May not be the right place but here it goes. One of my brothers passes or get extremely tired if he sees porn. Even a sex scene in a movie he has to go lay down. Is there something wrong with him?

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 is the correct response. See a PCP.
  And then... Immediately report back what's actually happening because this is quite interesting.
  
  What the actual fuck is a PCP?
- A whole gallon of PCP.
  
  Huh. It comes in gallons?
- Check OP post history

Other responses so far are valid but as someone who has known people with this kinda reaction to sex stuff, they had cptsd from sexual assault as a child. It triggered them. Things from childhood can pop up later in life. Or maybe a recent experience could have.
Or it could just be blood pressure. Idk. But wanted to give you my experience and knowledge.
- No idea why this is downvoted. Seems like a helpful suggestion

Possibilities:
Troll post
Trauma response
Faking it
Strict religious or other upbringing that makes it feel evil/stressful
Severe POIS (post orgasmic illness syndrome, but can also occur when getting aroused)
POTS or similar cardiovascular health condition
Other psychological condition
- has a dick so utterly ginormous that even the slightest bit of arousal drains a sufficient amount of blood from his system to make him pass out
  
  I wrote that and removed it too 😂

Vasovagal syncope ? It can be triggered with extreme emotions.
- 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?"

Maybe he just doesn't want to watch porn with his brother?
- "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."
  
  Average Lemmy moment
- Not really that but as a sister we watched something and there was a sex scene and he was passed out even before it finishedl

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.

It is possible he is experiencing sensory overload and have undiagnosed narcolepsy.

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.

He might be a Baptist
- Congenital Baptistism. Terrible fate. There's hope for a cure with Crispr, though
  
  Like your username! Are you Buddhist?

He is smoking PCP? That's his trouble too much for the poor bastard.
- Primary Care Physician
  
  Oh this is like when I was on another sub and woman were talking about having E.D. so confused untill I learned it was eating disorder not erecticial dysfunction!
- Upvoted for fucking funny.
