Instead, researchers found there was no difference in the types of porn in terms of producing a negative impact: “Any pornography use or increase was always linked to less stability and less satisfaction in the relationship - no matter what other things we looked at.” The research was undertaken by Brigham Young University, where 3,500 people who were in committed relationships were asked about their porn habits and the happiness of their partners. “One of the really interesting things for me is I assumed we were going to find it was maybe the aggressive, nonconsensual pornography that was affecting relationships.” “We got really strong details about pornography relationships and the dynamics in their relationships,” Willoughby said. The study then divided porn into two categories: “mainstream,” where acts of consensual sex occur between couples or individuals, and “aggressive,” which include acts “that were more violent and were depicting nonconsensual behavior.” In the study, 55% of the participants were on their first marriage, 23% were cohabitating, 12% were remarried and 2% were in an open relationship.

Researchers at Utah’s Brigham Young University investigated 3,500 people who were in committed relationships, asking about their porn habits and the happiness of their partners. People who watch pornography are more likely to have lower relationship stability - and therefore a deficit of carnal satisfaction - in relationships, according to a new study published in the Journal of Sex Research.
