But this isn’t the first time we’ve heard of the “porn causes erectile dysfunction” claim. In fact, preliminary research presented at the American Urological Association’s most recent annual meeting presented that very idea—and as it turns out, that wasn’t as clearcut as some news outlets made it out to be, either.
We were a bit hesitant to pin the experiences of just two men on the entirety of guys who watch porn, so we talked to two sex researchers with Ph.D.s to get more details on whether your X-rated habit can cause serious problems with your sex life.
The verdict? There’s no scientific evidence that supports the idea of “porn-induced erectile dysfunction.”
“There are three laboratory studies that have shown sex film viewing is unrelated to erectile functioning,” said Nicole Prause, Ph.D., founder of Liberos, a sex research and biotechnology company in Los Angeles.
“No study has ever linked the two. The therapists are literally manufacturing the idea that these are connected in their patients,” she says. (Here are 10 erectile dysfunction myths you need to stop believing.)
In fact, the problem may come down to the act of masturbation, rather than watching porn.
“In my clinical experience I do not find porn to be a direct cause of [erectile disorder, premature ejaculation, and delayed ejaculation]” explains Ian Kerner, Ph.D., a licensed psychotherapist and sexuality counselor.
