🍆 ALWAYS BEING HARD 😓

Porn is also obsessed with the erection. The stars always seem to be hard before anything has even begun to happen, as if it would be taboo and horrifying to show a flaccid penis on-screen. When it comes to porn, if you’re not paying close attention, you might never come across the notion that a penis is ever anything but hard. 

But that’s almost the polar opposite of the truth, which is that penises are almost always flaccid, and erections naturally become less common, less stiff and less long-lasting as you age. 

This expectation is fed in part by the athletic performances of porn stars who seem to be able to keep their cocks hard on screen on command. The reality is that porn stars often have to stop filming to step away from the set and maintain their erection, as well as taking dick pills beforehand to stay hard. Through the magic of editing, the viewer is none the wiser. So we men hold ourselves to a standard that is not only unrealistic, but entirely mythical.
