Quitting Porn

I am quitting porn as well here. 43 days off here. I’m at the point where my mind want to use porn substitutes like me clicking on cute women’s social profile pictures and watching TV shows with sexy girl. I refrain from doing so. I also subscribed to nofap.com which helps. I don’t have a problem with masturbation and orgasm but porn has been detrimental for me and I just have to cut it out forever, listing the pros and the cons, the cons were major.

My last relapses were cause to having problem getting good EQ for PE and I used porn to get a bit of help and edge.

Do you mean that you don’t need to edge at the end of a hanging session? This would be nice because I fear edging at the moment, chances are I might be back to porn if I tried to edge.

This thread seems like a really great idea. I had a serious porn problem for a long time and have weened myself away from it to the point now that I don’t watch it, and I don’t even really think about it too much. I still masturbate sometimes (usually just edging and not cumming). I’ve noticed that the longer I go without porn, the more excited I can get just fantasizing in my own head.

Right, all I do is hang. Edging and Jelqing are triggers for me.

Today I arrived at 31 days without masturbating, without watching porn or ejaculating, the first time since I have reason. I’m very happy.
 
I needed to do this because I had an erection problem after months without having sex, just fap and porn. Then I said “Enough is enough” I felt very bad. Actually throughout my life I almost always had erection problems, I am circulated but when I was of age.

  I really feel very good, and I don’t need to masturbate or watch porn at all. But now I’m meeting a girl, and we probably have sex, I hope after 1 whole month without ejaculating it doesn’t end in 10 seconds, lol.
 
  I’m almost daily taking L- Citrulline Malate, do you recommend it?
  Do you think I should masturbate at least 2 or 3 times a week to not finish fast?

If you only had a problem with porn, you can still jerk off. Maybe quickly jerk off without porn . This way your load would be gone but your mind not overstimulated.

I had an erection problem, so I stopped masturbating and watching porn, in addition to starting to take L-citrulline Malato.

If I think I’ll try to masturbate 2 or 3 times weeks without porn.

Hi guys
I also have quit porn and I need to tell you that it is really harmful
Now I ask for your help to cure my post-porn penis traumas: I have premature ejaculation. Why? The problem is whenever I see a girl naked and ready to fuck my pelvic floor spasm without my will you know? I can edge for example for eternity and don t cum if I do not see some girl fully naked moving or thinking how nice it d be to fuck her.. If I do, my pelvic floor spasm and makes me cum BC my mind was trained that way due to porn watching since young age and the need to finish fast. Bet lots of you premature ejaculators have the same problem, just be aware and try to find if this is your problem too.

So, what could I do? I heard of reverse kegels but I m not yet mastering them, I ll try
Please give me more alternatives/exercises in pelvic floor relaxation and help me cure this and not waste my youth.. I’m truly sorry this shitty industry caused me this and many others.

Sam,

Since I’ve gotten older, I don’t have a problem with pre-mature ejaculation, but when younger and going out on a date, I’d jack off prior so the body wasn’t as desperate to cum. It worked well.

Just take your time and relax. Spend more time in foreplay. Be playful.

Also it’s not always a bad thing. We guys never complain if a woman cumsnhard just after a few strokes, do we? There have been several occasions when I stop and I tell my GF “your pussy feels so fucking good, I could cum right away” and she just says “cum…now” and starts moving herself to trigger me. It makes her feel like her early orgasms make me feel… validated. And then we chill and do it again…

I have an audio cd on the brain.

When a bad habit is broken this makes an empty space in the brain. In theory.

If the empty space left from a bad habit is not occupied with a new and better habit.

The bad habit will return and rule again.

I basically cook the meals, get the groceries, clean house and spend time with my wife going to the gym and taking walks together.

Any activity that requires ever-increasing doses is an addiction. During one period, I ramped up to where I was watching Joanna Angel take three dicks up her ass, and I barely blinked an eye. That’s jaded, that’s addiction. I had to hit the “X” and leave that world.

When I left constant porn, I was watching women with animals. Only thing that got me hard. That’s how deep it will take you.

There has definitely have been a change in porn from the 80s to now. And I feel current porn is a total off turn. I look at high production value porn like Andrew Blake and compare it to the hardened degrading stuff of today and… yikes I am chilling having late lunch as we speak and the thought ruined my appetite.

I worry about our human mass consciousness and the damage that visualizing violence and degrading sex and cruelty does to us.

I have always watched porn in moderation and have never liked extremes. I love a beautiful female and if she’s getting treated right, that’s sexy.

My fav porn plays in my mind anyhow. it’s called fantasies and memories.

When I first quit I was a mess but I was slowly able to get back to the point where I can climax from imagination alone. It’s a slow path with the odd slip off the wagon.

I know when I have slipped it causes a big issue as your brain picks up on that dopamine hit and it a libido killer and takes a few weeks to reset again. Not worth the fall off the wagon to be honest and each time is further appart. Months to half a year now, ideally will reach the point where it’s gone forever.

A support thread like this for people to share success or vent when they slip up is a good idea.
