It's a known fact that most men watch porn. But are you one
of those guys who regularly get their dose of viewing adult material on
the internet?
And in doing so, have you become sort of a
global citizen in the world of porn? If yes, then you could be heading
for trouble, especially if you're under the impression that viewing
things people do in videos can actually make you better in the sack.
According to a research study, watching online porn can affect men's performance in the bedroom.
The
findings of the study states that exposure to porn is desensitising
young men to such an extent that they are unable to get excited by
ordinary sexual activities. This is the result of over stimulation of
dopamine (a neurotransmitter that activates the pleasure centre in the
brain) on a continuous basis by watching pornography. In the process, a
paradoxical effect gets generated whereby the brain loses its ability to
respond to normal levels of dopamine when it gets used to a higher
spike of dopamine. This means that individuals need experiences of an
extreme nature to get sexually aroused.
Sexologist Dr Deepak
Jumani agrees with the study saying, "There is an increase in the number
of such cases as online pornography is highly popular and exciting
because its accessible, affordable and anonymous. In fact, today we live
in a sexually saturated society and we are exposed to tons of
information, much of which is distorted." He opines that pornography
reduces one's sexual currency in terms of pleasure and romance.
Sexologist
Dhananjay Gambhire, who has also encountered many such cases in his
practice, says, "What is shown in porn is not natural sex. These are
actions according to picturisation and titillation, and doing the same
produces a lot of discomfort and failure. Especially in the initial
days, this can be very devastating on sexual relationships."
As
for treatment, Dr Gambhire suggests desensitising the patient, i.e.
staying away from porn. Counselling and sometimes medicines too are
prescribed.
