zaneblue: Awesome prescription, as always.
themighty5: I started the "Porn and the death of my penis" thread because I suffered from your same pains. Porn was ruling my life and it killed my penis. Zaneblue’s prescription hit the nail on the head - you don’t want to give up masturbating completely, cause it’ll make your libido go down (at least that’s what I noticed). You do need to reduce the number of times per week - 2 to 3 times is a good number.
Also, quit the porn. Erase everything you have on your computer and don’t save ANY of it on dvds or cds. I haven’t been able to give up on porn completely myself, but I have come to realize that for me, porn has been an eight year addiction and cannot be cured overnight. I am taking steps in the right direction and do plan on giving it up completely. Some people will advocate that giving it up porn entirely is not what you need to do, but if you have an addictive personality, such as myself, then you’ll be caught up in the same backward spiral which will lead you to depression. If you’re able to allow yourself to look at porn only once a week and NOT ejaculate to it, then I think that’s fantastic. But, you MUST NOT masturbate and ejaculate to porn - get away from that habit.
I have not purchased a Fleshlight as of yet, but plan on ordering it soon and hope to start using it in the new year. I’m usually good at keeping New Year’s resolutions and I look forward to this one. As much as it hurts me to give up porn (trust me, I love it more than anything), I have come to realize that the health of my penis and feel of a real pussy are much better goals to strive for. I realized that porn was a road-block and I needed to avoid it at all costs. This reminds me of someone’s signature (I forget who, but I think they’re a mod): No point in having a big dick and doing PE if you’re not going to use it!
I encourage you to take zaneblue’s advice and not just skim, but read the above thread in its ENTIRETY. There are a lot of good posts and it certainly changed my life.
Good luck.
