There is now emerging evidence proving that overly-frequent masturbation – aroused by the vast cornucopia of freely available porn – is leading to serious cases of erectile dysfunction (ED). Medical professionals say that masturbating too much is actually a standard form of addiction, but it's worsened by pornography. “When people start watching porn, there is a huge flood of dopamine in the brain,” explains Dr. Elizabeth Waterman, a psychologist at Morningside Recovery Center in Newport California. “Over time, the receptors that were once very sensitive become less sensitive, and normal physical intimacy does not produce enough dopamine to stimulate the dopamine receptors.” In other words, the more porn you watch, the more – and harder and more graphic – porn you need in order to become excited. If the trend continues, men can find themselves physically unable to maintain arousal, much less sexual contact with another person. In the single life, this produces a type of male that craves the solitary and fleeting euphoria brought on by porn; or the rush of a brief purely sexual relationship; it also causes an unconscious acceptance of deviant behavior; if carried into the marital state, men become further entrenched, while the female increasingly feels unwanted and abandoned. Add children to the mix, and it becomes a recipe for the break-down of families and society as a whole.
