Men who watch porn are more likely to feel unsatisfied in their relationships, according to a new study.

But, the same could not be said for women.

Researchers analyzed 50 studies on the link between porn and satisfaction, including data from more than 50,000 people, which revealed higher instances of dissatisfaction among male porn-viewers.

WOMEN WATCH MORE PORN ON THEIR PHONES THAN MEN Pornhub found that 71% of its female users visit the portal using a smartphone and are 34% less likely to use desktop computers than men. 80% of women who visit the site opt to use a smartphone or table, compared to 69% of their male counterparts. 78% of millennials, aged 18-34, watch on their smartphone. 53% of women are Android users and 45% are iOS fans. In Washington D.C, 94 percent of the female traffic comes from mobile, Texas has 93% and Georgia and Michigan are tied with 92%. On a global scale it was South Africa that had the most female traffic using a mobile device – 91%. Then the US with 89% and the UK and Pakistan with 86%. Advertisement

In the study, published this month to Human Communication Research, researchers from Indiana University and the University of Hawaii, Mānoa conducted a meta-analysis of 50 studies to better understand the effect of porn on a person’s overall satisfaction.

‘Does consuming pornography have any discernible impacts on consumers’ satisfaction?’ the authors wrote.

‘And if so, is this impact negative or positive?

'These questions have stimulated a large number of studies, but uncertainty about their answers remains among communication scholars.’

Their analysis included a combined dataset of more than 50,000 people from 10 countries, and addressed ‘the interpersonal domains of sexual and relational satisfaction and the intrapersonal domains of body and self-satisfaction.’

While porn-viewing was not found to be related to a person’s intrapersonal satisfaction, the researchers found it did reflect lower satisfaction in relationships.

But, only for men.

Women, on the other hand, were not found to show any connection between porn-watching habits and happiness in their relationships, Cosmo reports.

According to the researchers, it could be that men who are more inclined to watch porn are unhappy in their relationships independent from this behaviour.

And, it could also suggest that porn leads to unreasonable expectations for sex, leading to disappointment in real life situations.

Earlier this month, PornHub revealed that women are far more likely to look at online on their phone than men are.

The research shows that 80 percent of women who visit the site opt to use a smartphone or tablet, compared to 69 percent of their male counterparts.

The porn service found that 71 percent of its female users visit the portal using a smartphone and are 16 percent more likely to reach for the device than men.

In their Year in Review, the portal discovered that 26 percent of their visitors are women.

Although it may not sound like a ground breaking number, the portal said ‘the level of traffic was enough to cause a massive drop in Pornhub visits during the Women’s March in January 2017'.
