Internet pornography destroying men's ability to perform with real women, finds study
Daily Mail [UK] ^ | 21st October 2011

Posted on 10/22/2011 11:58:36 PM PDT by Slings and Arrows

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.

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. It’s amazing that, as you get older, there truly is nothing new under the sun.

Porn is a *victimless* crime?

I don’t think so.

It’s about time someone demonstrated that. Sad to say, it’s pretty pathetic that this self-centered reason might be more effective in stopping the use of porn than the fact that it’s just plain wrong.

Today's users can force its release by watching porn in multiple windows, searching endlessly, fast-forwarding to the bits they find hottest, switching to live sex chat, viewing constant novelty, firing up their mirror neurons with video action and cam-2-cam, or escalating to extreme genres and anxiety-producing material

Cripes, I gotta write this down.

see my post further down. Real and live is now reality. The women of 2011 are well beyond exhibitionists. But many claim they would “never do porn”. And on one site there may be male & female or male/male , while the other site permits only women solo or together.

You are so correct. How else can you explain the men visiting live & free sites tipping young women $25, $50, $100 and more to the same woman at the same time? Meanwhile 1000 or 2000 at a time view for free.

I heard about the site I am referring to (in vague terms) discussed on Howard Stern’s satellite radio show. He had a participant on his show. I do not receive satellite radio. Have not listened to him since he left regular radio.

I agree with you, it’s very unhealthy, yet the “health professionals” tout it.

And who's to say they weren't right? The internet porn thing is just an extension and intensification of the issue, not a new thing.

Well, isn’t that what a serial killer once told an evangelist in his interview before going to the chair? It all began with porn...

Ted Bundy was a well known manipulator of people, especially women. Just because he said it, I wouldn't put a whole lot of faith in anything he said. He may well have done it as a "last laugh." Do you really think that Ted Bundy had a "deathbed conversion?"

I hate to say it, but the male vs female dichotomy in the pornography debate is IMHO bogus. Just read Romans chapter 1, verses 24 to 32. It's abundantly clear that men and women alike become addicted to sexual stimulation.

The idea that women "feel" and that men "look" is laughable. If that were true please explain why women's fashion is so important. Or explain the almost feral reaction women express towards those "exotic" men dancers.

Or make a brief perusal of "women's literature", either the high class erotic, or the supermarket pulp variety.

The point I'm trying to make is that pornography is not so much the issue, it's an expression of deep, deep, sinful human nature that knows no so called "gender" boundaries.

Most discussions I've heard (radio, books, magazine, sermon, etc - from a Christian point of view) have been hopelessly compromised by fundamental errors. These include presuppositions arising from imaginary ideas about "Women" (usually male prejudice - today called sexism), and errors in analysis, and errors in putting together "solutions".

What is missed altogether is that the solution is Christ and Him crucified. He is our transformation - "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure." (1 John 3:1-3) And that goes for both men and women.

When we sit at Mass, or Protestant "breaking of bread", we are to discern the body and blood of the Lord in the elements. We are to, as the writer of Hebrews said, see Jesus, not as we imagine Him to be but as He really is: According to the Scriptures ( 1 Corinthians 15:3&4). The writer to the Hebrews said this: "But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man." (Hebrews 2:9)

We "see" Jesus in the Scriptures, reading in faith, informed by the Holy Spirit. As Jesus said, "Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:31-32) Jesus is our transformation.
