ED Doctor: Is Erectile Dysfunction a Side Effect of Watching Porn?

A New Study Has Found That Watching Pornography Does Not Cause ED

ED Doctor Dallas TXED doctors in Dallas, TX, and elsewhere are pointing to a new study that has found that there is no link between men watching pornography and developing erectile dysfunction.

A study recently published in the International Journal of Impotence Research suggests, what our Dallas ED doctors have known all along, that interacting with pornographic material does not necessarily lead to issues with erectile dysfunction or other problems with sex drive or sexual performance.

Perhaps in an attempt to discourage engaging with porn, conventional wisdom warned that excessive viewing of porn led to ED, loss of sex drive, or mistaken expectations about “real sex.” Pornography has been around for a long time.

However, it has long since come out of the shadows. It is now easily accessible, even legitimate, with the rise of Pornhub and other easily accessible websites and “adult content creators on various social media platforms. All of this has had couples, relationship counselors, and especially ED doctors taking a new look at pornography and its physical and emotional impacts on society and individuals.

The ED doctors and researchers involved in the study in this discussion said that they felt that earlier studies that showed a link between pornography consumption and erectile dysfunction had many methodological flaws, and their study seeks to shed new light on the matter.

Lead researcher David L. Rowland and his fellow ED doctors examined over 3500 men recruited online. Participants needed to have had sexual experience and a current active sex life with a partner or partners.

They were asked a series of questions about their physical and emotional health, their frequency of consuming pornography, and any sexual health issues such as ED, loss of libido, or premature ejaculation.

Results showed that the factors that increased the likelihood of erectile dysfunction were advanced age, anxiety, depression, medical issues, and decreased sexual and relationship satisfaction. Problems with erectile functioning did not seem to be linked to the frequency of consumption of pornographic material.
