Does Pornography Desensitize?

I hate how people talk about men having a lower libido like it is a bad thing. The whole anti-porn movement is about jealousy.

From dailymail.co.uk, a well know "scientific" publication (LOL):

The report, called 'Porn-Induced Sexual Dysfunction is a Growing Problem', explains that the loss of libido 30 years early is caused by continuous over-stimulation of dopamine, the neurotransmitter that activates the body's reaction to sexual pleasure, by repeatedly viewing pornography on the internet.

A 'paradoxical effect' is created whereby with each new thrill, or 'dopamine spike', the brain loses its ability to respond to dopamine signals, meaning that porn-users demand increasingly extreme experiences to become sexually aroused.

What a coincidence! Half the world is being prescribed SSRIs, which have exactly the same erectile dysfunction side effect, among others.

Of course these are not the only reasons why people -specially young ones- may have sexual dysfunctions. There could at least be one thousand reasons more.

I know that "report", it's nothing but a useless hypothesis. Nonetheless the researchers usually get paid or receive some other benefit from published works.

The report comes just a week after David Cameron announced new measures to encourage internet providers to block access to pornography in an attempt to protect children from its harmful effects.

What a coincidence again! In case you don't know, EU has been working hard to pursue Internet users ("those motherfuckers and the Freedom of Speech are really annoying for governments"), and finally they've found the key excuse: Pornography and specially Child pornography.

What's weird of all this is that you report MySpace accounts that are asking for pictures of nude child in a not so discreet way... and authorities do nothing.

If I can’t get a hot, nubile 18 year old into bed, jerking off to 18 year olds in porn is the next best thing for me.

This is so sad. If I ever become this I will put a gun in my mouth and blow my brain outs. I enjoy sex as much—if not more—than the average guy but people are more than semen repositories. What about companionship and having someone to depend on?

This guy's basically saying that he'd rather remain alone and unloved if he can't get a pair of perky tits. It's like there's something missing in his heart; he's a walking, talking, breathing man-shaped hole.
