Join the challenge! Porn detox!

Jelqing straight down with an overhand grip is a nice way to PE with a low erection level. Best advice I got for you is to just keep avoiding porn until mental imagery and touch turns you on again. Good luck!

Taking porn out of the loop eventually turns on your brain again. Remember getting hard watching a girl walk by? That’s called imagination - it works, but only if you use it. Porn shuts that off.

My record was when I was 19 I went cold turkey for 10 months without any sex, porn, masturbation and sexual thoughts since that time the longest I last without all that is a month or 2 I don’t know how I ever lasted 10 months

I’m joining this challenge as well!

I’ve lurked on this site for years, reading articles and posts here and there.. Think I found thunders place when I was 16 or 17 but I never started PEing consistently until just last week! It’d be a once a month thing in all honesty just never stuck with it. I read through most of the posts in this thread and I need to take a real long break from porn. I’ve had internet + computer in my own bedroom since 15 and I’ve watched porn very regularly, almost daily with many whack-a-thons if I was home alone bored. It’s hard to admit any adverse effects I’ve caused myself, but I have noticed that I am irritable pretty easily at times (mostly the immediate hours after browsing), don’t find real life attractive women as sexy including my girlfriend at times, and want to give a legitimate effort towards PE/Edging.

Consider this my day 0. All my collection is being deleted so there is no temptation easily available.

HA! First post after almost 7 years :D

:up: Ivoryblade
welcome back and good for you, pron is a real time waster and as you have stated you lose your drive for the real thing. Just stick to your guns this time. B-)

I’m in.

This is day 11, by the way.

First week was easy, had company staying with me. No time for porno.

Once that was done, it was still easy.

Surprised at how DEAD my libido was after a few days. Dick dead too. Libido came back with a big bang the last couple of days. Have no need for porn though.

From what you are all writing, sounds like there will be more ups and downs of the libido like that for a while.

It is difficult for me to think of being totally pornless. (although I am planning on at least 2 to 3 months)

Instead my goal is to be more like the olden days before the internet. And to be quite honest, before my days at thundersplace. I started watching way more porn when I started doing PE. Is that the fault of thundersplace? No of course not. But I got into a rut of putting on porn everytime I did PE.

In the olden days, I probably looked at porn every two or three month or so. Or at most once or twice a month. For the most part I jerked off to my fantasies, with an intense focus on my own sensation. The porn was a fun treat now and again.

So that is where I would like to be again. If I get there, and then find myself slipping back into old habits, I will readjust my goal.

To me the main problem with excessive porn is that you are focusing on the pleasure of others (the porno actor/actress) and not on your own pleasure. The best example of that is timing your orgasm to coincide with the money shot. Rather than cumming based on your own arousal. Like I say I think this is OK now and again to jerk off to porn. Just like it is fun to ride a roller coaster now and again.

But the habitual thing is not good. You end up being desensitized to your own pleasure. JMHO

Last week I bought a latex catsuit from sexiw.com,and this week arrived.After try-on,the whole feeling is very good.Iike it very much.

I don’t need porn when I have a sexy wife who gives me the real thing.

???

Excellent! And I have to say, my imagination has has absolutely exploded the last couple days. Wide screen, HI-DEF. It is really amazing.

Good effort guys… moderation is key.

Hi all,

I’ve decided to join in on the porn detox challenge. I have many reasons but basically I would like to change and become an improved person. Does detoxing mean no porn, not even once a month?. Fill me in on the protocol here guys. Thanks!

Hi there modestman, how long you want to go without porn is definitely up to you. It all depends on yourself, how important to your life is staying away from porn? Do you spend hours long on wank sessions viewing video after video? Do you struggle to get up when your with a real person? Do you no longer feel a stirring in your loins when a hot woman walks by? Is your imagination not enough of a stimulation for you to become erect? Do you just want to open up more free time in your life? A lot of this depends on your analysis of yourself and the situation you find yourself in. Normally I would say it takes about two months with no porn to see significant changes, but that is only the start!

For more information Your Brain On Porn - is a great website. Lots of information there.

Ditto on PG’s comments, for guys like me with week will power just have to go cold turkey for as long as I can.

3 months in. Temptation has been high lately. Haven’t been fucking so that’s probably why. Biggest motivating factor for me is that I’ve gone this long, I might as well try for a year. Plus, if I were to stop and give in, the porn would hardly be satisfying enough to make it worth it. I also tend to think that I have better luck with women when I don’t look at porn, so I’d like to stay away and see where it takes me now that the FWB are out of my life.
