Pornography May Cause Impotence
December 04, 2006
There is an epidemic of impotence
on college campuses, according to the Washington Post, and the cause
may be "loose women and too much booze." The article reports
that young men can usually get sex whenever they want because, according
to surveys, many young women are as likely to initiate sex as men,
which removes the "age old, erotic power of the chase."
(Strange that the women as defined as the loose ones.)
When performance anxiety is paired with binge drinking and drugs
it is no surprise that more and more young men are visiting college
clinics. The pharmaceutical companies are well aware of this: Viagra
is now using younger men in their commercials in order to attract
a new customer base. However, there is an additional cause of impotence
- pornography, especially internet pornography. Author Thomas A.
Szyszkiewcs in his rebuttal to the Kinsey Report, writes that pornography
is implicated in impotence as well as harassment and sexual crimes.
Men become so desensitized to sexual stimulation after hours of
viewing porn that they are often unable to sexually respond to their
wives or partners.
In addition, today's music videos often portray women in cheap,
tawdry poses, with body language that grinds and pleads for the
male singer, who is usually depicted as virile and pimp-like. Demeaning
lyrics in most rap songs implicate women as whores. Even primetime
television has increased the "rawness factor" of its sexual
content which, when combined with all the other factors, provide
a large number of reasons to choose from when trying to decide what
exactly is the cause of this national epidemic of impotence.
Judith Reisman, PhD explains, "The proliferation of pornography
into mainstream America spreads impotence as a natural outcome of
moral apathy." Men want a significant intimate emotional relationship
with commitment just as women do, even though society would have
us believe the opposite. The Canadian Supreme Court ruled that all
pornography was toxic in 1992. Reisman says that "cures like
Viagra conceal the dysfunctional and anxiety causing role played
by pornography in promoting impotence."
The Oprah Winfrey show, among others, has covered marriages affected
by porn-addicted husbands, in which therapy can help restore the
family. Although the Washington Post article did not offer a solution
to the impotence problem, shining light on the issue can be a beginning
on the path to help for many. As for the solution to too much porn
on the internet; those who support freedom of speech will be a large
obstacle to any attempt at controlling the porn epidemic.
