EXCERPTS
- "The preference for using pornography to obtain or maintain sexual excitement is apparent as well. It can be argued that the degrading or extreme type of pornography sparks more 'novel' and intense stimulation and heightens arousal. Thus, people who are interested in this type of pornography may find regular sexual activities to be mundane, bland, and less stimulating, and therefore, they have a strong preference for pornography over real sex."
- "In regard to integrating pornography into real sex, Korean men who used more pornography for masturbation had a tendency to watch pornography with their sexual partners... At the same time, men who are in noncommitted relationships tend to view pornography with their partners more than do men who are in committed relationships."
