Gabe started with porn at 12. By the time he was 22, he couldn’t get it up [become aroused], even for a girl he was really attracted to.
That’s called Erectile Dysfunction, or ED, and it used to be pretty rare. For decades only about 3% of men under 40 had it. But from 2010 on rates skyrocketed – now they are up around 35%. There’s a reason for that steep increase.

Since 2006 it has become very easy to stream free video porn online and access even hardcore stuff with a few clicks. Effects took a while to show up, but basically the data says more hardcore porn and fewer hard-ons are connected.

That’s why governments need to step in and require age verification for online porn, just as with alcohol, cigarettes and gambling. When you turn 18, you can make your own decisions. And you’ll have a better chance of enjoying actual real sex with a partner.
Until then, skip the porn – save your boner [erection].
