Is it Acceptable?

G’day Mates, I understand that porn is bad for us.. But does that include all sexually stimulating material? Take for example, a video of an attractive lady dancing, she’s fully clothed yet the dancing in of an erotic nature.
Is it just as bad as watching porn or is it acceptable?

Reason I’m asking is that I used to jelq to Porn until about a little over a month and I miss the ease of maintaining the required erection level and expansion I could get from the heightened state I was in whilst jelqing to porn. I was wondering if looking at something similar to the above example too substitute. But if it’s just as bad for me as watching porn, I won’t.

Any feedback from you guys as always is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Why is it bad? You want gains right? For gains I need to be on a low erection level for jelqing (length gains). Let say I can stay at 10% erection level. This is too low I want to be at a 20-40% erection level but I can only do that by looking at pictures of a naked woman so I search naked woman on google pictures and then start jelqing. Somethimes I need to look the other way because I get too hard and somethimes I need a more erotic picture because I cant get hard. If you need porn to stay on the right erection level you dont have a choice right?

Yes, you do. I’d start with kicking the porn habit before starting PE.

Interesting topic. I’ve reduced my porn intake considerably and found superior erections as a result. But that could just be my mental. Also the P.E. is helping the hardness and girth factors.

Yeah me too, I’m porn free for 3 months. And I did notice that I get erections randomly, and I just take that opportunity to jelq. I do have to do some mental fantasies which I think is better than porn.

With porn, I can get hard when I needed it. However, knowing the long term effects of porn, I try to avoid it.

Thanks mates for your input. I guess I’m just going to soldier on and not use any type of substitute for porn and just keep on keeping on. I mean it’s only been a month and a bit since I’ve stopped watching porn and my mind and body is probably just getting used to not needing it for stimulation.

Once again thanks mates.

Just like anything else in life, it’s about balance and moderation.

Porn is problematic for 3 main reasons:
1. Women being objectified because actresses are used and abused in one way or another, usually because they are super young and in a tough spot financially
2. Overuse of porn can cause performance and election issues when having actual sex with an actual woman
3. Porn is fake, so guys can get a very unrealistic idea of what real sex is/should be and what real women like and what real women’s bodies are like in real life.

Personally, I don’t think there is anything wrong with occasional (moderate) viewing of amateur porn.

IMO the whole “nofap” a s 100% no porn ever movement is just as misguided and extreme as the other extreme (watching copious amounts of porn every day and masturbating until you’re too sore to continue)

Everything in moderation.
The ancient Greeks figured that out thousands of years ago.
