It’s a long debated subject…
Is watching online porn, damaging to the individual?
According to top top psychosexual therapist; Angela Gregory, the answer is yes!
Angela blames the increase in young men suffering sexual health problems such as erectile dysfunction, as directly related to the excessive viewing of online porn.
Angela told Newsbeat; “one of the first assessment questions I’d always ask now is about pornography and masturbatory habit because that can be the cause of their issues about maintaining an erection with a partner.”
It is believed that those that are addicted to online porn, become desensitised to ‘normal’ sex and often search for more extreme, hardcore stuff – this in turn, impacts their real life relationships and many claim they find it hard to get off without porn!
If you believe you may be addicted to porn, or know someone that does, speaking to your GP is your first port of call.
