Too lazy to find the article and read the whole thing…. Anyone else care to check if they controlled for time spent viewing porn online? I wonder if that’s a lurking variable here
Or controlled for standing desks
My standing desk kicked my butt yesterday.
Like freakin 6 hours standing
So, more porn helps, or no? Whole thing seems like clickbait...
Or controlled for anything else, like exercise, eating habits, etc?
My guess is, at a minimum, computer time has an inverse relationship to exercise. And that's bad for everything.
Oh well. Not like I'm getting laid ever
Same, I work in IT, guess I'm fucked, and not in the good way
I met my now wife in uni. Quite lucky because I also work in IT and the only women I interact with are her friends...
BUT THATS WHERE THE PORN LIVES :(
don't forget the increased one hand surfing skill
The authors wrote: “Although the specific mechanism of erectile dysfunction caused by computer use has not been clarified in the present study, the damage of sedentary behaviour to erectile function appears to be clear, which needs to attract public attention.
The study also says that for every 1.2 hours spent using the computer the chances of experiencing ED increase by 3.57. I'm starting to formulate a theory as to the mechanism of ED caused by computer use. Stick with me here. The longer men sit in front of a computer the greater the chances they view porn and "bust a nut" (I believe that's the technical term) thus increasing the perception that they are suffering from ED because as we all know, when you ask someone if they watch porn on their computer the answer is almost always "no".
I am not a scientist or formally educated and suffer from lower levels of follicle-stimulating hormones. The edits were to fix spelling errors. Probably some still lingering around.
Good thing I only use my phone 24/7
anime glasses thing
According to this, I an 178.5x more likely than the general population to suffer ED.
The lowest number I found for the prevalence of ED is 3%. This means that there is a 503.55% chance I have ED.
We definitely need to have a conversation about increasingly sedentary lifestyles and their health impact, but this is some bullshit.
Can ED be that you never go soft? 🤔
TV, video games, and other sedentary activities are correlated as well (though the effect might be amplified by the use of computers for activities that might induce stress or anxiety). I think the key takeaway might be less “avoid computers” and more “don’t sit for too long.” But that’s none of my business.
