UNDERSTANDING PORN'S INFLUENCE On Your S*X LIFE
200,000 Americans are classified as p**n addicts.
But many aren't "diagnosed" or aware it ruins their lives. Ultimately, only you can decide if p**n is a problem. However, if your behavior
negatively impacts any other area of your
life, then it is an issue worth addressing. The most common areas impacted by p**n are relationships, mental health, general well-being and... your s*xual performance.
While it can be a good way to release steam, it's important to think of p**n in terms of what it does to your brain. One visit to Wendy's drive-thru isn't going to make you obese just as ma********ng to online videos once will not make you a p**n addict.
But turn it into a habit and there comes a risk of abuse and negative consequences for one's
mental and physical health.
Ever heard of p**n-induced erectile dysfunction (PIED). A relatively new term, but
how fast it became adopted is concerning.
Many men have allegedly acquired symptoms
of ED as a result of their p**n habit.
Yes, all due to an unimaginable variety of
s*xual acts and potential mating partners is
available 24/7 in HD at the tips of our fingers...
In real life though, we're limited by what's in front of us and it rarely matches the standard
set by carefully directed high-budget p**n movies. Real s*x is slower, awkward, the positions are usually less creative, and weird sounds and smells are normal.
P**n creates unrealistic expectations both for the looks of the partner and the s*x itself.
Men can easily become insecure about their p*nis size in comparison to actors usually cast in p**n, too. And here it comes... Performance anxiety.
But it works the other way round, too. Many people start using p**n to soothe their feelings of anxiety, insecurity and depression. When that happens and p**n gets in the
way of other areas of life, like relationships, mental health issues reappear, too.
P**n becomes 'another' problem, not a solution. So not only do you struggle with depression or anxiety, but you now also feel
depressed or anxious because you feel out of control.
Premature Ej*culation & P**n
Rushing on your way to achieve org*sm when watching p**n makes your body accept it as normal and behave the same way even with a real partner.
After all, most men can be done with their business in about a minute or two. Do it daily, long enough to form those neural pathways and you got a premature ej*culation situation on your hands.
A single instance of PE is no big deal, but each perceived failure will make you feel more and more anxious about your future s*xual interactions.
S*xual confidence comes from within, especially if you're confident about your abilities to please your partner because you've done it so many times in the past. So go reinforce that pattern!
