And no he does not masturbate to the image. I am pondering of either seeing a psych doc with him or his PCP. Apparently this has been going on for the past 2 years.

    “Lemmy, my brother, for the last two years, has just said he’s tired and wandered off for EVERY single family porn might. He’s not even masturbating with us. What do you think is wrong?”

    As others already alluded to, sounds like a blood pressure thing. Either way, he should get himself checked out soon, this does not sound normal

    Possibilities:

    • Troll post
    • Trauma response
    • Faking it
    • Strict religious or other upbringing that makes it feel evil/stressful
    • Severe POIS (post orgasmic illness syndrome, but can also occur when getting aroused)
    • POTS or similar cardiovascular health condition
    • Other psychological condition

    There could be a blood pressure issue going on when he is aroused. He should see his PCP about it and go from there.

    Other responses so far are valid but as someone who has known people with this kinda reaction to sex stuff, they had cptsd from sexual assault as a child. It triggered them. Things from childhood can pop up later in life. Or maybe a recent experience could have.

    Or it could just be blood pressure. Idk. But wanted to give you my experience and knowledge.

    I’d be inclined to agree with what folks have said here. But the potential trauma and potential blood pressure issue.

    Only chiming in to say a friend of mine, who has a slew of other medical issues, has passed out from erections and sexual arousal. And once passed out from bottoming, so it’s not some wild strange theory. It does happen.

      This was my immediate thought.

      *this is not a medical diagnosis and the person posting this recommends seeking the opinion of a medical professional.

      “Hey bro,let’s watch porn together. Nothing wrong with that, right. Wait, where are you going? There must be something medically wrong with him. I should ask Lemmy.”

    I take it he would like to watch porn but can’t? Then yes, that’s a problem and he should see his primary care doc first. It’s a quality of life issue.

          Hey, thanks!

          Sort of a hodgepodge. Hinduism (advaita Vedanta, kashmiri Shaivism mainly), some Buddhism as well, and an Episcopalian. Haha. Mostly I’m a nondualist who really, really likes philosophy. I picked the username years ago when I was just beginning to explore eastern philosophy, and it was a pun/play on the term bi curious.
