Great Porn Experiment

A post by the Closet Professor led me to this video.  It's more than a few years old.  Am I the only one who hasn't seen it? 

It is fascinating what porn does to the brain, and this video explains it.  The widespread use of porn is epidemic.  The web statistics for porn sites are astounding -- a huge proportion of all web traffic is for porn.

Considering that gay men account for perhaps only 5% of all men, the amount of gay porn out there is staggering.  Porn is causing huge societal shifts in how we behave.

There are movements to stop the use of porn, maybe even stop masturbation.  Ever hear of the No FAP movement?  New term for me.

The no (or significantly reduced) FAP movement claims the following benefits:

  • Higher testosterone levels
  • Increased motivation to actually go out and meet real people for actual sex.
  • More free time (yea, this is a no brainer)
  • Harder erections
  • Better real sex
  • Enhanced mood
I think there is definitely some truth to these claims.  I don't think anyone can totally go without relieving themselves, but reducing frequency probably has some benefit.
