       | Did people really expect anything else? The writing has been on
       | the wall for a while now.

         | Why does porn consumption tend to result in less sex between
         | couples? I see three common possibilities:
         | 
         | 1. It increases arousal, which would hopefully increase sexual
         | desire
         | 
         | 2. People use it as more of a "complete solution".
         | 
         | 3. People use it as a tool to avoid confronting and dealing
         | with the inevitable problems and complexities which are bound
         | to arise in any long-term relationship.
         | 
         | To me, pornography seems like such a poor substitute for real
         | life connection and experiences, I've found it doesn't replace
         | anything beyond, uh, basic "maintenance" needs.
