CNN Doctor thinks men are watching far too much PORN!

[PR_Glen]

Porn, schmorn.

I don?t care what anybody says, real sex with a real person is better than porn any day of the week. At Good in Bed, we believe that porn is the equivalent of professional wrestling: phony and superficial. It?s like subsisting on a junk-food diet of Gummi bears and Gatorade when you could be having a gourmet meal.

But when you?re living la vida loca, there isn?t always time for a balanced meal, and for lots of guys, that?s where porn comes in. It?s easy, it?s lazy, it?s fun, and, oh yeah, it?s there. It?s always right there?even when we don?t want it to be.

By my estimate, men are masturbating 50 to 500% more than they would normally without Internet porn. So if a guy normally masturbated once a day, he might now be doing it two or three times a day. If he masturbated three times a week, he might now be getting graphic with his graphics 15 times a week.

If you?re 17 and single, this might not be a problem. But if you?re 40 and toting a gut, it?s an issue?a real issue. Some guys may still feel mentally like they?re 17 years old, but they can?t have sex that way. Their bodies have changed and so have their refractory periods, the natural interval between erections.

As a result, today?s woman faces more challenges to her sexual satisfaction than ever before. An increasing number of men are suffering from a syndrome I?ve dubbed Sexual Attention Deficit Disorder. Just as people with real ADD tend to be easily distracted, guys with SADD have become so accustomed to the high levels of visual novelty and stimulation that Internet porn provides that they?re unable to focus on real sex with a real woman. Men with SADD tend to find themselves getting bored or impatient during sex, and suffering from mechanical ?male-functions?: They may be physiologically aroused and even have an erection, but they?re not at peak mental arousal. Guys with SADD may also simply lack the mojo for real sex because they?re depleted from masturbation. They?re not running on a full tank, physically, mentally, and certainly not sexually.

It?s a SADD state of affairs and this new world order of porn doesn?t show any signs of changing. My guess is that we?re just seeing the tip of the iceberg in terms of the myriad ways porn will alter the landscape of our love lives. Porn?s not just an issue, or a problem, or a quick release, it?s part of a major shift in our sexual mores. Just as the sexual revolution led to"The Joy of Sex," and "Sex and the City" led to the mainstreaming of the Rabbit vibrator, my prediction is that Internet porn will affect everything in our sex lives. That?s for better or for worse?and it doesn?t have to be for worse.

After all, masturbation is a healthy activity. When couples are in good relationships, they actually tend to masturbate more than when they?re not. Masturbation is not something people do just because we?re ?not getting any??it?s something we do because it?s human and healthy. In fact, when people stop masturbating, it?s generally a bad sign: It can mean they?re depressed or have a health problem. Given this, in a healthy relationship, there?s nothing wrong with porn, either. And when couples share porn together, it can make them even more excited about sex with each other and be a strong bonding experience.

Porn can also be a healthy way of exploring forbidden taboos. Fantasies are fantasies for a reason?because they?re not real. Porn provides a venue to explore things that you normally don?t get to explore. People should not be judged on the porn they enjoy, and there isn?t always a direct relationship between the stuff we look at and the stuff we actually want to try.

Of course, that?s little comfort to a woman who?s concerned about her male partner?s use of porn. She may have a lot questions about her guy?s porn use: Is he into something really kinky, does he want me to look different, should I be performing, etc. In truth, a guy often isn?t thinking any of these things?he?s just enjoying some porn and that?s about it. But if these silent questions build over time they can really damage a relationship.

Once couples start discussing porn, it?s a stimulus to their relationship?to sharing fantasies, talking about likes and dislikes, and more. Also, it doesn?t hurt to remember that there was a time before porn, or at least when porn was not so easily accessible to the average person. Sure, guys turned to magazines or videos. But they also relied on their imaginations and their erotic memories. To me, that is one of the biggest downsides of porn. So consider taking a break from porn and letting your imagination be your guide?you might be surprised where it takes you.

CNN and their show biz doctors can go fuck themselves.

[Juicy D. Links]

[PR_Glen]

[alf6300]

here and there the guy makes sense. there and here he's just feeding stereotypes and selling his stuff. nice mix, anyways.

[BFT3K]

Obviously it isn't good for business to agree with the article, but the truth of the matter is, porn is definitely desensitizing the masses. There was a time when just watching hot dancers on TV was good enough to wank it to. Things have definitely changed...

[Vendzilla]

Articles like this is why CNN is doing shit in the ratings

[CaptainHowdy]

You can never watch too much porn...

[d-null]

porn can be a good thing if it keeps men from going out as much and getting in trouble by chasing bar-sluts and getting diseases or pregnancies or psycho-bitches and their drama and trying to fuck them up after, there is a lot to be said for taking the lazy route

[DEA - banned for life]

And 80% of them can thank ManWin for providing free porn.

You can only fap to a memory only for so long

[GARY LEE]

I wonder when the Aids Health Foundation assholes are going to try to pass a law to tell me I need rubber gloves and a condom to watch porn or else the spank the monkey police will write me a ticket and I have to go to court.

Does anyone know what the salary/compensation is for AHF Founder, and apparently self-appointed President for Life, Michael Weinstein?

I think the Aids Health Foundation should subsidize the adult industry, if what the cnn guy says is true...

[BlackCrayon]

i don't care what the dude says, if women would put out more there would be less watching porn.

[Barry-xlovecam]

"By my estimate, men are masturbating 50 to 500% more than they would normally without Internet porn." Proof of concept ...

[ajrocks]

Get rid of the Tubes and this goes away!

How about women?

That's another part of this article that it completely ignores. The fact that women make up a large percentage of our members database as well. Apparently it's only a problem when men watch too much..

Once you jack off to Japanese girls puking in each other's mouths you can't exactly go back to Playboy.

[The Heron]

I watched porn once, it was interesting!

[HomerSimpson]

I must say that this is really good article.
I don't think it will affect porn sales much, but it will affect what people want to watch on porn sites. What kind of porn. Normal one or abusive, humiliating and rough stuff. There will always be customers for both but I've noticed that most of today's porn is pretty rough and humiliating to the women.

"I don’t care what anybody says, real sex with a real person is better than porn any day of the week."

and there you have it folks, this is the wisdom tens of thousands of dollars will buy you in medical school

[Quentin]

In terms of the impact of his report on porn sales and/or industry perception, all I know is that Dr. Gupta has done a few reports on the obesity problem in America and how unhealthy fast food is, and after those reports, all of us Americans immediately stepped away from the double cheeseburger super value meals and went straight to work on getting super fit and healthy.... right?

Riiiiight.

[Tom_PM]

"It’s always right there—even when we don’t want it to be."

Is he saying that if you buy a computer and plug it into a wall, that porn shows up? Last I checked, the internet works on a Request and Serve basis. Is this a throwback comment about popups? Gonna have to guess so.

[Antonio]

of course I'm watching porn - there are no trannies where I live

I don't usually agree with your politics, but you hit that one right on the nail.
