Psychology Study Says Porn Causes Performance Anxiety
Hi dr. You often mention sexual side effects when discussing propecia but here is a recent psychology study that shows that there are often more reasons for performance anxiety
Link: Internet pornography destroying men’s ability to perform with real women, finds study
The report can be found at Psychology Today, and essentially blames online porn for libido problems in young men. I don’t know if there’s anything to this, but it certainly is interesting. The report suggests that in 6-12 weeks, the problem could be resolved by staying away from the porn and perhaps leaving your penis alone.
There was a large survey of Italian men published earlier this year that concludes internet porn causes “sexual anorexia” (see here).
No Doc!!!!! Noooooooo. Did you say leave my penis alone! For the love of god man how can I go on.
Thanks for the post.
Interesting but I don’t think there is anything to it. I can imagine most men reporting the opposite of what is reported in the article.
Or, it could be the other way round, i.e. men with performance anxiety turn to porn, which may give them a sense of comfort and confidence.
