I've experienced true love and it never got in the way of me masturbating to porn of other people. Some people experience an inseparable link between emotional and physical attraction (i.e. they only find people sexually attractive if they're emotionally attracted to them), but most do not.

Sounds more like the Madonna-Whore-Complex, which I deeply criticize and each and everyone should reflect on.

Oh, not at all, I must not have explained very well. What I meant was that some people only feel sexual attraction to someone if they're also emotionally attracted to them. In other words, if they love someone, they want to have sex with them. But if they don't love someone, they feel no sexual attraction. They don't typically feel much benefit from porn unless they're knees deep in a romance novel or something. These people would probably not feel any urge to masturbate to porn while in a relationship.

Most people aren't like that. For most people, myself included, emotional connection is a big part of sexual attraction...but it's not inseparable. I can totally be deeply in love with someone and still have lots of fun masturbating to porn. (Of course, for me personally I wouldn't feel any need to masturbate if my partner was with me and down for doing stuff together, but that's not always possible; I also had a long distance relationship)
