Men and Pornography: The Evolutionary Linkįor most women, there's no need to worry.
In 2006, the porn industry raked in nearly 13 billion dollars. According to a survey by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, 26% of male Internet users visited adult websites (only 3% of women went to these sites). That's good news, because a lot of people look at porn. The best studies suggest that only about 5% of porn users have a problem that interferes with their daily life.' 'Often, one partner has a porn interest, and the other thinks that's a problem,' says Russell Stambaugh, PhD, an Ann Arbor, Michigan-based psychologist and sex therapist. Despite Tom's claims that his nocturnal habit had nothing to do with their love life, she worried he preferred porn to having sex with her. Kate learned about this during their second session of couples therapy.
Most nights, after his wife, Kate, had gone to bed, Tom surfed the Internet for porn.
