NO!! Porn does not cause ED. Several small, non-representative, poorly designed studies have been published alleging this—and the media, both news and social, have jumped all over them creating the impression that it’s true. Actually, this issues has also been investigated with large, representative studies that used rigorously scientific design. They all find no association, let alone a cause-and-effect relationship, between porn and ED. The vast majority of men who stroke to porn (which is the vast majority of all men) function just fine with partners and can raise erections even if they stroke to porn daily.
But there are two exceptions. One has to do with the “refractory period” (RP). After men come, they can’t raise new erections for a period of time, the RP. The RP lengthens. Teenaged boys can often raise new erections a half hour after ejaculating. But by the thirties, RP can become several hours, and by 60, as much as a day. When men can’t get hard one hour after coming, or two, or five, or ten, they may think they have ED. NO. What they have is a refractory period that lengthens with age.
The other exception involved erection firmness. Many men stroke to porn, but their erections never look as large or hard as what they see on the screen. They think they have ED. No, they just have normal penises. Porn selects for guys who are extra-large and extra-hard—and then pumps them full of erection drugs to make them even harder. Your erections are totally fine if you can slip them into a willing, receptive, well-lubricated woman’s vagina.
You say you only get hard engaging in sexual fantasies or watching porn (which is sexual fantasy). You and lots of other men and women, too. Fantasy is a key element of sexual arousal. Naked women by themselves may not be all that arousing. But a naked woman who’s open to playing with you while you have vivid erotic fantasies, now that’s arousing and erection-forming. Note: Your fantasies don’t have to be about the woman sharing your bed. They can involve anyone doing anything, and usually new fantasies work better than old ones, so exercise your imagination.
