>But the sex itself, is it that much different than "real" sex? Are there really that many people having boring sex to make the amount of people coming close to and/or surpassing porn a statistical anomaly?
Oy vey, you're constructing a spectrum with "porn" on one end and "boring" on the other. I strongly (strongly!) disagree with that sort of assumption about sex--- getting naked with a partner who you're excited about and is excited about you can be so damn varied, and spontaneous, and goofy, and expressive, and...well, just all around great. Porn, on the other hand, is generally bound by some weird and arbitrary genre conventions. If you were having sex as contrived and indifferent as you see in a movie, you'd probably get bored!
