“My guess is that if the truth were known, porn is the underlying problem that caused the fairly recent increase in ED.”
Possibly. I know that porn sets unreasonable expectations. Women in porn are filmed in the best possible way, and there are all sorts of women. It’s impossible for any single woman to measure up to that, even if she’s considered near perfect. No matter how beautiful, no single woman can look or act like all women.
Porn, I think, causes men (and probably women) to have higher expectations. The man must look like Adonis and be able to last for hours. The woman must look perfect at all times—no blemishes anywhere—and be willing and capable of doing anything, to include sharing the man with another woman—a common porn theme. Real men and women are going to have a very difficult time living up to that fantasy, and people come with emotions and personalities. They aren’t the sex robots depicted in porn.
So, yeah. I think it’s possible that people could have trouble performing, especially if they think they’re constantly being compared to porn. Maybe that’s also why alcohol is very prominent in the hook up culture. You drink a lot of alcohol if you want to loosen up and not care.
Well said.
