Young men who watch a lot of porn less likely to get married, but not true for women: study

A day or a week?

[Mr. Jeeves]

Or maybe they are just evaluating the products of feminist domination of education and mass media and coming to the rational conclusion that porn is better? :)

[Hemingway's Ghost]

And porn doesn’t nag you, is available on demand, no threat of child support or disease, and last but not least...something is better than nothing.

And you can totally just rack out after you're done.

[Yo-Yo]

That's because women don't like guys with hairy palms................

...who are blind.

[sourcery]

Of course: The less a guy qualifies as marriageable, the more likely he is to watch porn. Duh.

[Drew68]

I contend that young men who aren’t out in the world living life at that age and are spending so much time at home looking at pron were probably not the most likely to get married in the first place.

Yep. You can make the same argument about guys who sit around all day smoking weed or guys who sit around all day playing Xbox.

Probably the same group of guys who sit around all day fapping to internet porn.

[Political Junkie Too]

At that age, it still comes down to the basics: boys are shy and afraid to ask girls out, and girls have the upper hand in selecting their mates for long-term relationships.

Porn watching, apparently, is a coping mechanism. Perhaps the cause and effect are reversed? Boys revert to porn because of shyness and fear of rejection, instead of porn making them less likely to meet girls and get married. Girls view porn as a curiosity, unrelated to choosing mates?

Corelation does not equal causation. Basic tenet of science.

Could just as well be young men have no interest in marriage, for whatever reason, and so turn to porn for a sexual outlet.

In fact, that makes a lot more sense than their proposal.

How many of my tax dollars were wasted on yet another stupid study?

[Red Badger]

LOL!............

[shelterguy]

Great movie. Pretty close to reality these days

[RinaseaofDs]

Agree completely.

Could also be young men don’t want to sign up for a deal in which they lose their material property, and access to any progeny, for basically any reason their spouse cares to drum up.

I forget who said it, but marriage is basically like walking up to a women who hates your guts and handing your house keys to her.

...you’ll go blind.

You'll shoot your eye out kid!

LOL

[lepton]

The researchers argued that it could be concluded that young adult men, regardless of how religious they are, will have a lower likelihood of getting married as young adults if they frequently consume pornography.

So, religious men, who don’t observe religious tenets, don’t marry at a higher rate than the non-religious, who also don’t observe those tenets?

[YogicCowboy]

I would be more persuaded by the religious subtext if I had not been in Youth Ministry long ago.

Being a truly decent, moral young man relegates a male to the strictly-friends category. Church Girls have a fatal attraction to Bad Boys - whether they view pornography or not is entirely incidental.

Decency and morality mean two things to the instinctual (carnal) female - in or out of the church:

One: He would not be an exciting or inventive lover.

Two: He does not need to be redeemed and reformed by her love.

[Amberdawn]

Most women view porn because their boyfriends want them to as a prelude to sex.

Part of your analysis is great, but women DO have to work at dating.
