Question: Do you believe a man masturbating to porn excessively can cause ED during normal sex with his partner (wife)?

I think that it may be worth exploring the why's of a husband's desires to masturbate to porn. On one hand, it could certainly permit strengthening of sexual desire in many cases (and even in recent studies has been shown in correlative fashion to potentially lessen a male's chance of prostate cancer on ejaculation). Some woman truly have a voracious sexual appetite (and those husbands should perhaps view this as a lucky occurence), however - there is a very real well-defined phenomenon dubbed the "Coolidge Effect" (yes, described after our own 30th president's sexual woes) where a male suffers merely from a significant refractory effect unless stimulated by a novice female (this could actually mean that when done being "stimulated" by the females on "TV" - his wife could be perceived the novice stimulant and have the opposite effect of what you might be describing).

However - a key word that sticks out and is probably most disturbing to me is that you used the word "excessive."

Now, let's say that you are that wife (it may certainly not be, but for the sake of argument let's say that it is). Your perception dictates that in your mind, this pursuit is obviously doing nothing more than weakening the potential bond that could, otherwise exist. That said, I would likely next ask if this person has confronted the husband about it?

Of course, what a husband deems "perfect" could certainly be whatever his recent viewing pleasure has been which could translate into some sort of reprucussions in the bedroom. But I would also follow up on how "ED" is being defined here.

I would ask for a little bit of clarification on the "ED" term for starters - as you can see, this can be wide-ranging.

Not really, but perhaps this man should analyze first and foremost why it is he can't have sex with his wife as he does with his porn excessively. I also think this man should really start having more sex with his poor wife, cuz, what kind of marriage is that anyways that you have to masturbate to porn?

The dude might as well be single

Is this a mental disturbance or part of depression?

Hello
1. Build Confidence

Identify your abilities and weaknesses together, accept them build on them and do the best with what you have.

2. Eat right, Keep fit

A balanced diet, exercise and rest can help you to reduce stress and enjoy life.

3. Make Time for Family and Friends

These relationships need to be nurtured; if taken for granted they will not be there to share life's joys and sorrows.

4. Give and Accept Support

Friends and family relationships thrive when they are "put to the test".

5. Create a Meaningful Budget

Financial problems cause stress. Over-spending on our "wants" instead of our "needs" is often the culprit.

6. Volunteer

Being involved in community gives a sense of purpose and satisfaction that paid work cannot.

7. Manage Stress

We all have stressors in our lives but learning how to deal with them when they threaten to overwhelm us will maintain our mental health.
