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.

I find it interesting that the site posting this story has a sidebar with nothing but celebrities (mostly female) in various states of undress.

It seems these celebrities are only half-a-step away from working in porn.

I am amazed to find such a view expressed on FR, a conservative website.

As the article clearly points out, the lie is that porno helps one's sexuality, just like premarital sex, masturbation, adultery etc does.

The Bible is very clear that the best sex is between a man and woman-period.

It is God who created out sexuality and He made it to be enjoyed in the context of marriage, where there is commitment and love.

The nonsense that Christians have a boring sex life is exposed as such, when polls constantly show that couples who are in a loving marriage, have the greatest sexual satisfaction as opposed to those who are constantly buying what the world is selling, that sex is simply a physical act-it isn't.

No, but destroying a man’s ability to control himself is bad enough.

Yes, because they see sex as being about one's own gratification and not the relationship issue.

They deal solely with the physical and ignore the soul.

Boy...don’t you know forum etiquette?

You should always ping the one of whom you speak.

“I knew there was something weird about Laz.”

(I had the same thought.) ;o)

With women, it is that no man can live up to the romance novels.

I hate those dumb ass romance novels. My Mom loves them though! She’s always pawning them off on me. I just donate them.

They are the cheesiest, most unrealistic works imaginable. If women were to actually take that stuff to heart, I could how they could get unrealistic expectations. But please, what the hell is so attractive about Fabio! He seriously has the face of a horse, yet graces cover after cover of these books.
