The honesty of those involved is questionable, but the results of an Italian study titled “Relationship Between Use of Videogames and Sexual Health in Adult Males” suggests that gamers are less likely to suffer from premature ejaculation. Sadly, the results also indicate that gamers have a lower sex drive. The idea seems to be that video games are rewiring the reward systems of people’s brains.

Italian scientists recently found a correlation between sexual prowess in the bedroom, and pwning no0bs in Battlefield. The study, published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, details a link between gaming and lower levels of premature ejaculation. It’s not all fun and games, though. Sansone and his colleagues might have buried the lede ever so slightly by also reporting lower levels of sexual desire, on average, than non-gamers. The link makes sense, explained the researchers, as video games could reduce premature ejaculation by rewiring the brain’s reward system.
 
I question if it's the GAMES or that gamers have a lotta spare time in front of their computers to rewire their brains.

That's what I was wondering as well. I don't know that they've done a control group without porn access.
 
These Italian Scientists have WAY too much time on their hands! Don't know if they are smoking too much herb or not enough.
 
The answer is obvious.... Gamers are incredibly competitive. They want to be the best. They may not be the best in bed, but they will damn sure try to beat their previous record for lasting longer.

It's really just an internal competition with yourself.
 
Sounds like they did not account for the fact that for every hour of game play there are an additional 10 minutes of pron watching.

As a long time gamer I will say that too much gaming does tend to have a negative impact on overall physical health as I'm sure most of you would at least begrudgingly acknowledge.

Now a few years back I took up road cycling (bicycle) and got a job at a place with a wellness nurse / program that was pretty eye opening with cholesterol, blood pressure, weight, etc screening which made me think more about exercise and what I eat.

Long story short, I'm 36, just a shade over 6'1", went from 215 to 165, and the difference was amazing. I didn't just lose 50 pounds, I lost more than that in fat and gained muscle. Everything was better, including general mood, overall energy level, increased desire, and performance.


Let this be a lesson to you, my [H] brothers! You can make real changes in your life that will have a big impact on every aspect of your life. It is good to get off your ass and get some exercise and maybe cut back on the Mt. Dew, Doritos, and Big Macs.
 
Lower sex drive... perhaps a lot of these respondents where simply not all that truthful about the time spent at their computers performing non game related self gratifying activities. It is possible they are being truthful about their resilient bed room nature, I mean all that backside sitting could well be killing nerve. :) lol
 
Association here: gamers get less exercise, more gamers are overweight, fat stores testosterone, which lowers libido and having a fat belly pushes on your prostate, which makes it harder to get it up, but makes you last longer (just guessing the last).
 
It's a matter of digital dexterity.

And we last longer because when one knows how to work one's digits and one's joystick on her hardware; she'll always get there first, repeatedly.

The piss-poor sex drive is simply because gamers also give themselves mind-blowing orgasms. Why bother with sex when the best endorphin release one can get is... right at hand. :D
 
Definitely calling shenanigans here. What happens if you dont have sex/jerk off for a week? You last about 30 seconds and blow the biggest load of your life. There is no reason to believe a lack of sex-drive would result in greater stamina, the opposite should be true. Lack of sex reduces stamina. In fact many guys can have sex twice in a row by cumming first and then maintaining an erection and just continuing to go at it all night once the first bout is out of their system. Definitely some 40 yr old virgins in this study looking to dismiss their sexual inactivity as choice but all the while boasting about how good they might be.
 
We don't have lower sex drives, sometimes we are just in the middle of an online game and there's no pause. This is very confusing to girls.

"babe, you can seduce me but AFTER we C4 the objective, I'm top of the leaderboard right now and my friends are depending on me."

Did you exercise daily and how much did you exercise each week? I'm in my mid thirties now and feeling the reverse effects as I was extremely active and muscular in my twenties. I don't have as much time as I did then to exercise and I'm wondering how difficult the road will be ahead.

I'm at odds with this study, I have high sex drive and can last as long as needed in bed and I've been a gamer since I was 3 years old.
