“I’m worried, I’m worried about the impact of porn on men and on women,” said Dr. Abraham Morgentaler, Urologist and Director of Men’s Health Boston, who treats sexual dysfunction in men. “I see young men coming in who are really confused about what normal is because all they know about sex is what they’ve seen on porn.” Dr. Morgentaler, who is also an Associate Clinical Professor of Urology at Harvard Medical School, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, warns: “Once upon a time in the Victorian age when women wore long gowns…it was considered to be really sexy when a man saw a turn of an ankle. That was enough for men to go and write sonnets and all of these other things. Then, we went through the mini-skirt phase in the 60s and all that and we talked about, this is the apocalypse is coming, and oh my God this is so sexualized.” He continued: “Now we have it where everybody’s got a computer or even a smart phone and you’re on the internet you can see whatever you want,” he said. “There’s no surprises…I think that the concern is, what porn has figured out is what really works for the brain of the guys. It’s the maximum stimulus.”
