Do Porn and Masturbation Cause Erectile Dysfunction?
Despite what you read on the Internet, doctors and scientific researchers are clear on the answer: no!
There is no such thing as “Porn Induced Erectile Dysfunction” (PIED).
The International Society for Sexual Medicine says, “The notion that masturbation causes erectile dysfunction (ED) is a myth.”
Experts dispute the notion of porn addiction and sex addiction in general. In fact, PIED and “porn addiction” are not recognized in the Diagnostic Statistical Manual for Psychiatric Disorders (DSM-V), nor by the International Society for Sexual Medicine (ISSM) – although it can fall under the general category of compulsive behaviors.
