Don’t blame porn for erectile dysfunction
- 1_player 10y agoI've read about the NoFap community, and many porn abstainers report the disappearance of ED amongst other things (the so called nofap superpowers). I agree with the underlying philosophy, even though it has grown too much cult-like and it seems that cutting down on porn makes you a Casanova. That's not so simple. The article is about a teenager and erectile dysfunction, scared that porn gave him erectile dysfunction. Here's a story: When I was a teenager, the first time I had the chance to get frisky with my girlfriend I just.. couldn't do it. If I had known about NoFap at the time, I would've blamed it on ED and porn. But instead I was just anxious. It's called performance anxiety. When I realised this, I somehow found a way to overcome it and things turned out well. Porn is bad, too much masturbation is bad, a lifelong porn addiction might cause ED, but... don't blame porn or ED for silly teenage anxiety. The truth is complex.
