Porn & Erectile Dysfunction (Video)

Image Courtesy E. Gibbons

Men in their 20s and 30s are reporting “copulatory impotence,” which is the inability to maintain an erection with an in-person sexual partner. These men report they still objectively find their partner attractive, but need to fantasize porn-like scenarios to get or maintain an erection.

The abundance of Viagra and Cialis commercials portrays erectile dysfunction as a normal, common phenomenon. Not, however, for men under 40! It’s often the porn!

AB1775: Affected Client Speaks Out

StopSign_StopAB1775_500x500

Here’s an example of why AB1775 is a terrible and ill-conceived law. If you’re not worried about the erosion of client confidentiality, then you’re not paying attention.

To Whom It May Concern,

I am the client directly affected by AB1775. I’m terrified to write this letter, but hope maybe I can express the grave mistake and consequences of AB1775.

I was born in the early 1980s and hit my pre-teen years when the Internet was becoming a sensation.

Stats on Internet Porn

Interesting infographic on internet pornography from OnlineMBA.com.

By the way, #2 is misleading. I think this statistic is reporting how many hits/second internet porn receives. The number of people viewing porn online at any given second is certainly greater than 28,258 … probably by a factor of 100.

Signs Your Partner Might Be a Sex Addict

Are you struggling to make sense of behaviors of your husband, wife, partner? Partners of sex- and love-addicts often report they sensed something was “off” before the addiction was exposed.

Possible indicators of sexually compulsivity include:

  • Staying up late to surf the web or watch television
  • Frequently isolating from spouses or partners, and not informing them of their whereabouts
  • Acts controlling during sexual activity, or has frequent mood swings before or after sex
  • Is demanding about sex, especially regarding time and place
  • Gets angry if someone shows concern about a problem with pornography
