Or alternatively, have you done a study that examines the rates of porn usage among *lonely,* *unhappy* single men and compared their rates of porn usage to men who are happily in committed long-term relationships as two separate populations? That would be another relevant set of data - ThreadSky

I am working on longitudinal data on NoFap participants on Reddit. So far, distress in posts maintains or worsens, but the vast majority of users post one time. A funded study assigned to non-bizarre abstinence programs would be better...but also unlikely to pass ethics review.

Why does it have to be abstinence?

High rates of porn viewing/masturbation vs low rates of porn viewing/masturbation seems like it would be illuminating on the subject

(and would certainly be more directly relevant to the context of Scott’s comments as he explicitly does Not advocate abstinence, but rather moderation of porn viewing)

Or for the studies you have done, or have reviewed, have any of them looked at how *a change* in porn viewing rates has impacted any of the factors you’ve indexed?

Does the same man have higher or lower quality (or more positive or more negative) results as he increases or decreases porn use?
