I think that's a bit off and the answer is far simpler. I have sex regularly with my wife and still consume porn, as do many others. I have a child. I don't think you could describe my sexual performance, which I assume is meant in the evolutionary sense, as poor.
I don't mean to be crass, and this conversation is already pretty much there, but ejaculating is fairly similar to urinating. It fulfills a necessary bodily function of discarding old sperm. All primates do it and if you restrain yourself, your body will do it involuntarily (ie you'll have a wet dream).
Personally, I prefer not to have to change my underwear in the middle of the night, regardless of how pleasant the experience may be.

- cm2012 13y agoNocturnal emissions generally only occur in teenagers, just a small nitpick.
- kennywinker 13y agoI do believe that is incorrect. Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nocturnal_emission#In_men http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nocturnal_emission#In_men summarizes Alfred Kinsey's Sexual Behavior in the Human Male, p. 275 as follows: > For males who have experienced nocturnal emissions the mean frequency ranges from 0.36 times per week (about once every three weeks) for single 15-year-old males to 0.18 times per week (about once every five-and-a-half weeks) for 40-year-old single males. For married males the mean ranges from 0.23 times per week (about once per month) for 19-year-old married males to 0.15 times per week (about once every two months) for 50-year-old married males.
- cm2012 13y agoThat is interesting and frankly shocking research. Thank you! I have been taught wrong.
