Do you think there is a connection between being unemployed and developing an addiction to p0rn?

There seems to be a lot of "p0rn addicition" here:

I also spoke with guys like Yates, a former partner at a law firm in the Northeast who quit his job in his 40s. Although he became a stay-at-home dad, he did not look for work, instead depending on his soon-to-be ex-wife’s income. He got into trouble with the IRS, abused prescription drugs, and became addicted to pornography; eventually his wife divorced him. He is one of many in the well-educated, relatively well-to-do category.

I also spoke to many women whose husbands didn’t work. Many of them told me about not only increased emotional and financial stress but also problems including alcoholism, porn addiction, and increased anger from the men in their lives.

my opinion: I think it's just that these men have LOTS of free time for the first time in their lives during the internet era, and it's near impossible to not come across this. Do an experiment: make up a common woman's name and do an internet search and go to images; I guarantee that there is going to be a least one nudie pic in the list. And if you go that link, you will be in a vortex of nudie pics very quickly. This might be the first time since reading their friends' Playboy/Penthouse/Hustler mags in high school that they've seen p0rn.

If your unemployed you should be looking for work. That means less free time.

Definitely!

If you're unemployed, your chances of meeting chicks and getting laid, will dramatically will decrease!

You may not have the funds to go out to the bars and clubs, or to dress well.

Men without employment are much more likely to develop some form of depression, which is NEVER an attractive thing to a female..

Confidence levels drop, health goes down hill, unless you still make an effort to hit the gym.

In this situation , the quickest and easiest solution for most dudes would more than likely be, to jack off to porn.

I was unemployed for roughly two years. I didn't watch porn then or now.

In all these cases these men had an SO. Guess their wives were not good enough for them after all.

Your job if you have no job is to look for a job...

Excuses...

 

[wifehunter]

You can't jerk off full time. I tried... you'll get sore and raw, not to mention, feeling bad for not accomplishing anything constructive.

This whole wanking + porn thing is blown way out of proportion.

Nobody wants to put Mr. Happy into the meat grinder. OUCH!!!

 

[marmel75]

No.

What if you are "retired"?

 

[wifehunter]

What if you are "retired"?

Or...own your own business. Business owners are not employees, and are therefore 'unemployed'.
