As someone who watched internet porn all through my adolescence, and eventually escalated into more extreme content to maintain arousal, as well as develop porn-induced erectile dysfunction when with a real partner.... I can confirm what @hubermanlab and @ChrisWillx say here:

I’m one of the young guys @hubermanlab is describing here. Chronically using internet porn through my adolescence conditioned my arousal template to the point I couldn’t be aroused for real sex. Thanks Dr. Huberman for discussing this with @jockowillink & @echocharles 💪🏼

How long does it take to recover from porn addiction or a porn-induced sexual dysfunction? If someone says “90 days” know that it is an arbitrary number, but it is a good starting point to get through withdrawal and begin reversing addiction related 🧠 changes. Some thoughts👇

I just feel like "most women reported that they had been choked by a sexual partner" and "15% of women, 21% of gay/bi men had partner insert penis into anus without first discussing or asking permission" are the more significant take-aways here....
Women are more often called names during sex than men. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

What @NicoleArbour tells @jordanbpeterson here is spot on... As porn use goes up, real sex goes down. 🤳📈= 🍆📉 As a young guy who had porn-induced erectile dysfunction at the ripe age of 23, I can confirm.

Porn is rewiring an entire generation to crave pixels on a screen while ignoring the person in the sheets.

It’s been 10 years since I quit porn. In 2011 we didn’t know that guys who grew up using porn often need longer than older guys to regain sexual function, even though that’s completely opposite of what you’d expect. Why? The adolescent brain is more deeply conditioned 🧠

It’s not that more young people are sexually inactive, it’s that more young people are exclusively S.A.D. (Sexually Active Digitally)

Addiction impairs the decision-making process. The physiological brain change behind this is called hypofrontality. It means the decision-making parts of the cortex are functioning lower than normal. Dr. Kevin McCauley explains:

I made a vid for youth that explains the four main brain changes all addictions share, including Hypofrontality. Take a gander: youtu.be/ffKy-DFU1S4

“our hunter-gatherer brain, exposed to hours of porn each week for years on end, becomes accustomed to super high levels of stimulation and begins to rewire itself, becoming numb to everyday pleasures but keenly receptive to porn.”- @YourBrainOnPorn menshealth.com.au/inside-the…
