"But what do you think: Is being so stressed out they can't cope why men feel the need to seek out inspirational graphics and take matters into their own hands?" I didn't really see anything in the article that addressed sex or porn addiction. I mean it just sounded pretty typical. It talked about pros and cons to porn and yadda... I didn't agree or disagree although I do wonder sometimes if "stress" is a real reason to masturbate. I think horniness is! I mean granted I am a woman but if I am stressed the last thing on my mind is, "gee I really need to cum right now" It IS an escape for sure so maybe that's it. However, I prefer to escape with my SO. It has its place, it can be a good thing in moderation, and it can also be a very bad thing for some people. It all depends on your situation and what you like, I feel. For me, my house is porn free and I am happy with that. Our sex life is crazy, unbelievably satisfying like I never dreamed, in fact... we make our own videos!!
