Porn star decides to quit after getting 12 hour erection from a drug

The porn industry is worth billions with people of all ages and across the world having unrestricted access to pornographic videos thanks to the internet. But there’s also a flipside to this as people watching porn as well as people featuring in the videos might face adverse effects from it.

The impact of porn and ways to enhance performance in videos is visible in the story of a pornstar who decided to leave after a drug gave him a 12 hour erection. He finally decided to quit his porn career after he landed up in a hospital after taking too much of the drug.

Christopher Zeischegg, known by his alias Danny Wylde said that he got addicted to erection drugs and on one occasion got an erection for hours after injecting 80 mg of Cialis, four times beyond the safe dosage. It got so bad that doctors had to make an incision and drain out blood to finally stop it from stiffening further.

But when Christopher was unable to leave the drug that he used for video shoots and also in his personal life, he landed up in a hospital as doctors told him that he might get impotence from scar tissues if he won’t stop. Christopher didn’t want to let down his partners as he had developed an idea about himself from performance in porn videos.

Although he quit porn, leaving the drug took several months. This horrifying story only highlights the dark side of porn and the unrealistic expectations affecting not only sex lives of viewers but also that of actors.
