citing what long-term studies exactly?

I think the warnings are of precautionary nature. But if you want some studies: https://www.yourbrainonporn.com/brain-scan-studies-porn-users https://www.yourbrainonporn.com/brain-scan-studies-porn-user...

Here is a good review from the NIH: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5039517/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5039517/ Abstract: Traditional factors that once explained men’s sexual difficulties appear insufficient to account for the sharp rise in erectile dysfunction, delayed ejaculation, decreased sexual satisfaction, and diminished libido during partnered sex in men under 40. This review (1) considers data from multiple domains, e.g., clinical, biological (addiction/urology), psychological (sexual conditioning), sociological; and (2) presents a series of clinical reports, all with the aim of proposing a possible direction for future research of this phenomenon. Alterations to the brain's motivational system are explored as a possible etiology underlying pornography-related sexual dysfunctions. This review also considers evidence that Internet pornography’s unique properties (limitless novelty, potential for easy escalation to more extreme material, video format, etc.) may be potent enough to condition sexual arousal to aspects of Internet pornography use that do not readily transition to real-life partners, such that sex with desired partners may not register as meeting expectations and arousal declines. Clinical reports suggest that terminating Internet pornography use is sometimes sufficient to reverse negative effects, underscoring the need for extensive investigation using methodologies that have subjects remove the variable of Internet pornography use. In the interim, a simple diagnostic protocol for assessing patients with porn-induced sexual dysfunction is put forth. Essentially, yes, Porn on the internet seems to be a 'serious' problem in that it affects relationships and personal health in a measurably negative way.

  Delayed ejaculation is a sexual dysfunctional now? After decades (more?) Of jokes about chronic premature ejaculation?

    Anecdotally, this does make sex with my boyfriend less enjoyable, since it becomes a chore to get him to cum.

    Have a friend who can't have kids the natural way because of this

The Bible, citing the eternal God. Can't get longer term than that ;-)
