'These findings could help further our understanding of pornography addiction and related disorders and lend to the scientific inquiry about infidelity.'

Alcohol and drugs are better than LOOKING at curvy women.

In that case, I want to be paid to arrive at glaringly obvious conclusions.

Use the alcohol and drugs first, then you see curvy women everywhere you look.
