How porn destroys EQ (Erection Quality)

Whatever this guy has posted is 100% reality for a porn addicted user.

I was reading every line and I could relate with every fucking line. From specific big bossom to ordinary fetish such as being cuck.

I was a heavy porn user and who heavily masturbated over porn, and trust me when the real time came to perform, I was not able to get hard at all, despite she was 9/10. It's cause I was already jerking over 10/10. Tell you how terrible I felt that day. And when I finally got myself a very weak Erection (by thinking those porn scenes in my mind), I came within a 20 sec with semi hard shaft.

Later I would always avoid sexual interactions by making excuses cause I thought jerking off was giving me more pleasure and control over actual sex. Sex seemed boring tbh.

And after all these, at 26, finally with a lil research I found it's possible to reverse and rewire my brain and started NOFAP journey since then.

I'm right now in Day 50 without porn, masturbation and orgasm. At around day 15 my libido and sexual drive peaked, few random Erections, also got morning woods(which I never got before in my life). But after day 20, I started noticing a flatline, decreased libido with no morning woods nor random Erection even till today.

Along with NOFAP I'm practicing Normal kegel exercise to fasten recovery.

I agree with both sides in this post. Maybe porn is not inherently evil, but the way that it is used by many people makes it quite dangerous.

Here's another example. A little bit of sugar isn't bad, but the way most people in the Western world use sugar is causing diabetes, metabolic disease, obesity and more. I mean, people's expected lifespan is decreasing in the United States of America because of poor nutrition and lifestyle.

So you can say, "sugar isn't bad, just use it in moderation," but obviously it's more complicated than that. If you are able to moderate your porn, good for you.

I have gone more than 3 months without porn or orgasm and it was one of the most powerful and productive periods of my life. I met a beautiful woman and my first orgasm having sex with her was better than losing my virginity.

Personally I don't think there is anything wrong with masturbation. Just limit yourself to once a day. Porn is the real problem here. If someone is unable to quit I would recommend doing a fazing off cycle of masturbating to nude women but not watching sex scenes, bjs, dildo porn, etc. After a few months of this either only masturbate to lewd photos with no nudity or just use your imagination. I tried No Fap a few times and would end up cumming in my sleep. Porn is physiologically damaging not masturbation.

Thank you for sharing this. It is good to abstain from the pleasures of life from time to time in order to achieve a successful life. I'm personally bad when it comes to moderation. I found cutting out video games, porn, and politics (things I use to obsess over) to be the best decision I have ever made. My productivity, and willpower has noticeably increased, and I'm starting to become proud of the person I'm becoming. My relationship with my parent's and siblings has never been better, I'm way more confident and sociable, I've become a straight A student at my university, I started learning how to play the piano, started working out and eating healthy, girls have started flirting with me (especially when I don't pay attention to them). There are better things in life than the instant gratification that pornography offers.

No Fap increases your libido for the first 20 days, and then libido drops off. That's been my experience. I would recommend masturbating, but just not watching porn.

I was never an all day masturbator(on average once a day 5days/week) and I never understood WHY people are doing it.
As I never understood why people do drugs in excess , why they drink alcohol until they pass out ETC.
Having an orgasm , or feeling a little light headed from alcohol and stuff is nice and good.... BUT why the hell some people need to do it all the time!
Why this self catastrophic behaviours?
In my case if you feed me everyday 6 meals of a certain food.... even if i Love this food in the 1st place then after some days I will hate it.
So in order to keep loving it you have to eat the certain food in moderation.... the same applies in ANYTHING. ( according my kind of thinking).
There are women out there in real life that they look like porn stars and they are being fucked like pornstars...
What you have to blame is not porn.... but you ( and by you I mean anyone with your kind of thinking) that you are not doing what is needed in order to fuck them too.



I have put my answers in your quote.

Some people are more neurotic than others, prone to negative emotions, anxiety and depression. Some people had some problems growing up, problems with self esteem and all kinds of stuff. These stuff in your head have to be dealt with so we can grow up, mature.

Addictions provide you first with a high, you haven't felt that good after using something(porn or any substance) for a long time, maybe never. You hit your brain with high amounts of dopamine, this makes you feel good. So you start using almost all day, do this for few months or a year and your brain starts to adapt to that amount of dopamine, it builds tolerance. Now it's not fun as it used to be, it may not give you a high but it can still remove a low. After that it doesn't even take away the negative emotion, here people feel trapped. It's not fun anymore, it is a full blown addiction now, you just can't stop. At this stage people probably f***ed up totally their reward circuitry so much that other things that used to feel good don't anymore(riding a bike, going out with friends, playing a sports etc.), but you have to do those other things so you can beat the addiction.

I hope I answered some questions with my very limited knowledge of psychology of addiction.

I don't watch porn because I compare myself to porn actors, I feel bad that I don't have dick that big. Not that I don't want to put in the work, I did. I came to this site 8 years ago and increased my size to where I was pleased and wanted more. But I had problems with self worth even after that, because problems with self esteem don't go away by increasing size of your dick.

I've had problems with putting on condom with the first girl I was supposed to have sex with. At the time, I did masturbate too much but I just felt bad about myself. I felt self hatred because of this for so long time. I started to binge on porn hard, lost everything in size and endurance. Anxiety crept in, I developed partial ED and PreE. Got sick and sh*t.

Porn addiction wasn't sole reason for ED, for me at least. It's combination of shame, self esteem issues, body image issues, avoiding responsibilities which results in stress and addictiveness of porn.
