Porn-induced erectile dysfunction is becoming increasingly widespread
A masculinity expert says he fears heavy internet porn usage may have left up to one in 10 young men with erection problems.
Dr Andrew Smiler said that easy access to endless streaming porn is leaving healthy young men with the sexual problem.
He told The Independent: “The guys I see, most of them are between 13 and 25. The vast majority are, for the most part, the picture of physical health.
“So if I’m masturbating to porn once a day for 15 minutes but I do that every day for five years, I’m pretty well on my way to being an expert to having an orgasm to porn.”
He warned that because many heavy users are young, the habit becomes even more concerning.
“If I’m 17 and that is 90% of my sexual orgasmic experience, then I’ve put a lot of effort into that particular variety/flavour of sexual development but I’ve put in very little time developing my sexuality with another person, so it makes it more challenging to become aroused to another person and you find yourself in this other direction which is often very different to sex with a person.”
A 2014 study found that one third of men watch porn every day, and given that porn consumption has been increasing over the past few years - largely due to the advent of the smartphones and super-fast data connections - it’s likely that number is now even higher.
