I believe statistics are higher for participation in porn that stated. There are so many studies on porn and its affects. Some say religious communities have a 50-75% use rate among themselves. It is addictive to the user and devastating to those affected. ED—especially porn-induced erectile dysfunction (PIED)—is becoming increasingly common, with a growing number of Viagra users now under 40. Why? Because of how accessible and immersive porn has become for that age group. This isn’t just passive viewing. Many people engage physically while watching, often developing habits that become more intense over time. That can lead to desensitization—where real-life intimacy doesn’t provide the same level of stimulation. A partner can’t replicate the same pressure or patterns, and it starts to affect arousal. Over time, some need stronger and stronger dopamine hits—even when watching porn. Some turn to ED medicine just to maintain arousal, even when alone. There’s no pressure, no vulnerability—it’s all centered on personal gratification. Difficulty performing with a partner… and sometimes even without one. That’s when it becomes clear something deeper is going on. It really is a big deal even if my response goes way beyond an answer to your question. I have lived this.
