No More Porn For Me

It does lead you down the path of least resistance.

Yeah, I think if your a straight guy and you start watching shemales in action, you know it’s time to find another hobby.

I’m sure that porn addiction is a way to develop a paraphilia. I’ve had many ‘what did I just fap to…’ moments, but you don’t care about anything when the dopamine kicks in. Your addiction keeps pushing you further and furtger, then suddenly, you’re a piquerist. I’ve seen an interview with Ted Bundy, he gave a pretty good explanation of this, iirc.

After you have put in hours and hours a week watching porn for over 10 years with high speed Internet your tastes change and you seek more just to get the same dopamine response similar to a drug addict. I remember when seeing a girl in a bathing suit was enough to get a rock hard erection. After a while seeing hardcover porn isn’t even enough to get hard anymore without physical stimulation. It gets deep.

You go through phases. I went through phases in porn genres.

1. Vanilla porn
2. Interracial porn
3. Older women porn
4. Lesbian porn
5. Anal sex porn
6. Shemale porn

That’s mostly how people progress with the addiction not in any particular order. But that’s how I progressed. Not something I’m proud of either. Once I blew my load it was always a feeling of what the hell am I doing?!

Same here. That momentary panic when you think “how did this turn me on?”. The infamous depraved porn spiral of doom (DPSOD). I’m back at the bathing suit phase (let’s call it BSP) again. I was reading up on the show Friends yesterday because I am watching the old seasons again, and came across a picture of Jennifer Aniston in a red bathing suit when they just started. It was a 3x5 cm picture in low resolution. The time to full erection (lets call that TTFE) was in my mind just over 3 milliseconds. Feels good man.

tl;dr: break the DPSOD, gain TTFE, enjoy BSP.

Do you remember how many months it took you to reboot? I’m about 3 days away from my first month of no porn. I had rebooted twice thinking that I could go back to watching porn only to end up with ED again both times. But this time for good. Somehow I had convinced myself that just searching Craigslist ads wasn’t a form of porn lol

Sed, it took me a while, but I came a long way in one month. Hearing this, I think you’re on the right track. I never suffered any form of ED, but it’s just a bit sad to realize that you need that much stimulation. I stopped porn on the same day I started PE: the first day of a long summer holiday. I was abroad, there was virtually no wifi and the beach was littered with gorgeous creatures in bikinis. Conditions were perfect. After a week I noticed that I had to start wearing underwear under my surf shorts, for obvious reasons. That’s a major factor that kept me ‘straight’.

When I feel the urge and my girlfriend’s not around, I make do with my fantasy - or very sometimes one of the lovely ladies on Instagram. I recognize what you mean with that last sentence: I had a period where I visited Hiddenlol (9gag but NSFW) and secretly hoped there would be something porn-related to look at. Damn brain.

I hope it works out for you!

Thanks! I’m sure it will this time. I even deleted instagram because there are so many hot pics of women on there even when I search bodybuilding related hastags.

Hello! May I know why you quit the porn industry in the end?

7 Weeks in update. I haven’t jacked off in about 3 to 4 weeks now. I’ve decided to give it up for a while because I think I only jacked off out of boredom and from the previous porn addiction. Instead I only have sex with the wife. The last time was a real eye opener. My dick stayed rigid the whole time in missionary. Usually in that position my dick would slowly deflate until it’s no longer erect but now anymore! She also made a comment on my stamina. I attitude that to cutting my kegel volume (which was already low) in half and doing more reverse kegels. Kegels give me PE if I don’t do reverse kegels along with it.

After sex it took my dick about 2 minutes to go down. I was so surprised at the amount of progress I’ve made. I pretty much get hard nocturnal erections every night now. I also have to add the fact that I have been squatting heavy in the gym near my 5 rep max and this used to be an absolute libido killer for me. Now it doesn’t negatively affect my libido and erections. If anything it may actually be helping now which is weird because in the past sex would be the last thing on my mind after squatting heavy. It used to increase my blood pressure the days after the session. I guess there is some kind of relationship that dopamine has on blood pressure somewhere down the line.

That’s excellent news mate, keep it up!

Another believer. Join the cult, mate! I promise we won’t sacrifice you to our blood god, Nulfappia. It’s amazing how porn numbs your mind to more normal sensations, making sex less pleasurable. You didn’t mention it explicitly, but my guess is that you found this sex to be much more satisfying than before. Your wife certainly did!

Also: nothing wrong with masturbation from time to time, just use your imagination! You should get your release at least 1-2x per week.

Thanks guys. I’ve decided to only masturbate when I get to the point where I get an erection that won’t go down sort of. I had a wet dream last week and almost this week too. But I want to give masturbation a break. It gives me more free time.

Sex is MUCH more pleasurable! I haven’t jumped on her like that since the last time I rebooted! That’s another thing. Seems like when we reboot for the first time we think “maybe porn wasn’t the problem” so we slowly start watching again. Either that or we think some other lifestyle change made the difference but that’s not true. Porn WAS the problem there is no doubt about it now. As I think back I can see it clearly. That is enough to permanently keep me on this path of no porn.

Porn is what first brought me and my mate together, we are not unappreciative about each other’s bodies at all, considering we are both on the chubby side.

We look at porn for all kinds of kinky stuff to do together, whatever two males who are equally open can do, given our mutual anatomy.
