Understanding the Physiology of an Erection
Exploring the anatomy and physiology of the penis during an erection, from the role of spongy bodies to the brain's signal for neurotransmitter release.
In this video, Dr. Rena Malik, MD tackles the provocative question of whether pornography usage contributes to erectile dysfunction (ED). In a concise exploration, she sorts through various studies to reveal that while direct causation may not be firmly established, certain psychological factors linked with pornography use—such as anxiety, stress, and moral incongruence—could increase the risk of Erectile Dysfunction (ED). Dr. Rena Malik offers a nuanced perspective that will enlighten listeners on this complex issue, further enriching their understanding of sexual health.
