Heavy Internet porn use is not fun
Men, women, and teens are getting caught in the web of on-line pornography and, sometimes, can’t get out. With the advent of more free porn than ever before and high levels of accessibility, porn addiction is on the rise.
A study in the UK of 1,057 adults aged 18-24 shows that looking at more than 10 hours a week of porn can have detrimental effects on desire for sex with a partner. Porn is rapidly becoming a substitute for actual sex because, for one thing, it takes less work than intimate engagement with a partner. Attaching to pornography can negatively impact the users ability to get aroused with a real person, and it can sometimes take months before a natural sexual arousal will return.
The article states:
Men who look at porn for 10 hours a week are much more likely to worry it is influencing their behaviour, the survey suggested.
Higher numbers of those heavy users said their porn viewing had upset a partner or caused them to miss a meeting at work.
Men looking at porn for at least 10 hours a week were also more likely to say it can put them off real-life sex.
