Debunking the “Men’s Health” article by Gavin Evans: “Can Watching Too Much Porn Give You Erectile Dysfunction?” (2018)

Introduction Unfortunately YBOP must thoroughly debunk yet another Men’s Health propaganda piece denying porn-induced sexual dysfunctions. The current article mirrors another misleading article YBOP debunked just a few months ago: Debunking “Should you be worried about porn-induced erectile dysfunction?” – by The Daily Dot’s Claire Downs. (2018). Before I address specific assertions, here are the […]

I don’t want to sound like I’m comparing straight up heroin to porn: I’m a former heroin addict and PMO was harder to quit for me.

I used heroin for like 2 years and currently have 6 months clean. Obviously heroin had much more of a negative impact on my life and mental/physical health, but I’m talking purely from an addiction standpoint. We’re surrounded by artificial stimulation everywhere and everyday in our lives. It was a lot tougher to rewire my […]

Age 34 – I’ve been porn free for over a year. Yes, there are superpowers, but I have some news for you: You’re journey does NOT end with dropping P

Research Suggests the Grubbs, Perry, Wilt, Reid Review is Disingenuous (“Pornography Problems Due to Moral Incongruence: An Integrative Model with a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis”, 2018)

The authors of this so-called review would have readers believe that self-identification as a porn addict is a function of religious shame/moral disapproval about porn. They only reviewed a small number of studies, which rely on the CPUI-9, an instrument developed by co-author Grubbs that produces skewed findings. The co-authors carefully omitted or misrepresented opposing […]

Religious People Use Less Porn and Are No More Likely to Believe They Are Addicted

Have you heard these claims a lot recently? Or perhaps even believed they are true? Religious populations have higher rates of porn use than their secular brethren, and lie about it. Religious porn users are not really addicted to porn; they only believe they are addicted because they are ashamed. Believing in porn addiction is […]

Propagandists misrepresent peer-reviewed papers and ICD-11 search features to fuel false claim that WHO’s ICD-11 “rejected porn addiction and sex addiction”

The deniers of porn addiction are agitated because the latest version of the World Health Organization’s medical diagnostic manual, The International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11), contains a new diagnosis suitable for diagnosing both porn addiction and sex addiction. It’s called “Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder.” For a responsible article, quoting WHO’s official spokesperson, Christian Lindmeier, the […]

I’m solidly homosexual. Years of too much PMO and I started to get interested in seeing straight porn. 1 year no porn = no interest in women

It’s porn yo. I’m solidly homosexual, and as one commenter on here noted, I just always knew. When all the other boys starting talking about girls, I was clueless about them and was only noticing my boy friends in different ways. It’s hard wired, at least for me. But here’s the crazy ish. Years and […]
