No More Porn For Me

Today was day 3 of attempt no.2. So far so good.

Paulski,

May I ask how old you are?

I am so glad I found this thread, I have been addicted to porn for years, being married to a woman with little to no sex drive probably contributed to it, but I have just met a really hot woman, and our first time together was a complete disaster, luckily she is very understanding and really hot, and her oral skills were unbelievable, and she is really hot, so it wasn’t quite the disaster it could have been. But all the same, she was so hot that I shouldn’t have had any problems at all, but I could barely get it up, so count me in in the “no porn” club. Starting today…er yesterday.

I’m 28.

Porn addict here as well. Going on 25 years. Man what a waste when you think about it. But I can’t deny I am and have been addicted for a long time now. Caused so many problems with my last marriage.

I want to quit but like smoking I always get the craving to watch just a little here, a little there, which some times turns to hours! Especially with PE. How many peeps in here actually stay away from porn and still continue to do and have good PE sessions? I guess with hanging and ads it’s no big deal, but what about jelqs/clamping and pumping? I know my libido is no where near when I was 20 (37 now), I mean I still get it up no prob with the ladies (unless I over do the PE thing), but for pumping or jelqing/clamping I need a little help (viagra/porn), otherwise the session doesn’t feel as productive.

LOL you managed to call her hot 4 times, she must be really hot :)

Part of why I could never get manual PE to work for me. My wang will stay hard for hours and hours if I ask it to. But it only really has two settings, soft and hard. I had a very difficult time with staying 60% engorged for jelqing.

Hey guys, keep up the good work on staying away from porn. Abstinence, rationing, whatever works for you.

Ya, and did I mention she was really hot…….

In my porn days I have been with smoking girls and not been able to get it up. Compared to post porn days and I’ve been with average to cute girls and BOING!!! It’s good that you can admit to your addiction. That’s really the first step. It’s easy to kid yourself that everybody does it and it’s normal, while you’re there smashing your penis to porn 5 hours a day. :-P Google around and you’ll find more and more guys reporting in forums on similar effects to porn abuse. Good luck.

30 days porn free! There are clearly visible effects: I can now appreciate women which I wouldn’t thought to find attractive before.

I know what you mean bro. It’s a bit like waking up from the matrix. :-) Champion effort! Keep it up!

Jesus, I can always seem to give it up until something gets in the way. I fall behind at school …. porn. Get sick, sitting around at home, nothing to do …. porn. I tell myself I’ll just have a look for a second to see if there’s anything new. 7 hours later my dick is raw, I feel like shit & I’m wondering what how the hell did that just happen.

Starting again …. now.

Hey guys - I’m in a similar boat here. 26 years old - been trying to curb / quit the porn for a couple of years now but with varying degrees of success. I went about 3 months without porn and was enjoying some of the best sex in my life. Part of the success, I attributed to having a steady access of hot whores / strippers during a period where I was traveling. A couple of weeks ago I had the misfortune of getting some access to porn and broke my streak. Now I’m back and trying to reach the 3 month mark.

For me personally, even general non-porn masturbation is an ingredient to the problem. Usually when I cut out the porn, I end up masturbating to just regular stuff - youtube hotties, swimsuit, my own mental thoughts. After a few times of regular masturbation, it gets old real fast. And then thats when the craving for porn comes in the strongest. Masturbation and porn are 2 sides of the same coin and when I remove the porn, if I am still masturbating frequently, it eventually leads me to crave the porn harder. For me, I believe success in giving up porn is closely tied to just generally changing the way I get off - mainly replacing my hand with a live pussy or a mouth. It’s important to change the external stimuli that get me off.

Towards the end of my 3 month mark, I noticed that I was no longer craving porn as much as I was an actual female. My horny thoughts involved plowing some girl rather than watching some porn. So the good news is that it’s definitely possible and pretty awesome once you get there. The bad news is it does take some will-power. I have to get used to getting horny and remaining horny instead of the instant release of my hand.

Keep you posted.

^Good post & I agree 100%

I’m at the point where porn doesn’t really do it for me anymore. I mean I got to the end with porn. Bukkake, anal creampie, I mean what’s beyond that? Eating poop?
So I got into even stranger stuff, but not really porn, but hot models smoking cigars, LOL.

I’d love to take a break from it. I’m banging 2 ladies now, about 10x a week and I still am cranking them out left and right to porn. But the bedroom is suffering. I’m at the point where I can hardly orgasm from sex. I put up a separate post about this. Think it’s from the porn?
