I think your post was right on target...about 20 years ago. With the "normailizing" of pornography and its much greater availability men who never would have gone into an adult bookstore or rented a porn movie now can get pictures or video on the net or on TV.
Guys are guys and the sex drive is enormously powerful. When it is cranked up and the ma'sn mind and body expects instant sexual gratification then it is very destructive to his relationships with real women.
What is also destructive to relationships with real women is when the real woman thinks sex is like a doggy treat, to be dished out once every month or two for particularly good behavior.
Women, take heed: most healthy men are going to have an orgasm once every day or two, come hell or high water. You can choose to be involved, or not. Don't be surprised if you choose not to, and come to find yourself no longer needed.
If your man denies this, it is 95% certain he is lying to your face.

You two hit the nail on the head. Pornography may be legal - and I guess it may as well stay legal - but it isn't ok. A man isn't a man unless he can keep away from that stuff.
Consider another possibility. The experience of raising daughters and seeing sexuality through that lens tends to make men more protective of children's innocence. With the trend towards late parenthood and smaller family sizes, men are spending a significant portion of their adult lives withouth children, and probably half of those men will never have daughters. So more men in society don't have that sense of wanting to protect childhood innocence.
