Porn VS Real: What You Didn’t Learn In Health Class [Ask Dr. Miro]

Dear Dr. Miro,

Is it true that watching porn will desensitize me to real sex?

Sincerely,

Dear SN,

Do you feel romantic comedies affect your expectations towards actual, intimate relationships? It is the same idea in that Adult Entertainment can be great to experience both by yourself or with company but keep in mind, it is not how “real” life sexuality works. Not even porn stars have “Porn Star Sex” when away from the camera. If you are watching X-Rated movies as help to get you over that edge, what is the problem? I see it as visual and auditory lubricant – and most people need lube at least once in a while!

Lust & Happiness,

Dr. Miro
