still is a major indicator of the emotional and physical problems porn is causing to many men and women. It's an epidemic.

What are the physical problems one can get through watching porn? If this study is accurate, it seems batting off more often may be a good thing ?




Erectile dysfunction for one, which was once an aging related problem, now affects people in their 20s.


Is that physiological though? Maybe psychological?


Is there a practical difference?


If you Google it you will find there is. There are some people who cannot get an erection no matter what, they need to get a "bionic penis" implant.

It has nothing to do with porn consumption and is physiological.

I read somewhere some people have "performance anxiety" after watching a lot of porn and lose their boner before penetration, but that's completely different to "never getting a boner".
