MEN are spending so much time pleasuring themselves in front of internet porn that they are failing to learn how to please a lady.

That's the warning from psychologists who are worried about the dismal sexual performance of the male members of Generation Snowflake.

Dr Andrew Smiler, a "masculinity expert", claimed that up to one in ten young men are now suffering from erectile dysfunction caused by porn addiction.

Smiler's research is nothing to grin about, sketching a portrait of doomed young boys suffering the sort of penis problems normally associated with old men.

“The guys I see, most of them are between 13 and 25," he told The Independent.

"The vast majority are, for the most part, the picture of physical health."

These boys spend so many hours in front of porn that they find it difficult to perform in real life.

“In porn, sex always happens very easily, everybody has a great time and nobody ever refuses or says ‘i don’t want to do that’,” he added.

“But in reality, people aren’t always in the mood.

"Guys go in expecting it to all be easy and they don’t know what to do,”

He said there was nothing wrong with a little solitary bump and grind from time to time, but self-pleasuring becomes a problem when it takes place several times a day.

Dr Angela Gregory, a sex therapist at Nottingham University Hospital, added: “Men are becoming both physically and psychologically desensitised to normal sexual stimulation and arousal with a sexual partner.”

Porn junkies pay a heavy price for their addiction.

Young men may face performance anxiety after comparing their relatively puny penises to the gigantic appendages sported by porn stars.

They may also become hooked on extreme porn depicting acts that few women would be willing to endure, leaving them bored by the standard sex on offer with real life partners.

The problem is compounded by the omnipresence of online pornography, which means extreme content can be found free of charge in little more than a few clicks.

Our sex and relationship columnist Dr Pam Spurr said researchers have noticed a "huge increase in younger men who use porn regularly and can’t get an erection when with a partner".

She wrote: "They’ve become so used to masturbating to porn they find it hard to relate to a partner. Or because they’re used to the excitement of porn films they don’t get aroused by ‘ordinary’ sex.

"The fantasy sex in porn is what they expect now. They need all that fakery – the physically enhanced bodies, the fantasy scenarios, the XXX-rated kinky things some porn stars do.

"Traditionally erectile dysfunction (ED) has pretty much struck younger men due to excess alcohol – classic ‘brewer’s droop’ – or occasionally through nerves. Now it’s a different picture."
