Porn is a result of people's sexuality, not a cause of it.
I agree with WP, we're sexual animals and it's always been this way, monogamy came about to better protect children, not because that's the most satisfying and fulfilling type of relationship for two people to have.

I don't think there is any rational connection in the comparison you have drawn. There are a variety of factors that contribute to infidelity and divorce that have nothing to do with pornographic addiction.
We are seeing more evidence that pornography and non-monogamous relationships result in things like mysogyny. I've got to agree with a lot of feminists, this is something that primarily benefits men and hurts women.
Monogamy was created to protect children, but is almost certainly a social relationship which limits the abuse against women.
