Fox on Sex: Is Too Much Porn Messing With Your Sex Skills?

[A-n-D-r-E-S]

For the most part, women don?t understand guys and porn. Many women get freaked out and immediately jump to conclusions:

? "Is something wrong with me? Am I too boring?

? "Is that what he?s really into? "

? "Does he want a woman who looks/acts like a porn star?"

What women should know is that for many guys, porn is comparative to a day at the spa: It feels good and relieves stress. Or, think of it a quick, little treat ? kind of like scarfing down a bag of gummy bears in the middle of the day. It doesn't mean we're not interested in having "a real meal" with the woman we love, but sometimes we're in the mood for a snack. No big deal.

But sometimes too much porn is a problem, and lately I?ve been noticing in my practice a new issue: Men whose sex skills are suffering because of their propensity for porn, and women who are noticing that their guys have gone from good in bed to, well, not so good.

How can too much porn affect your sex-skills?

First of all, it can deplete your libido and lead to a lack of mojo ? if you?re masturbating frequently, you may end up being less into sex with your partner and not putting enough time into romance, foreplay and your connection with your partner. And your partner will notice. As men age it's not only perfectly natural to experience longer refractory periods (the time between erections), but also an increased latency period (the time it takes to reach ejaculation).
