“It’s hard to know exactly how many young men are suffering from porn-induced ED. But it’s clear that this is a new phenomenon, and it’s not rare.”
– Dr. Abraham Morgentaler, Director of Men’s Health Boston and Clinical Professor of Urology at Harvard Medical School
It’s a disturbing by-product of the internet age – healthy young men who suffer from sexual dysfunction because of an addiction to pornography. And it’s a condition that has some men turning to drugs like Viagra to restore normal sexuality, instead of seeking treatment for addiction.

In response to Philip Zimbardo’s “The Demise of Guys?” TED talk, Gary Wilson asks whether our brains evolved to handle the hyperstimulation of today’s Internet. He also discusses the disturbing symptoms showing up in some heavy Internet users, the surprising reversal of those symptoms, and the science behind these 21st-century phenomena.
