Table 2 of Frequency of Pornography Use and Sexual Health Outcomes in Sweden: Analysis of a National Probability Survey reveals survey results for men who use porn ≤ 3 times per week.
Some of these survey results are deeply concerning. Sadly, the abstract of the paper downplays the ill effects of porn – especially for the 2 youngest cohorts of men, in which 30-40+% of men are at risk for such problems. How bad do results have to get before the healthcare profession stops whitewashing evidence of this health crisis?
