(A) Depicts predicted relationship satisfaction (vertical axis) as a function of actors’ (x-axis) and partners’ (y-axis) frequencies of solitary pornography use and their interaction for cases that reported mean levels of shared pornography use in Study 1. (B) Does the same for the prediction of sexual satisfaction. In both cases, satisfaction scores tended to be lowest when couple members were most dissimilar in their solitary pornography use (left- and right-most corners of the plots), though this effect did not remain statistically significant when predicting relationship satisfaction (A) once gender was controlled for. With respect to sexual satisfaction (B), a similarity-dissimilarity effect is evident: the curvilinear component of the line of incongruence was significant and region of significance tests indicated a participant’s own pornography use was negatively related to their sexual satisfaction, but only among participants who’s partners almost never used pornography (partners’ solitary pornography use <–1.74).
