Join the challenge! Porn detox!

I totally would not be surprised if pheromone production was negatively effected by excessive porn watching. I also think a lot of communication (many say over 90%) is non-verbal, and unconscious. So ya, they probably can detect it. They definitely can detect the hunger in your eyes when you look at them after not porning for a while. Cutting out all porn turns your attention to real live women and helps you stop thinking of them as sex objects to stroke to. Makes all the difference.

Feeling shitty and depressed last night. Really wanted to fire up some porn so I could escape those feelings. Did not do it.

Earlier that night I was surfing the net and entered something in the url field that caused my browser to think I wanted to go to a porn site. I had forgotten to clear my cache. Suddenly there was this crystal clear close-up of a really beautiful pussy filling the screen. I sent it away in a second. Maybe that is one of the reasons I was so susceptible when I started feeling bad.

I am remembering my last porn detox. The first three or four days, my libido totally crashed and I couldn’t get anything resembling a hard-on. By day 11, I was posting here about how my imagination had taken off and how great my EQ was. I’m keeping that in mind.

I do need to still cancel my site membership. I need to dig around, if there is a way to do it without having to go to the website that would be great. I am thinking that I have an email from when I joined with a link to the customer service site, which is separate site all together.

Is it just my mind playing tricks with me ? lol
After watching the videos about the brain + porn influence I thought that it may make sense to wank to only one pornstar.

The most impact have these damn compilations with many scenes. girl after girl.
I watched them reguarly and I couldnt get one up with a striptease video.

I think watching less(zero) porn and having a sensitive dick/nerve/muscle connection is a good goal.
focusing on the feelings and not blowing through masturbation more then 1 time a week is my goal.
I wanked since yesterday several times just for the sensations and while I couldnt get a very hard one yesterday I today had most the times 100% erections.
I didnt come and my dick feels heavy :D

@Kool.
I think its no coincidence that a pussy pops up lol. I didnt want to visit any porn but my mind was wandering about similiar themes that ended up in porn toughts.

I’ve stopped watching porn since the beginning of February, the problem is that my dick is so sensitive now when I get an erection, I’m afraid that I won’t last 10 seconds when having actual intercourse. How can I fix this problem?

There’s an easy fix for this: don’t worry.

And less than a month is not long enough to start seeing most of the benefits of quitting so just be patient.

try edging and play around with the PONR.

develope stronger kegel muscle through reverse kegels and rubberband kegels(or weighted kegels)

other challenge: train to get an erection for a second round.

Dickerschwanz: the idea of training to get a second erection is intriguing to me. How do you do that?

Day 6! No temptation really. Partly because I have been busy as hell. Dead libido, dead dick. Had tons of night wood last night so my dick really is still alive. Yea!

I’ve also decided to embark on another sex self-improvement project. And that is to stop jerking off with my hands. I think I may have “desensitized” my dick to more subtle stimulation. With rough jacking off/gripping too hard.

I have also gotten really routinized with my jacking off. Associated with the lower EQ from too much porn viewing. I am down to ONE STROKE that I use to get hard. Nothing else seems effective.

So it is high time to retrain my dick.

This “dick doesn’t respond to subtle stimulation” happened to me before and I cured it by only masturbating with a fleshlight. 2004 I think? People on fleshlight forum were talking about “grip of death” masturbation syndrome and how using the fleshlight helped break the habit and bring back the lost sensation.

So I got that wonderwave fleshlight. It has these thick ridges all the way down the channel that are designed to tweak your corona. The first few times I used it, I could not feel a damn thing! After a while of using it, I could feel every damn one of those ridges.

So that’s the other project.

Another thing that is good about it is I could never manage to watch porn at the same time as using the fleshlight. I would always blow a load too fast if I had the stimulation of both pron and fleshlight. So fleshlight has always been a pornless activity for me.

Follow up on that last post. Libido came back a few hours later, went with the wonderwave fleshlight and my imagination. As I suspected I did not feel the texture. Good news, did not need “the stroke” - just some vague light pressure stroking at base of cock + imagination was good enough to get me hard enough to use the fleshlight.

All in all great porn free masturbation session. No desire to look at porno. Not then, not now.

Don’t use imagination/fanatasy as it is almost the same as porn. for more read here: Your Brain On Porn -

Thanks for the tip. I really appreciate you taking time to post it.

To be honest I don’t know how imagination I was actually using. Hope this is not Too Much Information

I thought about the two times I have masturbated, it was really more like this:

A little fantasy while I stroked up a semi. Then semi into fleshlight. Then after that, sensations of the fleshlight felt so good I think I pretty much focused only on how good it felt.

I will check out the link you gave me. I vaguely remember some of the site. Don’t they suggest NO SEX and NO MASTURBATION too? The last time I did the porn detox, I decided that was a too much to give up. I did do pretty good with the detox, made it for a couple months and it was great. I fell off the wagon because I started feeling sorry for myself over the way some things were going in my life. That I think is really the thing I have to guard against.

What I remember from last time was something like this. I thought the danger of imagination was in using it to recreate porn clips you have seen. In other words, fantasizing about PORNO. That way you are basically not changing anything. So I avoided fantasizing about pron. I fantasized about real hot sex that I had in the past, mostly with my wife. To me it seemed pretty healthy, it got me out of crazy porno land and back into the real world. Yes it was fantasy, but it centered on me and a person I loved, rather than Some Guy and Some Woman who are having sex for the camera.

Does that make any sense?

I did go the no fantasy route today. Just focused on sensation. Worked pretty well. DAY 11 :jumpblue:

Sorry I didn’t notice the link was already posted, a MOD can feel free to delete both these posts

No worries, the repetition made me visit the site again.

I did masturbate again today - but again, no fantasy, just the sensations.

Today is day 12. No porn cravings. Dick is still somewhat dead, I am not getting very good erections. Scares me a little, but I just try to remember that I had been having pretty decent night wood. So everything does seem to still work.
