Is Pornography Undermining Intimacy and Population Growth?

Pornography does not directly cause biological infertility. However, excessive use can lead to sexual dysfunctions, erode emotional intimacy and shift people’s focus away from family life. These barriers to closeness and partnership may make it harder to conceive naturally.

Discussion and research also highlight how later marriages and increasing LGBTQ+ identification can influence birth rates. Addressing both emotional and behavioral aspects is key to supporting families.
