Alright. You asked for it. I'll link to both peer reviewed papers as well as related articles. This might take awhile. There's a ton of information to consider. I have literally more than 80 different academic studies alone, and dozens upon dozens of articles. Would you like them posted one at a time? I'll start with a rather "soft" study:

We examined whether the consumption of pornography affects romantic relationships,

with the expectation that higher levels of pornography consumption would correspond

to weakened commitment in young adult romantic relationships. Study 1 (n = 367)

found that higher pornography consumption was related to lower commitment,

and Study 2 (n = 34) replicated this finding using observational data. Study 3 (n = 20)

participants were randomly assigned to either refrain from viewing pornography or

to a self-control task. Those who continued using pornography reported lower levels

of commitment than control participants. In Study 4 (n = 67), participants consuming

higher levels of pornography flirted more with an extradyadic partner during an online

chat. Study 5 (n = 240) found that pornography consumption was positively related

to infidelity and this association was mediated by commitment. Overall, a consistent

pattern of results was found using a variety of approaches including cross-sectional

(Study 1), observational (Study 2), experimental (Study 3), and behavioral (Studies 4 and

5) data.
