All Sunny Leone fans better watch out! A new sex study explains that watching hard-core erotic films can reduce blood flow to the visual cortex of healthy heterosexual women resulting in blurring their eyesight.

So, does that mean watching porn can make you go blind? Dr. Gert Holstege, Uroneurologist, University of Groningen Medical Centre in the Netherlands says according to the results sexual arousal takes precedence over anxiety in a woman’s eyes when watching porn films.

The report adds that as part of a research, a dozen participants all on hormonal birth control were showed three movies– a documentary on Caribbean marine life, a soft-core porn flick and a hard-core one.
