Porn is damaging young men's sexual health and causing erectile dysfunction, expert warns - Mirror Online
r porn addiction, an expert has cautioned.
The NHS has seen a rise in the number of young men in their late teens and early twenties complaining of erectile dysfunction, which therapist Angela Gregory attributes to online porn.
"Our experience is that, historically, men that were referred to our clinic with problems with erectile dysfunction were older men whose issues were related to diabetes, MS, cardiovascular disease,? she said.
?These younger men do not have organic disease, they've already been tested by their GP and everything is fine.
"So 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."
"I found that when I was lying next to a girl a lot that I just wouldn't be horny at all, despite being really attracted to the girl and wanting to have sex with her, [because] my sexuality was completely wired towards porn.
?At my peak I was probably watching up to two hours of porn every day."
Nick approached a doctor for help, who told him a lot of men his age were suffering the same type of problems.
He eventually managed 100 days without watching porn, and saw his sexual health markedly improve.
