I've decided to quit porn, a few questions/considerations

[enlargen Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close enlargen]

Since I was 12 years old I've been jerking off. I think the most time I've gone on without jerking it in a row since then has probably been about five days which is rather ridiculous eh? I think I've become conditioned to sitting in front of the PC and wacking it. I've decided to "quit" many times before but have never been able to. Now that I'm going "on record" here as it were hopefully I will stick to it and possibly report back. I damn sure will try very hard.

My regimen: No more pornography ever, and I will masturbate only once a week. Why once a week? I read somewhere that if you don't masturbate for this length of time, your testosterone level will reach a peak, but if you don't masturbate the following day they plummet and stay low afterwards. So once a week should be optimal. However when I do masturbate, it won't be to pornography. I can only use my imagination.

This is gonna be so fucking hard man. Especially since I'm unemployed right now and living in a town where I don't know anyone so there's not a whole lot for me to do. Regardless, some questions:

1) Have any of you ever quit porn and seen an improvement in your erections?

2) How long did it take you to achieve this?

3) How severe was your ED before and after?

4) Is there really a "detox" period where my libido will completely die? How long will it last and is it difficult to overcome (no pun intended)?

Thanks!

You have made a great choise amigo!

1) Yes, already after one day off masterbaudeing, you'll notice a harder penis

2) One day, and its just get harder and harder, the less you masterbaude

3) well I wouldnt call it ED, just a weak EQ (i didnt know i have weak EQ, my penis seemed hard to me you know?)

4) i have not experience this, but i remember i had a hard time gettin turned on without the porn at first, but it slowly disapears.


You'll notice that the main problem here is that it become a habit of yours, its not easy to quit, but when you do, youll see this, and you will never masterbaude daily again.. its not a psyisical need, its a habit.. well it was with me. hope this help ..

marray christmas

There have been a number of threads about quiting porn and the evils thereof. I thought that there might even be a group for the porn quitters, if there is I didn't find it. I'm not a porn kind of guy, but wanted to chime in with my support and a big sincere good luck.

I've heard so many people talking about porn is bad. I think it depends on the person but personally my imagination is better than any porno, the images I can create in my mind are way more vivid than any porno.

Isn't the reason people say porn is bad is because you are watching something that isn't real? I mean after watching porn for so many years you get expectations of how women should be and it leads to not being able to be turned on by real women? women with faults etc. etc.?
So I don't know about you but my imagination can create women waaay better than porn so in reality it would be better to watch porn because if I use my imagination it will outdo "real" women every time. And if you create a women with faults in your imagination, aren't you just defeating the purpose?

you are rigth!
the imaginaition is a much much better tool than porn, but the problem, as you say, is that people that does look at porn, dont have the "traning" in imagining girls in there mind, porn has done this. but when you quit porn, there go some time, and you fantasy is back were it belongs

This is the same for me. It's not outright ED, but my EQ should be stronger. And like you I didn't know it was weak EQ until this one day that I did kegels and woke up with a throbbing, steel enforced dick in the morning. Before that I didn't know I could have erections so strong. There have been other occasions where I've attained it through kegelling but it never lasts. I don't know why. It's either because I start fapping too much when it's there, or I overtrain through kegelling (or both).

I can't seem to get a good kegelling routine. I overtrain far too easily.

I'm trying to cut back a lot while I'm not PEing for the next few weeks. Been jackin' off still... just using my mind. I can last longer and get WAY harder... shouldda done that when I measured the other day.

One week away from porn and ejaculation and your penis will be hard like steel.

This is fucking impossible. I've already failed multiple times, can't do it.

maybe set yourself smaller goals.. don't go into it saying i will never masturbate to porn again .
say things like i won't masturbate to porn for 2 days.. then 5 days ..then 7 days .. and keep building on the time between sessions...
and during the space in between watching porn ..look into erotic or dirty stories .. start learning how to use your imagination to build the imagery in your head with words ..and slowly move away from the written erotica and build your own stories and porn in your mind.

You can do anything along those lines that you WANT to do.You just have to want to do it! Isn't it easier just to be a bit tough and give it up for a while to prove that you can do it instead of coming on here saying you're a failure?

Wean yourself off it, as Titty suggests. Don't try to go cold turkey. Just start watching it less often. You will eventually stop needing it. I have some great "personal porn scenarios" which work great. Once you get off the real porn, you can create your own in your mind. It will work just as well. And it's all "natural," and much less addictive. It's all about reconditioning yourself--rewiring yourself, if you will.

We do have a thread or two here on getting off porn. Just have to find the right link, that's all.

I recently had a conversation with a girl that works for the American cancer society as a counselor to help people quit smoking...then she took off her pants... Just kidding. This is actually not an example of a personal porn scenario. Rather, she said that the general attributes of addiction are the same regardless of the subject of your addiction. That being said, why recreate the wheel? After exhausting sources on porn addiction specifically, you might check out the acs website. Considerable money has been spent on helping people stop using tabacco. Perhaps you can apply some ideas from that.

I'm also a going to quit looking at porn, and intend to follow my own advice. Since, I still wack it to digital titty meats I have no personal anecdotes that would be helpful just yet. I will race you to porn abstinence though!

I'm going to try to stop watching porn too. Also, I'm going to try to masturbate ONLY when edging or ballooning, and not just for the hell of it. Hope this works for me .
