Porn Free for 42 Days!

Thank you everyone for your stories and confessions. Agreed, porn is highly addictive and highly toxic to almost (if not all) aspects of our life.

Cfobus, I am indeed impressed that you have been able to do so well, I am 14 days in and trust me, I yearn for porn more than I would really care to admit.However have to go cold turkey. I think what helps me is that I have challenged myself to stay away for at least a month. Do not be too hard on yourself you have done well and the best thing you can do right now is get back on your challenge and aim to beat that month. Sure enough you will fail at times but the most important thing is be honest with yourself, and implement whatever is necessary to stick to you goals. I do not have direct tips because what may work well for you may not work for another. I am aware of my browsing patterns and when I sense I am heading towards the slippery slope, I stop right there and change direction. You have to be proactive in reeling yourself in and being disciplined in achieving your goal. I know how important this porn detox is for you and you must be willing to work at overcoming the challenge. If you have suffered any negative side effects from excessive porn then you know it is in your best interest to be on the detox. I want those razor sharp erections to return without effort and to return to such, I am going to have to undergo a reset of sorts and this detox is a great starting point.

Again I’ve been doing really well, but then yesterday, boom.. I made the conscious decision to go back to my favorite site and enjoy the boob tube.

One thing I have started doing which I think is good is each day in the shower I try to work myself up to an erection (which I literally couldn’t do a few months ago). Most days now I can get up to 85% in about two minutes of concentrating. But the important thing is that I am able to do it without porn. I am trying to focus on the feeling itself so if I ever manage to talk a chick into not running away I think I would be able to perform.

Time to start the clock over. This time I’m not too upset about yesterday because I didn’t binge, I feel like I got it out of my system where last time I couldn’t get enough.

Hopefully soon I won’t have to worry about falling into the trap.

I hope everyone else out there who’s trying to quit is doing well, keep up the good work, remember how great it is to live in your own porn reality. Mine’s a solo right now, but maybe someday I’ll have a starlet of my own too!

Cfobus Any update.

So far I am doing well with quitting. i haven’t looked any porn since I posted. Been having sex with the girlfriend. So far EQ has been slowly increasing. Still not 100%. I really want to get a 10 EQ naturally, and not rely on drugs. Sigh.

I have been away from porn for the last few weeks and my erections are improving daily.

My dick responds to my wife in the evenings now to the point where she is getting sore and lacking sleep.

I have to be respectful of her need to sleep before 1.00am but she is still going to work with a smile on her face.

Drop the porn and save your sex life.

Backslid the last two mornings.

My wife has been on a course and up too early for my attention so after she left I found the free sites and edged for nearly two hours yesterday.

I found it hard to attain an erection last night and even though we were successful eventually, I realised my mornings session nearly cost me time with my wife, which is extremely important to me.

Same thing this morning, so I’m a little anxious.

Jungle,

I’ve actually been doing really well (allowing myself a trist every couple weeks seemed to help), but I did have a big scare that is making my decision to drop porn (I’m thinking of totally giving up masturbating too, which I already cut down without porn since I was having a hard time getting.. Hard). I had a sexual rendezvous on Friday (first time I had sex in 3 years, ouch!) and I was doing okay while she was blowing me (probably got to 89-90% but little sensation), but the within a few seconds of being inside of her I felt myself starting to lose what she did such a good job helping me get. I ended up screwing for all I was worth for all of one minute tops before I blew (at probably 50% hard).

Embarrassed. Yes. Emasculated. Yes. More serious about never looking at porn again. YES.

I was worried my EQ would carry over to sex, thank goodness this was a one time encounter because I could never meet her eyes again after that performance. I really hope I can get this under control because I want to be able to use my dick when the need arises. It’s way more important than pleasuring myself every time I can find some alone time!

I know that this is psychological, I have great morning wood, sometimes I rub it just hoping that my body will recognize what it’s supposed to feel like. I really hope I can re-boot and be able to satisfy a partner and myself with a raging hard-on on day without fear of turning into a wet noodle.

A woman will understand about your anxiety.

Give the detox time and you will recover.

I hear you dude. So much pressure on us to be at 100% EQ. But, thats why we are here. I am tempted to look just peruse an amateur site. However, it would be bad for me. I’d start by looking at porn, end up comparing myself and feeling like shit and going into a depressive state. Which wouldn’t help with the events that are coming up this weekend.

Its been two days since I watched the last piece of porn. Now what do I do?

Find something else to do.

Dang porn is calling me, resistance!

Hope everyone is sticking to their goals!

Yeah. I hope.

I quit watching porn a week ago. Hopefully I can last 2 months until my fiance comes back! Your story is quite motivating and inspiring.. Thank you!

I’ve struggled with porn induced ED before, back around two years ago when I first started dating my ex. I was single for about a year and watched porn sporadically and was fine with having sex with other girls in the time I was single. Never had any issues.
Now I’ve been seeing this girl since January and have been dating for a while now. It took me around a month to sleep with her and I had no troubles with an erection for the first 2.5 months.

The last month I’ve had trouble getting it up for sex, and if I do I usually can’t keep it up, and if I can, I rarely ever finish. Except two days ago I finished twice in under 5 minutes back to back, but I usually last 30 minutes with her and don’t blow.

I’m not sure if this is psychological or physical. I don’t think I’ve masturbated or watched porn in like 3 or 4 weeks. And I wasn’t have troubles before that when I was watching sporadically. My biggest worry is that its physical. She gets quite wet and is a squirter and I lose a bit of feeling after around 15 minutes of sex especially if she cums before me. But this hasn’t stopped me from finishing in the past. I’m not sure if it’s because I don’t make her cum 100% of the time, slowly increasing to around 40% of the time now. So i’m not sure if I’m mentally worried about making her cum so that’s affecting my ability to get it up.

I don’t mean to thread-jack, I just figured this was a good thread to ask some people to see if they had any advice with what I should do going forward. I’ve considered going to the doctor to get some bloodwork done. Mostly because my girl wants me to and I’ll do it to give her peace of mind.
