Addicted to porn

Hi could someone please move this to the right place for me please.Sexual health or where it should be.

Basically I’m worried and know I’m addicted to porn. Iv always had a massive sex drive and been obsessed with women since a young age. Iv been watching porn since I was twelve after I found my uncles secret stash and then found the Internet then high speed broadband became available and I’m now hooked.I live with my girlfriend who doesn’t mind me downloading it but I’m worried it’s going to effect my erections in the future, by this I mean having to watch porn to get an erection? I moved house recently and was cut off from the Internet for 4 weeks due to the company messing things up so I didn’t have the Internet and all my movies vanished off my hard drive, so I find myself being aroused by the littlest things like reruns of Baywatch and documentaries of breast enlargement and so forth. I forgot what it was like to be like that where everything gives you a hard on. I’m only 24 but I am panicking because I don’t want to rely on porn.Sorry for the big rant but id like to know how other people have felt about this or what they’ve done or think there’s truth in what I’m saying?cheers guys.

I can say from experience that you can OD on porn so that your normal arousal mechanisms get off balance. Your reaction to those 4 weeks is similar to one I had a couple years ago. Then again, that may be the best thing that ever happened to your sex life. Because the mental and physical stimulation of porn is completely natural—no added chemicals, etc.—I’m quite certain that it is 100% reversible. However, I can also say that if you quit porn your reality sex life will get better. You will find it hard to keep yourself off your woman, and she’ll probably love all the new attention. Of course, that is MUCH easier said than done.

Welcome to TP - remember to write as readable as possible (use the return key, please).

And search for “porn addiction” and “detox”.

If you are anything like me, you are a hypersexual. I first discovered porn through the internet in the 3rd grade but didn’t discover masturbating until around 5th grade. When I was 16-17 I began a porn collection that ended at around over 300+gigs of videos and thousands upon thousands of hand picked porn photos of amateur and professionals. I would edge (masturbate w/o cumming) for an average of about 3-4 hours a day. I would masturbate so much that I would have to take a nap because the pains of blue balling it was too much. I would go weeks w/o having a real orgasm but I would have hundreds of dry orgasms which were so much more satisfying and from time to time be able to push cum that I had held in through a kegel. I took many aphrodisiacs based around elevating my libido and T.

I would hate to be looked at as a pervert but some people may see it this way. I definitely don’t have perverted thoughts about random women off the street, though I am easily attracted to women who are standards below what I’m capable of getting as a girlfriend. I just see the female body as people might see a painting or any art, its entertaining to the eye.

At times I feel like this is no big deal, but other times I feel like I must cut all ties w/ pornography. I’m kind of hesitant to write out this story since not many people know this about me, but hey this is a forum dedicated to penis enlargement so what do I have to lose?

Kimc, you may want to follow this advice or not, but I was addicted to porn and I found my solution in a book. Now my sex drive is stable, I can have delicious orgasms and sex life is better than ever….

Buy the book called “The Multi Orgasmic Man” by Mantak Chia.

(In no way am I promoting the sales of the book, just a piece of advice that worked FOR ME =).

Hypersexual, thats a good way to put it.

“Hi, my name is Fantom, and I’m a hypersexual.”

Wow, will88 , 300gb is a lot of porn although maybe if I’d started collecting it in 1980 Id have that much too. :)
Can you rip us all some CDs and share?? Just kidding. No seriously.I want that porn.

I think porn can be addictive and it could be considered an addiction when it interferes with your ability to function properly in any area of your life whether that is sexual or other.

David Duchovny is in rehab for sex addiction right now. That could include porn, as well as the incessant shagging of random women.

So I’d say to Kimc, that if you truly are concerned about your use or abuse of porn, talk to a therapist. But unless it interferes in your life, I don’t see the harm. If it makes you feel any better I think it’s totally normal to be “obsessed” with women. Guys think about sex, a lot. I can’t recall the last hour I spent not thinking about it at some point. Like even if you’re in some meeting at work, it might pop into the average guy’s head. If there’s some cute or halfway decent chick in the meeting, I bet most guys fantasize about fucking her on the conference table or in the copy room, or something along those lines. I know because I’ve had this conversation with some of my male friends, and all of them have said, yes, we do that. That happens. I’ll be out to lunch with some male friends and some chick with big tits walks by.at least one guy will watch. And at least one more will catch him looking and make some comment or just an expression that says “yep.I’d hit it too”.

Totally within the realm of normal. But quit whacking off to breast enlargement informercials, that’s just weird. :)

I to am addicted to porn. I agree that it’s totally normal. But it does interfere with my sex life. I find I tend to hold off cumming til the actor I’m watching cums. It’s a weird thing to admit to, but when having sex with a woman I sort of get lost without a porn actor as a guide. I have to will myself to cum, even though sex is very pleasurable for me. Anyone else experience this?

Iv been away for a few days without porn and my head was clearer, by clearer I mean I didn’t have the distraction of porn and I came home and deleted it all. What I’m going to do is stop downloading movies because I spend a allot of time doing it. Ill focus more time on exercising, p.e, art and music that I find myself neglecting because of porn! It really has effected my life in a bad way. Now I don’t think there is anything wrong with watching porn if you do it here and there but for me I’m one of those guys that it’s all or nothing so I need to go cold turkey or it won’t work for me.At the moment I’m ok but I know it will get harder, I sound like Junkie but I’m sure some of you will understand.

I agree with ssa5522 — The Multi-Orgasmic Man is a must read. Cheap at Amazon.com, etc

I might have a look yeah, Thing is that my sex life has always been great, My porn addiction dosent effect my sex life but rather my life in general. I don’t get things done because I’m collecting porn, it honestly feels like I need a fix when I’m I’m not doing it?

Damn dude. If I were you I would call up love line and try to talk with Dr. Drew and stryker. They always give good, straight forward advice on topics like this.

Eureka!!!!! I think I know why I’m only attracted to super hot females. OP, I suffer from this too, I a have to stop watching so much of this stuff.

HardbodyPEer,

It’s funny this came up I was going to mention this in “Wealthy men give women more orgasms”. I think pornography can definitely condition us men to be more critical of the female form. I just hope I haven’t permanently damaged my sexual attraction trigger. At the same time I don’t think my criteria will change that much. I’m big into fitness so I tend to like women that share that interest. What can I say I like em’ built for speed!

I agree, until I read this post though, I hadn’t even thought about this as possibly being an issue for me. Funny, I think I’m messed up, I go on Thunder’s and realize what my issue is (or so I think). I’m gonna quit this stuff cold turkey, we’ll see what happens. I’m also gonna cut back on masturbation, as I currently do that at least once a day.

I don’t know if I have ever been addicted to porn. Usually I would look at it between 5 to 15 times in a month. Not sure if that would make it an addiction or not. Either way I don’t think it is right, so I tend to resist looking at it as best as I can. It’s definitely a struggle for me though so I can relate.
