The Link Between Masturbation, Porn and Erectile Dysfunction
By Jacqui Olliver
Although it's not true in every case of erectile dysfunction, there is a definite link between masturbation, porn and erectile dysfunction.
Sexual function complications, including erectile dysfunction, often stem from the fundamental distinction between the sexual programs activated in the brain during masturbation and porn use, as opposed to those engaged during sexual intercourse with a partner.
This mismatch in sexual programming can eventually result in the man's brain becoming confused during sexual intimacy with a real partner. The confusion can manifest as erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and being unable to ejaculate. These issues are a frequent result from ongoing masturbation and the constant use of porn.
Masturbation and Erectile Dysfunction
Predominantly using your hand as your sexual tool can cause weakness in the structural muscles which support the penis. Your arm and hand get a great workout during a masturbation session, but the muscles supporting your penis don't.
In addition to this, when you masturbate, your hand is controlling the pace and the intensity of the stroke. Constantly using your hand to self stimulate detracts from your awareness of the sensations created by penetrating a partner sexually. This can lead to you feeling like you are losing your sex power.
Because your penis isn't being exercised, you may experience a feeling of weakness or numbness when you attempt sexual intercourse.
Weakness or numbness during sexual intercourse causes you to believe that you have a definite erection problem. Ongoing worry and performance anxiety can lead to losing a hard erection during masturbation sessions as well. This happens because you are giving your brain conflicting messages.
Porn and Erectile Dysfunction
It's important to note that porn does not cause erectile dysfunction directly. The problem with watching porn occurs when the male starts believing that he requires intense visual stimulation to be able to get an erection. This isn't entirely true. But now he may be worrying about his ability to fulfil a live partner if they don't look and act like a porn star.
Performance anxiety starts confusing his brain which promptly makes him lose his erection. Due to his addiction to porn to feel sexual fulfilment he now also has an unrealistic view of sexual actions - what is required to fulfil a partner sexually and how to bring himself and his partner to orgasm.
After a man has lost his erection hardness once, his mind then becomes consumed with worry and anxiety that event will occur again. This can lead to an ongoing lack of libido and erectile dysfunction problem which often continues, even if he stops masturbating or watching porn.
In summary
The connection between masturbation, porn consumption, and erectile dysfunction is evident. However, it's crucial to understand that ceasing porn use may not necessarily stop erectile dysfunction. This is particularly true when an individual lacks a clear procedure to follow during sexual encounters, leading to an inability to balance their attention appropriately between themselves, their partner, and the various aspects of the sexual act.
Erectile dysfunction can be influenced by the confusion that can arise in a male's brain during sexual activity, whether alone or with a partner. It's worth noting that moderate masturbation, up to twice daily, and occasional porn viewing are generally considered safe. However, it's essential to recognize that these activities differ significantly from engaging in sexual intercourse with a real partner.
To address and cure erectile dysfunction, whether during masturbation or intercourse with a partner, it's imperative that he grasp the correct sequences of thoughts and actions required. These sequences play a vital role in alleviating anxiety, achieving and maintaining an erection, and retaining control over when he ejaculates. Get started with the right knowledge:
