What about romantic relationships though?
Also, has the data established a causal relationship? I.e., that more porn viewing *leads to* higher drive or more partners?
Because if not, it seems like a pretty obvious assumption that people with higher sex drives would be inclined to watch more porn

If women have positive associations with porn and relationships, then it really cannot be a "porn" effect. It's complex and related to desire discrepancies, I think.
What explains the difference?
Having read your post, your reply to Galloway strikes me as quibbling.
You yourself state that the point of porn is masturbation. Galloway is saying that men should put that energy into their partners and into having a drive to secure a partner instead of putting it into masturbation.
Men who view porn—and thus masturbate—more have lower quality outcomes in dating and relationships.
Scott’s advice was to…men.
Do you actually have an issue with his advice to watch porn less and pursue a mate more?
