Quitting porn update

I haven’t watched porn since Friday night. So 6 days almost!. Last night I tried healthy masturbation the old fashioned way and it was tough because I am reliant on porn still. The first 4-5 days were easy as hell but last night I almost relapsed because it would be easier to get an orgasm using porn than my mind. I thought that if I wean off it it’d be better but I thought better of it and I’m happy I didn’t. It was very enticing last night to watch pornography. But I resisted! I think I had a dream I watched porn. But I already feel and feel I look healthier as well from stopping my addiction. I’m starting to glow more and an article I read said you will look better if you quit watching porn. Maybe it’s somewhat my imagination but very happy with results so far. It wasn’t like I was craving it that much but I couldn’t get an orgasm within 10 minutes with old fashioned masturbation so I thought of doing it out of frustration but alas I did not.

I like to maturbate …!!! Since i dont have girlfriend…!!! Its natural…!!!

Masturbation is fine but if ur addicted to porn it will hinder your chances of getting a girlfriend!! I thought last night I like porn more then the idea of having a girlfriend but that was just the addiction speaking I think. I want a girlfriend!

Also what is it about porn that makes you think you have an addiction at your age?

I don’t see it as unhealthy I just find it extremely awkward and hard to find the right time to do it

12 years of watching it 2xa day on average. I’m 27. Not all that young in this sense. There are many advantages of quitting porn!

Why dont you try to not have self sex at all for a while…go for a long while and try to do something different with this time you spend with yourself…as for me when I was smoking, I had a cigarette and this stoped my sexual cravings very much. Almost too much as I even had fewer times sex with my wife than normal in a month. When I smoked for a year may 2015 until may 2016 I almost never masturbated, maybe two or three times the entire year. I also did not use any pornography because what would have been the point if I dont maturbate. It was good for me and bad for me this year on cigarettes because they are a nasty addiction as well. I find that I only have the urge the masturbate when I feel alone and miserable. It has something to do with my childhood because I used to be alone and feeling unloved a lot. This feeling is a trigger for me…up to this day. I need to feel loved and in good spirit so I dont get such urges. I am very in danger when I had a fight with my wife and I am alone the next day in the house feeling bored and lonely. This is usually when I do it but unfortunately I can resist most times and also I can try to avoid the situation by doing something like going out and having a coffee or gong shopping something or spendning time on the forum or spending time playing a video game. Also I am not often alone in the house. Goyankees the best thing would be for you to meet women and try to get a gf for you to have more wholesome sex life, where you make love and epxress affection to a real woman of flesh and bones. I wish you good luck in that endeavor. You need to go out and meet people for that.

I have a girlfriend, and I watch porn about twice a week due to my sex drive is higher than my girlfriend’s sex drive. (She’s aware that I watch porn.)

If watching porn is interfering with your activities of daily living then I’d say it’s a problem. Also, porn desensitizes sexual stimulation. For example, when I first watched porn the first scene was exciting, but over time I’ve found myself going from scene to scene before I get excited. And that can cause a problem when you’re making love to your girlfriend.

Just my 2 cents.

I lasted 40 minutes last time. Couldn’t finish. I kept an erection but it’s not normal!! She had to get me off in other ways. And she was smoking hot. I think 2xa week is healthy but I’m not sure yet if I could do it in moderation.

Yeah, I’d say don’t watch it at least for awhile. It can be an addiction, no doubt.

maybe this is annecdotal evidence but my own experience is that masturbating damages your ability to have natural wholesome sex with women…and I am not alone with this experience…many doctors are describing that many men come to them with erectile disfunction even though they are quite healthy and still young even. If you spend years stimulating yourself with porn and self sex, you are very likely to not do good when it comes to the real thing. This may not be true for everybody but its true for many men. Even women who are used to stimulate themselfs with vibrators and porn and reach orgasm that way, will often find themselfs not able to be turned on or reach climax in natural sex with real life men. It has something to do with conditioning yourself to certain stimula and also there is a phenomenen that with porn and self sex, you need more and more stimulation over time in order to feel satisfaction. Thats why people progress into harder and harder porn and eventually look at very disturbing images to be able to reach the level of stimulation they need. Its not someting I made up, I read about this in some studies and publications from organisations. Also men who are used to watching hard porn are going to be disapointed that their real life partners wont perform sex like an actor in a porn video. Usually sex in a relationship is quite a bit different than sex in a porn video. Women dont like you to cum into their face or dont like many practices that are common in professional porn videos. Many men who are in the habit of watching porn for this reason will have a hard time enjoying normal sex in a relationship. In a relationship most women dont want to compete with fantasies and sex actors, they dont want their men to do porn and maturbate on the side. I can fully understand that because it makes them feel they are not enough and they dont perfom good enough. So there, masturbating is not healthy at all… its something for lonely men who dont have the real thing, like a loving relationship with a beautiful sexy woman that is enough for them.

I agree with you completely.

My only concern is that if a man doesn’t ejaculate for a long period of time he may experience an increase in aggression (testosterone).

I’m not sure about that.

Nope, that was your reason :slight_smile:

Sex=sweat, farts, foul smells, acting, duties, chances of getting pregnant… Basically a horror movie.
