People who watch porn more than once a week become more religious over time, study finds
Most people know at least one person who watches porn ‘religiously’.
But a new study has found that watching pornography more than once a week can cause people to hold stronger religious beliefs than those who only occasionally watch x-rated videos.
And researchers say this could be down to people compensating for guilty feelings with prayer.
Samuel Perry analysed data from more than 1,300 Americans over a six-year period to find out how watching pornography affects religious belief over time.
“Those who used pornography at the highest frequencies seemed to be more religious in terms of prayer frequency and worship attendance than those who used pornography at more moderate levels,” Dr Perry told The Independent.
“Specifically, those who viewed pornography weekly or more in 2006 reported praying more often and attending worship services more often by 2012 compared to those who viewed pornography monthly or less earlier on.”
This surprising result came amid other findings which fit more readily with traditional ideas of religious aversions to pornography.
(continued, today I admit to being a cultural christian like Richard Dawkins....my position is 6.9 also. Not because I believe in prayer but because I've seen the impossible happen with my own eyes...

Usually have a house full of girls, which sorta complicates internet porn to the point where it's just not worthwhile...to watch it without their mother. heh

I always hear about these chicks that dig porn, and say that if they caught their hubby watching porn they'd smile and give them a "helping hand" so to speak. Does that unicorn actually exist?
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

In the upper and lower classes. Not the middle where folks are bred for specific societal roles and memes are jealously guarded.Forty Two wrote:I always hear about these chicks that dig porn, and say that if they caught their hubby watching porn they'd smile and give them a "helping hand" so to speak.

Just don't drop it on her out of the blue, or otherwise creep her the fuck out about it, and you might get things going your way, some day... maybe.

Does it really matter what the wife likes?
So long as she does what she's told?
Why wish for Unicorns, when you can make one?

While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.
