Online Porn Causing Young Men to Have Erectile Dysfunction, but It’s Treatable!

The idea that pornography might be harmful to the viewer is a hard pill to swallow, but more studies suggest just that. Erectile dysfunction is rapidly becoming an ailment of the masses. Whereas a decade ago, older men struggled with impotence, research shows that erectile dysfunction is now so joint that men in their twenties think that an inability to perform sexually is perfectly normal. The common link is, more often than not, internet pornography.

The otherwise healthy young men seeking impotence treatment today come “from various cultures, with different levels of education, religiosity, attitudes, values, diets, marijuana use, and personalities,” says Marnia Robinson, who recently presented a collection of studies on the topic online with Psychology Today. “They have only two things in common: heavy use of today’s Internet porn and increasing need for more extreme material.

Doctors find men perfectly healthy, ED caused by Porn and Performance Anxiety.

Many have visited doctors only to find out that they are healthy and there is no reason why they can’t perform. Doctors often tell them that they suffer from performance anxiety, lacking any better diagnosis. But when even masturbation without porn or porn-induced fantasies is brutal, performance anxiety is hardly the problem.

Treating ED Caused By Performance Anxiety In Young Men

Experts say that it is not the pornography itself that is harmful; it’s the availability. With the growth of the internet, porn is never more than three clicks away, and the variation is endless. Users quickly and unknowingly train their brains to expect new partners, new positions, and more titillating scenarios. Like a drug addict, the internet pornography addict needs to continue upgrading to bigger and better porn to keep getting erections and ejaculations. In the end, no honest woman can compete; the libido drops, and impotence sets in.

Some researchers have stressed that porn is just a masturbation aid and has been around for decades. We agree on that, but in the past there were only magazines such as playboy which is considered soft-core porn. The internet has not been around for this long and now that men can watch streaming video, any fantasy is just a few clicks away. Men are constantly browsing the web looking from harder and more extreme types of porn, something they have not seen before. Each time they are doing this they are causing brain chemistry desensitization, to the point where they have developed a dependency on porn and without it they cannot get aroused and therefore no erections.

Unlike several types of erectile dysfunction that are not reversible, porn induced ED can be. For men who have diabetes, erectile dysfunction is a condition that will need to be treated with meds. Those who have ED because of excessive porn viewing HAVE TO QUIT WATCHING PORN! We have read e-mails of some men who were able to balance both, watching a little bit of porn and still being able to get erections. However, in most cases the only way out is to STOP WATCNING PORN for at least 3 months, then check to see if things have improved and take it from there.

Once you stop watching porn you can get your erections back.

Here is an e-mail we received from a man who was able to get his erections back by slowly reversing what he had done. Very interesting testimonial, he actually did everything backwards, by going from Extreme porn, back to hardcore, then to soft core and then NONE:

I am probably one of the biggest porn addicts online. I started at the age of 16 and am now 29. I have been a virgin for the most of my twenties and practically never had sex, except with a prostitute at the age on 24, but this was only possible with the help of a cialis pill I had.

I want to share my story of how I got severe ED by only watching porn. Hopefully my story can inspire others to follow my tracks.

I started by checking out nude playboy pics online, through the yahoo images search (turning off the safe search feature). This went on for a few weeks until I discover several free hardcore porn sites (did not have a credit card at 17 LOL, free was the only way). Once I was at hardcore, playboy was a joke and I needed something more extreme. I spent at least 3 years on one particular site which updated its movie clips daily, so I always got something fresh, but that got old fast.

After time flew by I went on the search for something I had never seen before, I am not going to mention it but if you do enough research you will find whatever sexual fantasy you have, on the internet. It gets to the point where you run out of places to look. By the time I was 27 I was masturbating 3 times a day and had no social life with girls what so ever. If I saw an Asian girl at the mall or wherever, I just got home and starting looking at Asian porn, problem solved right? Wrong!

To my surprise I met a great girl at friend’s graduation and she actually asked me out. To make a long story short, we fell in love and dated for 2 months until we finally tried to get intimate. I was not expecting to get erection trouble when she stripped for me, but I was as soft as can be! This went on happing at least 3 times and I was still watching porn during all of this. After doing my research, I came to the conclusion it was the porn. I do not have much will power but was willing to do anything to keep this girl. She was at the point of breaking up with me, so I had to act fast.

I grabbed my balls and started reversing what I had done. For a whole week I first started on the initial hardcore site I used years ago, which was extreme but not as others I use to visit. I then gradually scaled back done to playboy, where I was able to get erections again no problem, after the week was over I decided, that’s it, no more porn for me. It was hard and I almost budged a few times but I was able to go for 7 more weeks with NO porn.

It did work just as I had planned, I was able to get an erection when my girl and I started making out, and the rest came naturally. I was no longer dependant on porn and am still porn free.

If you want my honest advice, then step back from porn or it will ruin your chances of ever starting a family or being intimate with girls. Gradually roll back what you have put your mine through and get back to those erections you use to get when you saw a girls thong or even a boob.

It takes time, but give your self at least 2 months and you will notice the difference.”

This is a question we have heard many times over lately. If you are a new reader and have never been to our website Edguider.com before, then let us start by saying Porn is not or niche, and EDG focuses on helping men find a proper treatment for erectile dysfunction. But wait, what about Porn and ED?

Over the past year, we have been seeing an increasing amount of searchers in our logs; one of the most common questions men are searching for is: “Can watching too much porn give you Erectile Dysfunction.” Although there has been little research or studies done on Porn and ED, many are convinced that being addicted to Porn can affect your erections when it comes down to the real thing. What we mean by this is you can only get erections by watching Porn. If you want to have casual sex, sleeping with your partner or wife can cause your erections not to function as they do with Porn.

The more Porn you watch, the worse it can get; you are unknowingly training your brain to only get aroused around images you like to see while watching Porn, be it hardcore, fetish, lesbian, etc.… Whatever you want to see is available just a few clicks away, and this is the wrong way to approach masturbation and sex. The good news is there is a way to reverse Porn induced erectile dysfunction, which we will discuss at the end of this article.

Vitaros is a cream designed to be applied directly to the tip of the penis with a single-use applicator. The active ingredient of the cream, alprostadil, also known as PDE1, has been combined with specially developed high absorption molecules that allow the alprostadil to penetrate the skin and enter the bloodstream quickly. Because the cream uses an active ingredient different from such popular erectile dysfunction therapies as Viagra or Cialis, it may very well be a good alternative for those who have had limited success with pills. It is also associated with fewer and less severe side effects. The downside is that it must be stored in a refrigerator.

Apricus has applied for approval from Swissmedic for marketing Vitaros as an erectile dysfunction therapy in Switzerland. What has happened now is that Swissmedic has posed some additional questions. Apricus has filed an official response, thus starting Swissmedic’s 90-day review process. Suppose the answers filed by Apricus are found acceptable. In that case, a preliminary approval may be given, further questions may be asked, and Apricus would have to send in final labeling and pricing information, after which follows another 90-day review process and, hopefully, an approval. As for how many Swiss francs Apricus thinks Vitaros should sell for, they have not said, and previous statements have suggested 10-12 American dollars per dose.

The newly anticipated premature ejaculation spray can be hitting the market soon enough, and men will be able to buy the PSD502 spray before you can say, “Darn, not again.” Over 35 percent of men suffer from PE, and the company Shionogi Pharma did their math on this; they are hoping to launch as soon as possible.

At an annual meeting for the Urological Association in California, Shionogi Pharma presented doctors and sexual medicines experts on their new drug PSD502. Its name does sound interesting, but some experts believe that it is not much different than products that are already available on the market.

You might have seen similar products. Durex even has a set of condoms that contains a small amount of lube; they are called Durex Performax. This lube is supposed to de-sensitize the tip of the penis and contains a popular active ingredient called Benzocaine. This is not the only product out there for PE; there are many different kinds of creams; one, in particular, is called MANDELAY; it also contains the ingredient Benzocaine.

Are there any more treatments for Premature Ejaculation?
Just pick up a dirty magazine or, in some cases, any print mag that features a sexy woman on the front cover. We have all seen the advertisements on the back pages, everything from penis rings to PE creams and sprays. As far as prescription treatments for PE go, the only known one is a medication called Priligy (dapoxetine), but for all you US readers don’t get too excited yet, it is not approved by the FDA yet and can take some time to reach America.

The penis is like any other muscle in your body, if you don’t use it, you loose it. This goes for older men as well. If you do not exercise, you will loose muscle tone. The more you exercise, the better the definition is the muscle being exercised. To make muscle stronger, exercising it makes more blood flow to that muscle.

Listen to this; the major factor in ED (erectile dysfunction) is lack of blood flow to the penis. Most men do not know that this is the major function of Viagra or Cialis, helps blood flow to the penis. Like a muscle, exercise it and you will add blood flow.

Finnish researchers studied almost 1000 men for five years. The age of these men at the beginning of the study was 55 to 75. The research unveiled that the men who were having regular sex at the beginning of the study were much less likely to develop ED at the end of the study. These researchers are encouraging men to be sexually active into their golden years.

In Finland, the University of Tampere’s Dr. Koskimaki and colleagues reported these findings in the American Journal of Medicine.

The report said that men in this age group that had sex less than once a week had two times the risk of getting ED as the men who had sex at least once a week. And compared to the men who were having sex 3 or more times a week, the ones having sex less than once a week were 4 times more likely then the more than 3 times a week group.

Other factors can contribute to erectile dysfunction as well. Heart disease, age, medications, depression, and diabetes are among those factors. But even with those considerations the researchers report that sexual activity was still a major factor.

Want to keep getting up later in life seniors? Just like exercise, sexual activity will help keep it harder. Not only that, but other research shows that sexual activity also helps the heart. Imagine, helping the heart and your erections all in one!

Not only that, what would it do for you psychologically? All you here about in commercials these days is the need for Viagra when you get older. How would you like to be the senior in the park with your friends bragging about how you were doing it with your partner last night? Do you think that would be good for your morale? The answer is clear…

Before we show you 3 ways of stopping psychological ED and performance anxiety, let’s explain what they really are and factors that cause them:

Performance Anxiety:

This is a fear of how you are going to perform. It is a common sexual problem and anxiety plays a huge role, causing you to feel fear before engaging in sexual intercourse. The fear of how you are going to perform and what your partner will think of you can lower your self esteem and cause ED to kick in.

How long will I last?
Will she think my penis is small?
Am I doing it right?
What if she tells her friends?
I hope I am getting hard enough!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Stop!!!!!!

Those are all common thoughts that performance anxiety can generate. An awareness of failing to please your partner or getting it up typically produces so much preoccupation and anxiety, that it causes men to loose their erections. This can happen in various episodes and if you do not treat performance anxiety, it can happen every time you want to have sex. You are training your mind to feel fear before intercourse and the key is to reverse this cycle.

If a man tells his wife beforehand and works into the new sexual relationship, Viagra can help this new relationship mature and enhance a relationship. But if a man jumps into it with both feet and is all of a sudden in the mood all the time, this can be overwhelming for the wife.

Hanflings always advises that couples need to make the decision together before actually buying the ED drug. They could even go to their physicians and learn how to use it. Like anything out there, there are instructions for proper use.

If this increased libido does make a man go looking for another partner that leads to divorce, chances are there were other underlying issues in the relationship, which makes the drug unlikely to be the culprit.

A spokeswoman for Viagra, Jenifer Jacobs, says oversexed men with wives having trouble coping is a very rare circumstance.

Man talks to his wife

Couples need to work together to resolve sex issues, including ED. Viagra is a tool for couples, and these couples need to understand this. In reality, it is not just for the man. This is Hanflings biggest concern with Viagra.
