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.

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

      This was my immediate thought.

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

    “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?”

      “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.”

    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

    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.

    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.
