How does an erection happen?
This whole process starts with arousal, that is key. This arousal than triggers several local nerve cells in the penis, as well as in the brain. Leading to the release of multiple chemical messengers, like nitric oxide and cGMP. These cause the smooth muscles in your penis to relax. Opening the blood vessels. This allows blood to flow in, building up pressure and making the penis expand. Much like a balloon being inflated. This pressure than blocks the veins of the penis, preventing the blood from flowing out. And thus an erection is created.
The effects of porn:
First I must warn you. The available medical evidence is mixed and not of the best quality.
- Next up, in Italy there was conducted a survey of 28,000 Italian men in 2011. It found that watching porn regularly could lead to “sexual anorexia”. Meaning, those men could gradually become immune to explicit images.
According to this study, a tolerance for watching porn could be build up. Which could over time potentially contribute to a loss of libido, erectile dysfunction and the idea that sex is disconnected from real-life relationships.
- Furthermore, medical research suggests that watching porn can affect your sexual interests and appetite. Because there is a wide array of adult content available, this could unleash your true desires and fetishes.
- To make matters even worse. Your partner might feel rejected or not attractive. This is especially true if you don’t tell them what is really going on, out of embarrassment.
- In addition. One of the most common causes of erectile dysfunction comes from mental health problems, like stress and anxiety. And watching porn could aggravate those.
- Lastly, some experts also mention that compulsively watching porn, viewing several scenes at once or quickly switching between scenes could create an erotic stimulation which is not typical for normal, physical sex.
Now, this all some quite conclusive, but reality is more unruly. There are also several studies which did not find these negative effects of watching porn.
- Dr. Prause psychologist at UCLA, has done a study which found no relationship between the number of sex films men view and erectile functioning with their partner.
- In one case, this study even found a stronger sexual arousal in men who watched porn at home.
I wanted to mention these findings as well. Because the effects of porn are that clear cut yet. More medical research is necessary to provide conclusive evidence.
Useful tips:
- If you do think any of these aspects of pornography might be affecting your sexual functioning, than it could be helpful to avoid porn for at least 90 days.
- Discuss your sexual desires with your partner and you are always welcome to contact your personal doctor. He or she can help you with this problem and if necessary recommend treatment options like a sex therapist or rehab center.

My therapist told me about how many boys and men are going to doctors and therapists because of the rise in erectile dysfunction along with sex and porn addictions
My generalist doctor toll me about it. You got 20 year old young men taking viagra.
@@agustintadeo YEP! What’s terrifying is that viagra has caused men in their 50s to have heart attacks from regular use, idk how bad it will be and how much younger those attacks will start
yes because porn increases ur dopamine and it can cause ED as u need high imaginary things to get u arouse and hence when u are with ur honey u cant get arouse
So did my therapist

Hi doctor
I'm suffering from premature ejaculation!!!
Practice makes perfect.
@@battragon only if your wife its willing to help.
@@agustintadeo Wife?!?!?
@@battragon yes, if you have a wife that is selfish, it will be harder to deal with the issue.
@@agustintadeo Selfish?
Trust me, you don't want women to sleep with you to do you a favor.
(You want a woman who is selfish and thus wants to have sex with you.)
(That's why people shouldn't get married.)
How can I increase my sex drive.
Do more 😂😂
Not to mention the sinful nature of it. I pray for each soul suffering from the lies and deceit of the devil. I hope everyone comes to the Lord Christ Jesus, He can save all of us
LOL
It now is Easter and I will come to know the Christian community
Can it be fixed we quit porn?
I think yes, i did a lot of researches and the answer is always do nofap for 30/90 days
No it can’t 😢
Absolutely I'm 100% proof, the media outlets would have you believe otherwise because it's a billion dollar industry
Yes it can. My buddy and I did it. Took a few months for both of us
@@RacksonRacksonRibss bro please tell me the symptoms you had
Well, I'll always wonder why there is not any porn for us chicks lol. The world is about what men want?? Women really do not get much of anything in this perspective world so maybe this video is Karama and I love cosmic justice esp. to equality and a realistic point of view in every way lol.
Porn gets boring and dull. (Anime/yaoi is my love. (and I love gorgeous guys)The real crap, nope.)
No.
