrumpyAuldBastard
Same can be stated for women who watch porn...the man is NOT fulfilling her sexual desires
Does not mean she does not love her husband/boyfriend

@GrumpyAuldBastard
Having stated that (women confuse sex with love and they are not the same) then I am assuming you would not care if your wife or girlfriend had sex with other men..if she is doing it for sex only and not love?

Totally agree.
But equally why the happiest men in a relationship are the ones with a woman who likes to watch porn.
Men are not insecure about their woman looking at porn, well, at least not anywhere near to the same extent as a woman when her man does.

As someone who has to look at a lot of porn as part of my work I have no idea why people would want to watch it.
It's just plain boring and disgusting and of no artistic value. Though I admit I've seen high artistic value movies that include soft porn but they aren't porn movies.
I sort of agree with the unhappy women. If men want to watch canned porn then they are pretty substandard to start with. If they do it in preference to canoodling with their women then they are scum and should be drop More..

After a few porn movies wax-on wax-off will gain a totally new meaning. As will Spit Roast.

I don't see any Problem with looking at porn. If you keep it a secret then there's a problem, that will make your wife insecure.
No secrets no problems.

If you are fapping to porn instead of humping your woman, there are some serious issues, you may not like her anymore or she is withholding (her loss..again..sigh) too much, or you are gay.

I'm doing a study on why women don't watch porn.
My work is not yet ready for publishing but I can reveal that women don't watch porn because they already have one.
lol

Another inconclusive, poorly done study with random statistics that have no scientific significance. And where they first establish the premise then gather evidence to support it.

Seems like the intellectuals at the University of Florida, are so "intellectual" (not to say nerdy) that they need to conduct a study to find out women have a problem with their guys watching porn.
