Houston: Men addicted to Internet porn site may develop an inability to be turned on by real partners, two new studies say. According to at least two recent studies, “More and more young Italian men are suffering from ‘sexual anorexia’ and are unable to get erections because of Internet porn use that started in their mid-teens.”

Marnia Robinson, author of “Cupid’s Poisoned Arrow,” said a growing number of otherwise healthy young men who were, however, Internet porn addicts developed an inability to be turned on by real partners.

“Desperate young men from various cultures, with different levels of education, religiosity, attitudes, values, diets, marijuana use, and personalities are seeking help. They have only two things in common: heavy use of today’s Internet porn and increasing need for more extreme material,” she said in an article posted on Psychology Today.

“They are amazed that heavy porn use can affect them adversely, that no one told them it could affect them, and that humans have actually masturbated without porn. There is almost total ignorance about the significance for porn users of the recent discoveries of addiction science,” she said. (PTI)
