Science says "All men watch porn. Also, the sky is blue. Water is wet."

Admittedly, 20s is a small case sample:

“We started our research seeking men in their 20s who had never consumed pornography,” said Professor Simon Louis Lajeunesse. “We couldn't find any.”

Although hampered in its original aim, the study did examined the habits of those young men who used pornography – which would appear to be all of them.

Prof Lajeunesse interviewed 20 heterosexual male university students who consumed pornography, and found on average, they first watched pornography when they were 10 years old.

Around 90 per cent of consumption was on the internet, while 10 per cent of material came from video stores.

Single men watched pornography for an average of 40 minutes, three times a week, while those in relationships watched it 1.7 times a week for around 20 minutes.

The study found that men watched pornography that matched their own image of sexuality, and quickly discarded material they found offensive or distasteful.

Prof Lajeunesse said pornography did not have a negative effect on men's sexuality.

“Not one subject had a pathological sexuality,” he said. “In fact, all of their sexual practices were quite conventional.

“Pornography hasn't changed their perception of women or their relationship, which they all want to be as harmonious and fulfilling as possible,” he added.

Well now I can shut up that girl at Physics who keeps bitching about her boyfriend having a porn stash.

Well this is interesting. I had no Idea that all guys watch or have at least seen porn in there 20s. XD This needs to be made public. To shut up enough people.

Yay! Fucking finally a study comes out and says that looking at porn is totally chill. As opposed to pretty much every other study I've seen on the subject that says porn makes you an abusive misogynist.

Apparently, there's two hours of porn that I've been putting off watching each week.

I'm disappointed in myself, really.

They should try it again with a larger pool of subjects. Not because I think they're wrong, but because if they're right then it'll be an even more important result.

There's no better time to start!

So blind guys don't count as men.

Curse you, science.

I don't know if that's fair. If it makes one partner insecure then it IS having a negative effect on the relationship and I feel like it's completely reasonable for it to maker her feel that way if she wishes to pursue a 100% monogamous relationship with someone. Although if her boyfriend isn't willing to give up porn for her maybe she should be with someone who will?

Also; Just becuase something is the norm doesn't make it ok. I don't want to get into a whole thing but that seems to be where this article is coming from and it isn't a stable premise to start on.
