Can watching porn make you better in bed?
Posted on March 20, 2015

Several media write about a study conducted by Jim Pfaus, professor in the Department of Psychology, and Nicole Prause, an associate research scientist in UCLA's Department of Psychiatry, that debunks clinical claims and observations that the more erotica men watch, the likelier they are to experience erectile problems. The study's authors conclude that viewing sexual films may even help sexual arousal.

Reports about the study were carried by the Montreal Gazette, the Los Angeles Times, Health News Network, Deccan Chronicle, Business Standard, Yahoo, Le Journal de Montréal, Le Journal de Québec, Canoe, TVA, Huffington Post, The Hamilton Spectator, The New Indian Express, You Beauty, Ask Men, Chennaionline, Vancouver Desi, AVN, Mirror.co.uk, National Post, Cosmopolitan, Canada Journal, philly.com, Hindustan Times, Times of India, Malaysian Digest, Newser, Before It's News, reason.com, Radio Alice, Daily News, Pourquoi Docteur, The Independent, Health Aim, Complex, Bustle, pulse.ng, Times Live,  Longevity Live and Gizmodo.

Pfaus was also interviewed by CTV Montreal. He appears at the 50-second mark. The news piece is followed by a five-minute interview segment with Pfaus, on the same video link.
