Porn Can Make You More Viagra Dependent

In a Huffington Post article entitled “No Porn, No Viagra?“, Marnia Robinson, an expert on sexual relationships, discusses the negative effects of Internet porn on male potency. She concludes that men who are addicted to Internet porn are likely to develop porn-ED, which is the inability to get an erection without the use of porn stimulation (e.g. watching online pornographic videos).

Men who frequently masturbate to porn will become less responsive to “natural” sexual stimulation by their partners, and will need an external stimulant, like a Viagra pill, to help them get it up.

This condition seems to be reversible and can be cured “simply” by quitting porn. That may not be an easy step to take for most porn addicts since their brains are wired in a certain way that makes them more sexually responsive to porn/masturbation and less reactive to real women. That’s why men trying to recover from porn addiction usually get frustrated and many of them return to using porn after just a few days/weeks. However, if someone has real determination to continue the healing process by abstaining from porn for a certain period of time (could be weeks or months) then his brain will rewire and return to normal mode, i.e. being able to get it up and engage in satisfactory sexual intercourse with a real partner without the help of porn or medicines like Viagra.
