Internet pornography destroying men's ability to perform with real women, finds study

Internet pornography is creating a generation of young men who are hopeless in the bedroom, according to research.

Exposure to lurid images and films in the new media is de-sensitising so many young people that they are increasingly unable to become excited by ordinary sexual encounters, a report said.

-snip-

The report, called 'Porn-Induced Sexual Dysfunction is a Growing Problem', explains that the loss of libido 30 years early is caused by continuous over-stimulation of dopamine, the neurotransmitter that activates the body's reaction to sexual pleasure, by repeatedly viewing pornography on the internet.

A 'paradoxical effect' is created whereby with each new thrill, or 'dopamine spike', the brain loses its ability to respond to dopamine signals, meaning that porn-users demand increasingly extreme experiences to become sexually aroused.

What? That is the best anti porn picture one can come up with!!

Speaking of Fabio....don’t know if you have ever watched Mystery Science Theather 3000...but here is a clip from the show where Mike, Tom Servo and Crow are making fun of Fabio

“There isn’t a female organism alive that doesn’t worship Fabio!” LOL! That was hysterical!

“...porn doesn’t watch itself, you know.”

That sounds like a job description. lol

It’s one of Zer0’s shovel-ready jobs.

“We’re all suppose to just do missionary with our legal married wife to pro-create?”

As far as I’m concerned, do pretty much whatever your wife will agree to, and not just for procreation.

However, there are at least *some* people who get on a spiral that leads them step by step into the depths of perversion. They might start with Playboy, but they end up needing...what, group sadomasochist kiddie porn? to find stimulation. And that, shipmate, I see as a problem.

That’s not to say that everyone goes down that road, but the danger is there, and enough people do take that road to keep the filth merchants in business.

Well, gross or not, it’s true, a guy can only have so much inlcination for sex, masturbating via fantasizing about some made-up woman is a cheap substitute for what could be the real, wholesome deal. Again, it’s another manifestation of God being true long after the commandments against fornicating and comitting adultery came into play.

This study is backwards. Those that don’t perform well with real women spend all their time on internet porn. Cause and effect runs the other way.

That makes more sense than the "conclusion" of this "study".

According to the "logic" of this finding, spending all your time working out at the gym will turn you into a 98-pound weakling.

[trollop]

This doesn’t sound unreasonable unless you remember the “scientists” were saying the same thing about Playboy magazine 30 or 40 years ago. Back then it was the image of the perfect woman that would make the average woman unattractive to men.

"Throw away evil statue! It make men of tribe forget women of tribe! So says Chief Ogg!"

[trollop]

when I read something like this article that pretty much strikes my logic and common sense circuits in the same way that "Increasing Global Warming from CO2 will suffocate the entire planet by 2015" or "Blood will run in the streets if we let people carry guns whenever they want to" doe

That makes two of us, then. I was just making that very point on an ONOZ Population Growth Is Slowing Down And Soon The Earth Will Be Empty (aka "Population Bomb II: Electric Boogaloo") thread.

destroying a man’s ability to control himself

Nobody can destroy your ability to control yourself but you. I'm rather surprised to see any suggestion to the contrary on a supposedly conservative site.

[trollop]

But please, what the hell is so attractive about Fabio! He seriously has the face of a horse

Being a heterosexual male, I can only infer by analogy, but I assume that women aren't looking at the face of a well-built bare-chested man any more than a man would be looking at the face of a well-built bare-chested woman.

I was speaking of physical sexual control for the entire sexual act, not free will.

“...porn doesn’t watch itself, you know.”
That sounds like a job description. lol

Wally: My proposed work plan for the year is to stress-test our product under severe network conditions. I will accomplish this by downloading large image files from the busiest servers on the net.
(later, after the proposal is rejected)
Wally: I was this close to making it my job to download naughty pictures.
Dilbert: Just as well; I'd have had to kill you.

[whd23]

I've read that women buy more porn than men. Imagine that.

Because they can't find the free sites online, maybe? Technology is hard.

[MaxMax]

LOL, that must be it. Those mice thingys are coooky devices.

[suthener]

I find your stature strangely...sexy.
