Effects of P**n Addiction.
Common symptoms of p**n-induced male s*xual dysfunction include the following:
👉The p**n user can easily achieve an er****on and or**sm with p**n, but not with an in-the-flesh partner.
👉The p**n user can get an er****on and reach or**sm with an in-the-flesh partner, but it takes longer than he (or his partner) would like.
👉The p**n user’s real-world partners say he seems disengaged and/or disinterested during s*x.
👉The p**n user can only reach or**sm with in-the-flesh partners by replaying p**n imagery in his mind.
👉The p**n user increasingly prefers p**nography to in-the-flesh s*x, finding it more intense and stimulating.
👉The p**n user keeps secrets from real world partners about his p**n use – frequency, amount of time spent with p**n, types of imagery looked at, etc.
👉The p**n user’s real world long-term partner say she (or he) feels like the other woman (or the other man).
Any man who is suffering from p**n-induced s*xual dysfunction, regardless of whether he is addicted to p**n, should step away from p**n for at least a few months. Anecdotal evidence suggests that this helps the brain and body to “reboot,” and eliminates the s*xual dysfunction in ways that er****on-enhancing medications cannot.
Regrettably, p**n addicts are often reluctant to seek help for their addiction and/or its symptomatic s*xual dysfunction. Sometimes they just don’t understand that their solo s*xual activity is an underlying cause of their inability to perform s*xually with real-world partners.
Other times they are simply too ashamed of their behavior and its consequences to talk about it, even with a medical or psychotherapeutic professional.
When they do seek help, perhaps visiting a medical doctor to seek help with erectile dysfunction, they are rarely asked about p**n use. Instead, doctors simply check for obvious physical causes and if/when they don’t find any, they write out a prescription for Vi**ra or a similar drug.
