The viewing of porn is not caused by lack of relationships, nor is it caused by a lack of motivation to pursue a relationship.
People view porn because they are horny and it's easy, simple as.
By releasing sexual tension frequently, people are satisfying a large portion of what drives the pursuit of the opposite sex. it does not eliminate dating, far from it, but it does reduce desperation for a mate.
As stated in another thread, this is not a bad thing. strong relationships have remained, and I would argue have not diminished. people who would not be happy in a relationship no longer seek them.
I never made this argument, and I never implied this at all.

Do you not understand? read the entire comment before replying.
You still haven't done anything other than make nonsensical assertions.
You have no evidence that "strong relationships" remain. Divorce rate is at an all time high. Something like 70% over a 40 year marriage. Are 40 year marriages strong? Because 70% of them fail to get that far.
How can you tell that "people who would not be happy in a relationship" are no longer seeking them? Do you have a secret test or method that looks into the future to judge total possible happiness? Or is your assertion meaningless and without any kind of basis? I am thinking the second one.
So no only are you confusing correlation with causation, you are making claims for which there is no possible proof or even fucking supporting evidence!
So lets count your logical fallacies, shall we?
Ad hoc post ergo propter hoc (after this, therefore because of this): You conclude that Men Use Porn, therefore they Are not seeking relationships. A causal link.
Non sequitur (it does not follow): Strong relationships are unaffected by porn. Fucking prove it, mate.
Non sequitur (it does not follow): "People who would not be happy in a relationship no longer seek them." Is that an axiom? A religious belief? What possible evidence could prove or disprove this statement? It is not even wrong!
I mean, I am sympathetic that you have an untestable hypothesis as an attempt to explain social ills and the decline of committed relationships. I am just surprised at the utter confusion of thinking that has lead you to such a conclusion.
I especially like the way you casually throw all the blame for the current situation on porn-addicted men who "would not be happy in a relationship". This is a very special blend of Social Darwinism and blaming men. I mean, there is no point in addressing the situation if those guys would never be happy anyway.
Oh, and bonus points for being rude. Well done guy! If you are failing to bring any facts to a discussion, always get insulting. It will be sure to grant victory! Well done! I mean, what kind of fucker asks you to actually justify your claims with facts or logic? Am I rite?
Men begin using porn before having relationships. When was the first time you looked at porn? Average starting age of consumption in the USA is 10 years old. Boys get hooked on porn way before having relationships with women.
Yeah, okay. Now show that it is a causal link to the decline of relationships and the increase of failed relationships.
Personally I think you will have a better time showing that Tinder has profoundly changed the behavior of women. I guess that makes it harder to tell men that the deserve to be alone?
To be more specific, your example is correlation not causation. The classical logical fallacy of Non Sequitur: It does not follow.
Do men use porn and then not pursue relationships? Or do men not pursue relationships and then use porn?
Would you be more comfortable with the example: "Wet streets cause rain"?
I see, your logic is flawed then.

Yeah, that is a statement. It is a bold and clear statement. You still have not established a causal link between porn use and lack of relationships.
You are making two statements.
You then declare that easy access to porn is negatively impacting relationships.
It is a multi-factor problem. There are many distinct issues at play. You yourself have identified one of them.
Restating your original position with more emphasis won't convince me.
Calling my logic flawed is fucking nonsensical. Prove your damn point, don't insult my critique because you forgot to bring any facts.
