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

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.

Women have no clue....

.Look at it like a steam kettle, just because the kettle blows steam off every now that doesn't mean there is no boiling water inside.

< cynicism > Women want to maintain their monopoly on the tang as the sole source provider for the sig-other man. Anything that cuts into their territory, prostitution, porn etc., really jerks their chain. < /cynicism >

I like cheese, oh, and porn. Show me a man and a woman getting it on and I'll show you millions of happy guys. So what? What is the problem with enjoying our sexuality?

Why do so many Americans think looking at erotic photos/videos is perverse? It is the natural order of life. What? We're all suppose to just do missionary with our legal married wife to pro-create? Pfft!

Any masturbation is too much.

Not to be gross but if a man masturbates too much they won't be as interested in sex. There is no contradiction.

too much are the optimum words....

to quote SNL from Halloween many years ago....sometimes a man has to do what he has to do to prevent 'premature ejac-o-lantern'.

Another worthless and incorrect study.

some kind of seminar speaker on relationships said that after his seminars he was invariably rushed by loads of college women

That's it. I'm becoming a seminar speaker.

I'm 54 and still have the same desire I've had since I was 13 in 1970 when I was then looking at Dad's Playboys so I'm not sure seeing more kills desire.

I have enjoyed reasonable enjoyment of seeing naked women in print and screen for many years.

Unless one is obsessive and replaces interaction with warm blooded women with computer sex or maybe that is all they have then I don't see this as the issue the article claims except:

1) all women are not as physically beautiful as on the screen or magazines...as a rule.. so one can get crazy expectations...I know homely men who simply must have supermodels and wait forever

2)due to the often heightened nature on entertainment sex in mags and computer some men...and maybe women..the kind that like it “rough”..get oversexed by kink and freak..and that can lead to a dark place if overindulged...everyone like thigh highs and a little playing and stuff..and passion but when it gets to where you always have to have whips and chains and dress up or group sex or gang bangs and all the wild stuff you see today and you can no longer just enjoy the warm slow melt of a good woman one on one in a nice bed or backseat of your pickup then you have let something in that is destructive..I have seen this firsthand where guys usually but some women just have to go kink all the time and they get numbed to relationship sex...and yes..no question that internet freak has made women more bizarre than before where some simply feel they must do what they see some screen prostitute doing for money that really has not much place in a love relationship or marriage....

3)the access of hard sex for kids on the internet troubles me because it's just too much too soon..when I was a kid you had to seek it out usually from somebody’s dad that had it hidden away some closet or drawer...black and whites and pasty gals and swarthy men not doing anything particularly unordinary

There is no doubt that sex has loosened markedly and that women are now about as promiscuous as men in youth and they will do things now ..oral etc..that few did in my day. I think now they believe it's expected.

The paradox in all this is that in the white community in particular as women have become more sexually loose that men have become less masculine at the same time. The corresponding change in the black or latino community except at the higher ends is simply not happening with the men getting slighter built physically and acting feminine...so bizarre

I think this stuff will run it's course but at a price.
