Online porn is making young men impotent

[Kraenen]

Sounds like you have some first-hand experience on the subject

Not sure what the roll eyes is for. Are you sarcastically saying this? But yes - I think I do have first hand experience. For me porn made women less real to me. It made me feel like they weren't people, that they were just for sex. I tried a porn-free trial and starting getting that empathy back - I could feel things for women.

Any rate - my statement seems pretty objectively valid with any basic understanding of conditioning.

Something else: Photography was invented over a hundred years ago..and look at that, some of the oldest pictures are nudity. Film was invented and it didn't take long for the first porn to be made. Whores and brothels? As old as time.

That's true. 3D movies, Transformers action schlock and Lord of the Rings style epic movies are the same as some cave paintings and really old black and white photographs.

So what's the cure? Stop looking at porn and jerking off?

woah woah woah.....let's not be hasty.

I was seriously worried about you, as this post had zero mention of elves, drow or succubi, until I saw this post:

And all is right in the world.

No, you need to have a substitute for the fixation to treat it. That's where the Love Ewe is vitally essential. No porn, no jerking off, your Love Ewe will be there for you. Granted, you may find that excessive use of your Love Ewe causes you to disconnect from relationships with regular sheep. You may also find yourself popping a boner every time you smell lanolin, but you can always get your SO to wear wool sweaters if you need that extra bit of help!

I wonder what the ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((porn producers))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) would gain from this

It's obvious too much porn can be harmful - anything without moderation can be

But it's a good thing that lots of guys who can't get laid can instead satisfy themselves with porn - whereas previously they did not have that option

Surely that's a better outcome than those socially awkward men chasing girls in the real world, causing sexual assaults / etc

Sexual assault rates have halved since internet streaming porn came of age with ADSL in the early 2000s:

I was curious about that porn ban in India a while back, can't find any tangible effects (seems like it was fairly short-term).

Didn't hear about that so no idea but... well, that could explain a few things

Your loss really. It can help some men stay harder longer and a prostate induced orgasm feels a helluva lot better than a regular penile one and can last a lot longer and chain off itself.

Its also not gay and really healthy btw

I don't really care if it's gay or not. I don't care if it's "healthy". I don't eat tomatoes and they are healthy. No one or anything is going up my arse. Why is it hard to understand that I have boundaries when it comes to my arse? As fine as it may be, my arse is off limits.

I was watching it at least 2-4 hours daily almost out of boredom. I started having problems in bed so now I'm completely porn free and I'm back to normal. It was just watching 1 hot video then clicking a related video and repeating this process for hours.

Oh damn how? I literally just watch one vid, since it is just me, do it quickly in like 5 min, clean up and finish eating my breakfast.

No one cares what you don't put up your ass. People are just saying that it's your loss.

No people say it's a win for him. My people are more than yours btw.

Sure to hell feels like a win to me if nothing goes up my dark corridor of hell.

Feel sorry for them. I have pretty much looked at porn for a decade and a half yet can go from Jelly to Diamond in 3secs flat.

Maybe it is just more common to talk about these days?

People, even in this thread, are making the issue of porn way too black and white. Just because porn causes problems for some people doesn't mean it's inherently bad for everyone. For some people, porn helps them maintain a helthy sex life, brings new ideas to sex and helps balance the sexual needs of people in the relationship. It boosts your sexual imagination and helps with masturbation, which is healthy. But like many good things, it can be used in extreme amounts or unhealthy ways. When you start having issues with your confidence, your expectations start rising in a way that may be harmful to your relationship(s) or you feel you can't cope without it, it's an issue.

I believe porn may be causing impotence in some young men, but a big issue with these young men suffering from what they think is impotence is actually just unhealthy expectations regarding normal sexual provess. As a nurse, I have met many young men that think they should be able to maintain hour-hour and a half long erections everytime just because there is an opportunity to have sex. They do not realize porn starts use medication, have trained a lot and take breaks during shooting, or that not being able to instantly get it up every single time doesn't mean there's an issue. They might also not be able to get it up because of the pressure porn puts on to them, not because their partners are not as attractive as porn stars. Maybe they need to talk to their partners or a health care professional or take meds once or twice to get the pressure off and get the positive, real-life experience that often fixes these issues.

i love me some porn, but its only used for jacking purposes. i dont get people who just sit and watch it, once i blow my load i treat porn like women in real life..."ok thanks, im going somewhere else now"

You're not really aware of how the male genitals work, are you?

Our sexual pleasure is pretty much 1% from the way there and 99% from the orgasm.

So obviously when you masturbate you want to do it as fast as possible.

I really hope you are still very, very young. Like, puberty hitting you last week.

Listen to the advice some other poster gave you already. It's never too late... I guess?

You don't know that.

Cut the condescending crap.

If you think masturbation is some training for the big game that's your business.

Lets turn this around. What if it's not "man getting impotent", but rather:
"regular women not as hot and exciting in bed as pornstars, putting men off".
