With the internet, porn is almost unavoidable. Always lurking just a few clicks away, it’s become incredibly easy to find whatever you want, whenever you want it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with firing up an adult site every so often and blowing off some steam, but could an overdependence on these sites lead to issues downstairs?

Yes, excessive porn consumption can in fact lead to problems in the bedroom. But it’s not your penis to blame. In fact, enjoying porn too frequently can lead to wires crisscrossing in your brain.

Research has found that an overreliance on pornography can lead to your brain getting turned around in regards to sexual activity. You see, when you enjoy porn, you’re typically rushing through the activity; focus is put on instant gratification instead of prolonged pleasure.

When your brain begins to associate sexual activity with completion, you’ll struggle to last in bed. Your brain sees sex as a race to completion, and will push you to finish quickly.

That’s not to suggest porn needs to be cut out of your life completely to save yourself from premature ejaculation. No, porn can be a good outlet for sexual desires, but like all things in life it’s best in moderation.
