Looking At Porn Could Make You Impotent
Written by Stuart Stevens | Monday, 11 December 2006 | There are 20 comments
According to Thomas Szyszkiewcs who has compiled a report that looks at the effects of pornography on men, the simple act of getting stimulated sexually by looking at pornography can make you impotent in the long term. It sounds strange but the research shows that when men constantly look at graphic images of naked women that fulfill all their sexual fantasies they find it difficult to associated sex with a normal loving relationship and instead they have to be stimulated with raw visual images before they can aroused.
The number of younger men who are now ordering erectile dysfunction drugs on university campuses is greatly on the increase and it is thought that easy availablity of pornography on the Internet is partly to blame. The report’s author also noted that these erectile dysfunction drugs are often covering up serious psychological problems that men have from looking at pornography and they should be made concious of the fact that porn is bad for them.
Other things are causing erectile dysfunction in younger men too according to the report and they are excessive drinking and also easily available women who take the emotional element out of sex. Men are often put in a situation where they are expected to perform well in the bedroom and this pressure that is put on them can cause them to suffer from erectile dysfunction.
Viagra, Cialis and Levitra work by helping blood flow in the penile artery and do not effect the brain but they can nevertheless help a man to maintain an erection when he is under psychological pressure from a woman to perform well in bed.
The big erectile dysfunction drug manufacturers are aware of these problems and it seems that they are responding to the issue by using younger men in their erectile dysfunction advertisements. With sex and erectile dysfunction spoken about so openly these days it is not that much of a stigma for a younger man to go and buy impotence drugs to improve his sexual performance.

Gotta say, I'm increasingly thinking porn is to blame for my lack of arousal when with my girlfriend. It scares me a bit actually - I wonder if this can be reversed by abstaining from porn?

Well I am currently struggling with this problem but I did give up porn and I got on a regimented exercise and healthy diet routine (fruits and veggies etc) and my situation improved exponentially. I got so confident that I stopped exercsing and eating properly and I looked at porn a few times in just one day and I was back at square one. So I think that lifestyle changes are imperitive to reversing this problem.

I also had this problem, its been a yoyo effect, I have now officially given up porn and am back on track sexually. This is a very good article I wish I was aware of this earlier in my life!

Been looking at porn regularly, spending anything from 30 mins to several hours each day since about 1998. I am now 29 and finally in a relationship with a real woman. It's tough sometimes. I can't stop looking at porn but I know the porn is the reason I can never become aroused naturally and must use manual stimulation continually to gain and keep an erection. If there is some way to reverse this, please, someone tell me. (preferably not a God botherer)

This is a growing problem. Don't fall into the trap of pornography and other online sexual behaviour. You may think there are no consequence, but there are. Keep it real and avoid the porn and anything related to online sexuality. It will mess you up.

Had a serious problem with porn until I met my recent girlfriend. Instead bitchin at me for being a pervert she looked at it as an addiction and helped me get over it. I've been Porn clean for a year now . I went from having a strong sexual drive and stamina to barely being able to get aroused when i watching porn, including ejaculating without erections which is disastrous. it took me for about two or three months without it and i'm back to normal.
Stay away from it guys seriously

Surely the real thing is better than a recorded picture! It works as a problem for both men and women. Real is far superior.

I haven't been watching porn on and off for long time, but for the last year, I have been heavily watching it. It doesn't only affect my sexual performance, but also messed up with every thing in my life. When ever I see women in my office, I think of the different positions and techniques I saw in porn.I can not concentrate in any thing, as I constantly visualise what I see on porn. I am planning to stop it right now. There is no doubt about it, porn is real hell. Whatever, it is the natural way is the perfect way, get woman get life.

Watching porn that is freely available on the net with a whole range of categories has made the excitement of having sex with my partner disappear and right now I have deleted all my porn videos and will experiment by abstaining from porn and see how long it takes for me to get aroused again.

I am in the same boat here, been watching porn (getting more and more hardcore to satisfy me) for some time now. Recently met a great girl and desperately want rid of this disfunction! even trying Viagra did not help as much as I had hoped. Just hopeing the Pron free approach will bet me back on track! I will certainly post back on here if it works! i am so frustrated!!!!
Jason said:
Watching porn turned me against women and I turned to men, then I watched male porn and I am now impotent and I thought it was for life. I must try to get back to normal and find myself a nice girlfriend and have a normal relationship!
Will said:
Agreed. Porn messes up your head.

Ditto Jason..ditto others...
I am totally sexually liberal, but its a fact. I thought it was bc I smoked pot. Nope. Pot was fine. It was masturbating 10x a day to porn until I could barely even find unique enough porn to do anything for me. Did have an erection just kept jacking even with dry orgasms. I used cialis, etc and that was just the tip of the berg. But it took very short time to correct -- like 1-2 weeks.

Thanks for the article. It really helps to know the consequences of porn and the benefits of becoming porn- free. So, whatever stimulates you sexually outside the bedroom is not helping in the bedroom. I didn't completely realize this for years. Another item you could address is the need for sexual activity for those under the stress of being under-employed. Not only the greater alone time availability, but the personal thought processes associated with being unable to contribute to the financial needs of your relationship with your significant other.

Have got the same issue...Looking at porn everyday since I was 16. Masturbating multiple times a day. The porn became more and more hardcore, untill even bondage, BDSM and all other kinds of filthy things couldn't arouse me anymore. Now I am in a real relationship, and having normal healthy sex is becoming troublesome. I can't keep an erection, and I'm 25. In the first year of my relationship I kept watching porn, but I started to feel disgusted by it. I couldn't look at a woman as a pure lust object anymore, since I love my girlfriend so much. I have given up on porn and masturbation completely for two weeks now, and I am not planning on ever doing any of those two again...I hope that after a couple of weeks of total abstinence, I will be able to have a normal erection, and enjoy every aspect of my beautiful girlfriend.

I am going to give it a try, I can orgasm watching porn but having trouble with my girlfriend. I'm fed up and pissed off and willing to try anything. I'm only 39 and don't want to start using ED drugs.. I'll check back in if it gets better.

I am 20 years old and have been watching porn since I was 18. Over the past few months, I have been watching it more frequently and just like some of you guys, I could come without even having an erection. During sexual intercourse with my gf, I have trouble maintaining stiffness. Sometimes it is not even hard enough to penetrate, or it doesn't stay hard enough for my gf to be satisfied. It usually goes down when we attempt sex in a different position. My doctor says its psychological. I agree. I am young, fit and healthy. I exercise regularly and I do not have any health problems such as diabetes. I do not want to turn to counselling or drugs to help me but I definitely believe excessive porn is to blame. I'm going to stop watching porn and deprive myself sexually and hopefully this will lead to a stronger sexual desire as well as a harder and longer erection.
