Can porn really lead to ed?

[Smith Wood Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Smith Wood]

No i also do not think porno can cause impotence.I have watched porno for many years since a young age and that i rarely ever had issue getting arduous porno. it absolutely was when I bruised my phallus a couple of times a couple of years back that I began to experience delicate impotence. As you know impotence is either mental or physical.

So, I think porn can cause ED. I am 29 and fairly good shape. I get erections at random times during the day and damn near get hard just sitting next to my wife. Anyway, when we are having foreplay I can get an erection, but ( like someone else here said) I might lose it going from a blow job to sex or lose it during sex. I think , for me , its not only the porn, but also the issues me and my wife have. Additionally, even when I masturbate with porn I find that my erections wont sustain themselves unless I keep jerking off. Just like with sex, if I maintain stimulation I am good, but soon as I stop I might be down for the count. What do I do? I don't want my issues to drive my wife into another man's bed

If you're wondering about this, listen to the people who posted about Your Brain On Porn | Evolution has not prepared your brain for today's Internet porn . It has all the information you need. I recently began a journey combining abstinence from porn with a PE routine and hope to kick this ED issue asap.

This is a very interesting topic, I literally just posted a similar thread about this: https://www.pegym.com/forums/erectil...s-no-porn.html

I hope you find the information and philosophies you need to rid yourself of the nasty effects of ED. Good luck to everybody facing this issue, at least we know we're not alone!

I don't think porn really caused ED but the desensitization RELYING on porn for stimulation can result in lower EQ altogether beside other mental and visual side affects of what is really good sex and not just actors getting paid. If you see pussy all day long then after a while it doesn't stimulate as much and the libido goes down. Look at the major male porn stars who can only get it up to maybe 70-80% even after having it buffered. Desensitization.

Hi i'm 24 and i think i have porn related ED, I wasn't able to get a full erection whilst having sex with a girl despite really liking her, as you can imagine i was really worried and so was she. Next day I watched some porn and got hard so some of my worries abated. That being said quite recently I had been wondering why I haven't I been able to get super hard and I haven't had any morning woods for a while and after reading around I have come to the conclusion that excessive porn and masturbation has lead to ED in sexual situations with women at least it has for me.

I have now started doing that no PMO and I am on day 4 so far.

i think bad health and physiological issues together are nothing but problems , all you young people need to get in decent shape and eat right to prevent it and you older people need to quit making excuses and do some light workouts and eat good to help out

Is pics and videos of you with a ex or chick you hook up with considered porn?

Is a pornographic image, so it is technically porn.

Watching Porn can somewhat lead you to ED but not to a greater extent. You can watch porn but do not make it a part of your daily life, instead watch porn once or twice a week and one question is that what is the need for porn in the life of young couples who are satisfied in having sex with each other ?

I don't think porn can cause ED per se, however it seems like it could be one factor among many that eventually lead to ED. From my personal experience, porn induced a sense of anxiety because during sex I was always afraid I wouldn't be able to maintain the right porn fantasy in my head. This led to occasionally not being able to achieve orgasm (didn't have ED yet at that point), and after some time (maybe 6 months or so) and some stressful events in my marriage, including STOPPING the porn is what I think led to my ED.


Interestingly enough, I recently started taking Cialis and doing some of the exercises, and abstaining from porn. Sex went quite well and I thought the ED was gone. However just a few days ago, I gave in and watched some porn and actually jerked off to it -- this after almost 2 months of sobriety. So just last night the wife and I had sex, my EQ was disappointing, but thanks to Cialis I was able to keep it up (90% or so), but nowhere near my previous level. I partially blame this on the shame/guilt and and negativity I felt about giving in to it. For me, porn a poison that affects me on a mental level far, far more than it ever has in my life, and in my mind it is a significant (but not the only) factor in my ED.

I do not believe that pornography can lead to erectile dysfunction but I think it can lead to dependence to have erections. When young and started watching porn films began to masturbate several times a day and very fast which caused premature ejaculation

It does desensitize you to the impact and excitement when you actually see a naked woman in front of you. I think its best to leave porn alone and fantasize all you want.

Your experience with this is a negative one though very profound. Thanks for having the courage to post this.

well to each its own,but its not porn all together.
Its about the use you give to porn. 10 liters of wine can kill you,one glass has its benefits.
Im not sayin porn is benefitial in anyway but theres is people masturbating to porn 3 times a day,other people do it twice a week. Some people do it in a relax enviroment enjoying a long movie edging. Othe rpeople just jumps fro un minute vidoe to other with a limb dick for 2 hours never achieving a full erection and making their brain crazy.

SO leaving porn all together? try it and congrats if you can. But even if you fail and go back to porn again,or even if you decide to cut it to once a week try to sue it in a way that doesnt harm you too much.Dont spend a whole saturday night beating it till you dont have any fluid in your body.
Right now iM tired lifeless,depressed skinny and still cant wait to watch some videos.
you dont want to be like this.
In my case I got to this situation because i dont have a girlffriend or wife to satisfy with my erection,so really nobody cares or knows if I have a good or bad EQ.My mother doesnt alow bringing girls home.So its the neverending circle where i end up beating my dick daily in my room with bad EQ and I dont do anything about it,cause nobody cares,not even myself.
At the same time IM afraid of meeting girls so its complicated.

It's the addiction to porn that we are discussing. It's easy to fall into a philosophical discussion about the morality of porn, but for the purpose of this subject, it's about the use of porn as stimulus and the conditioning effects that it causes.

I don't mean to offend you, but is it possible that you are making excuses for yourself and your continued habits? Do you not see a connection between your depression, your negative attitude, and your justification-however moderate- of your continued use of porn? If the stimulation you're giving yourself is through the use of porn, you will be conditioning yourself- whether you do it three times a week or three times a day.

You are afraid- that's understandable, but until you decide to really do something about feeling that way what do you expect to change? Only by confronting your fears will you make those changes- not by avoiding them or making excuses!
