Watching Porn May Not Be All Bad for You
Many people have strong views on whether or not watching porn is healthy, but scientists at UCLA and Concordia University recently set out to clear the air as to whether it’s physically harmful for men to watch visual sexual stimuli. Translation: would there be erectile dysfunction associated with watching porn? They found that when viewing this stimuli within the range of time listed in the study, there was actually greater sexual responsiveness, not erectile dysfunction. More hours viewing the stimuli was also linked to a stronger desire for sex with a partner. Keep in mind that watching porn can have emotional and mental health impacts, so it’s best to remember the adage “everything within reason.” Still, it’s nice to know that there are some unexpected physical perks. Watching porn may give men a boost, priming them for their next in-person encounter.
