Men who watch more porn have better sex lives, says study

Men who watch more porn have better sex lives, according to a new study.
A team of researchers at the University of California asked 280 men in their 20s – nearly half of whom were in long-term relationships – how often they spend watching porn over the course of a week, before making them fill out a questionnaire about their sexual desires and activity.
Despite the common misunderstanding that men who watch porn become desensitised to sex, the research found that men who watch more than two hours of porn per week had the highest levels of arousal among all respondents. Further more, men who regularly use pornographic material were less likely to have experienced erectile dysfunction.
“Viewing more sex films was associated with a stronger sex drive, including the desire to have sex with a partner, so sex films may be able to ‘stoke the fire,'” researchers told The Huffington Post.
“The most common error of thinking with respect to men and porn is that all porn is bad for men all of the time,” he added. “The truth is probably that some porn is good for some men in some situations. The challenge is to identify when sex films are most likely to be helpful.”
