Is porn ruining real sex for men?

Is too much porn detrimental to your love life? A provocative article in the latest edition of New York magazine suggests that it is, citing a University of Kansas study in which 25 percent of college-age men said they'd faked orgasms.

"Porn is not only shaping men's physical and emotional interest in sex on a very fundamental neurological level, but it's also having a series of unexpected ripple effects — namely on women," writes Davy Rothbart in the New York piece. "For a lot of guys, switching gears from porn's fireworks and whiz-bangs to the comparatively mundane calm of ordinary sex is like leaving halfway through an Imax 3-D movie to check out a flipbook."

But Time magazine said science doesn't support Rothbart's thesis. Men's bond with porn is nothing new; these performance problems arise -- or don't --  because opportunities to satisfy the lust for variety have never been more available, according to neuroscience journalist Maia Szalavitz.
