I think in the sense that porn can be likened to drugs, for some it may be a coping mechanism and a way to get into an altered mental state. I don't know how often that would be but I don't think that attributing stress to it is a good general answer. There's just far too many men that use porn, period for all kinds of reasons and even some as trivial as "because I like it" kind of thing.
