You'll hear it from conservatives and nofap weirdos when anything related to sex or relationships comes up.

It really does mess with my head though and I’m neither of those things. Since I quit watching porn my sex drive is way higher and I do find it easier to get an erection.

It helps some people, hurts other people, there is no scientific backing for moderate porn viewing being negative in general.

>A 2014 article emphasizes that scientific research rarely discusses so-called “pornography addiction,” or its suggested role in ED. Yet the term is common on Internet forums and other non-clinical sources, and may even be used in treatment. This supposed link between erectile dysfunction and pornography has fueled a lucrative industry, despite there being little scientific evidence to support the link.

>Men who feel guilty about their use of pornography may struggle with ED due to this guilt. In this way, a belief that pornography is wrong or is linked to ED can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
