If you're inclined to disagree, how do you see it being consumed? As far as I know from my own experience, the vast majority of porn is consumed alone. I took that to be equivalent with the quoted section because I'm guessing most watching porn would also prefer sex with someone. It seems like your point is semantics to me unless you do truly believe that most porn is not consumed alone, in which case I'm really interested why you think that.
- hn_throwaway_99 9y agoWhat? I know lots of couples, gay and straight, that watch porn together. "I'm guessing most watching porn would also prefer sex with someone." That is also a bizarre assumption to make. Sure, perhaps in theory, but a lot of married people watch porn who like to fantasize but have no desire to cheat, lots of people watch porn who definitely don't want to have to deal with all the unfortunate risks (STDs, unwanted pregnancies, crazy exes) of actual sex.
- adjkant 9y agoA lot of couples don't watch porn together though. Lots of couples watching porn together does not mean they are the majority. I don't see how the second in bizarre either. A majority is not the same as all here either. Married people can also watch porn when their partner is not in the mood, even when they would prefer sex. I'm not denying all of the cases you listed exist, only that they are not a majority of porn usage. I feel very confident assuming that there are lots of single people ages 15-30 watching porn alone and who would prefer sex, and that demographic alone would make up 50% at least.
