A masculinity expert, Dr Andrew Smiler, has said that he fears heavy internet porn usage may have left up to one in 10 young men with erection problems.

He said that easy access to endless streaming of filthy porn is leaving young men with issues in the bedroom:

The guys I see, most of them are between 13 and 25. The vast majority are, for the most part, the picture of physical health.

So if I’m masturbating to porn once a day for 15 minutes but I do that every day for five years, I’m pretty well on my way to being an expert to having an orgasm to porn.

If I’m 17 and that is 90% of my sexual orgasmic experience, then I’ve put a lot of effort into that particular variety/flavour of sexual development but I’ve put in very little time developing my sexuality with another person, so it makes it more challenging to become aroused to another person and you find yourself in this other direction which is often very different to sex with a person.

Dr Angela Gregory, psychosexual therapist at Nottingham University Hospital, added:

Men are becoming both physically and psychologically desensitised to normal sexual stimulation and arousal with a sexual partner.

It makes sense. I mean, when I was younger we didn’t have easy access to all this really dirty stuff, so we learned to disassociate porn with our real sex lives, whereas young people today almost expect this type of sex now.

Scary thing is, this is only going to get worse, particularly with the invention of virtual reality porn.
