Can porn really lead to ed?

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

me n my ex used mirrors. Absolutely fantastic turn on, anyway, too much porn is said to damage yo Neurotransmitters which make it hard to get erect or stay hard. I myself am trying to recover.forumup.org pe has helped. So has staying away from porn. Also taking a blend of supplements to help fix the Neurotransmitters damage caused. All I can say to the younger guys- stay away! Porn gives u short term excitement but destroys u in the long run.

Try not to masturbate and keep away from porn for 2 weeks
U will be able to see the difference

No need to stop masturbating, just stop masturbating to porn. Use your head and think sexy thoughts instead. If you can't get it up or don't feel like cumming, then don't. I think some guys masturbate way more than their body wants to because they get so used to using porn to go into overdrive. Let your body tell you when to do it -- wait till you're feeling horny and just thinking about a lady makes you hard. THEN masturbate, and see how good it can be. Don't rush and don't use porn!

personally i think the problem with porn is the progression it takes. everyone starts out with softcore stuff when they're younger, a few naked pics turns into some guy on girl stuff. i honesly dont see a problem with this as its not too far removed from what you'll experience during sex and therefore shouldn't affect you adversly.

the problem starts when you move onto the more hardcore stuff, very few people are happy to stay with simple one on one porn. you move onto group stuff, then that isn't enough and its on to some pretty weird shit (i hope this isn't just me). i found the effect of this for me wasn't a problem with ed but a problem with my libido. i could be sitting with my girlfriend and have a full on erection but i just couldn't be bothered to have sex, something she found more then a little confusing.

to try and fix this i decided to regress back to more basic porn, like i used to watch. maybe just a vid of a girl stripping or the more 'normal' videos, stuff i could recreate in my personal life and so far its worked a treat. i dont think i could ever go without porn at all, i find it pretty much impossible to masterbate without some form of visual stimulation. my excuse has always been that when a man gets erect he has to pump a lot of blood into his penis, that loss of blood from the body, including the brain, makes it harder to think properly. i know this isn't really true but its my story and im sticking to it.

I think the reason men turn to more and more weird porn, is because they start to lack the sensitivity to the emotional sexual palette. So say instead of seeing the full range of colors, they go color blind. Thus to get that same color, they have to add more contrast.

But the same thing with porn actresses or people with sex in general. That is why when people get older they tend to sway toward more kinky behavior.

I think it's good to be desensitized, to a certain extent, especially if the primal or familial foundation is not refined to the degrees needed to have the best of taste.

I keep referring guys to this thread, so I am giving it a sticky.

Posted in another thread but I think it applies here too:

I'm seeing an alarming increase in porn-related issues from clients Some of them claim that they can't even achieve stimulation without watching some kind of porn, and in the worst cases, it's taken precedence over real sexual relationships. Porn is definitely something that should be used in moderation and with a very clear perspective that what you're viewing is complete fantasy.

Wow Big Al, this is alarming news, knowing how deep your in the biz with this and all, mercy, why so much porn these days? I mean, I can understand that we may see a concentrated amount of this because guys with porn-problems would likely find this site if looking for a way out, but man, what is the deal with its prominence as of late?

Also, with the youtube and then youporn and other sites like it, it seems ALSO like a growing number of men and women alike desire to be in the porn biz. I knew several girls in my podunk college town that were actively making homemade porn in an effort to eventually "break in" to the scene.

Cx,
I think the issue is that it is so very very easy to get porn. It takes absolutely no effort at all. Internet sex is on demand. This is quite a change from just 10 years ago. We probably will not understand the full impact of this for a long time to come. I think much of the conversations here about the dangers of porn are very much ahead of the curve.

Good call Pirate. Man I never really look at porn. I have like 2 dvds that I havent looked at since last year.

But...I am guilty of constantly looking at nudie pics of my girl, is this porn? Since I AM fucking her when we see each other (currently long distance, but hopefully not for long!)

[Pirate Retired AdministratorPEGym Hero Find all posts View Profile Close Pirate]

I tend not to think of pics/vids of your own partner as porn since it is so much more personal, and therefore, engages more of your brain than straight porn.

I really wish I had came across this website years ago because all that has been said here is true I have gotten more information here over a couple weeks than any doctor has given me in years. Anyways I agree people dont realise the effects of porn immediately because it progresses over a period of years first you start out with the simple stuff and gradually it takes more and more hardcore stuff to be turned on. Eventually some persons start to look at the really sick stuff, but it is really hard to just stop watching porn I have been trying for a while especially if you dont have a girlfriend etc. I think it is a gradual process and u have to cut it out in small steps each day which I am fighting to do.

Not watching porn was easy while I was in a relationship. I went over a year without it... as in, after we started fooling around. Now that I'm single I look at it more often. I try to only look at it while edging or measuring. Eventually I want to get it to just measuring. Having a ruler shy cock makes it kind of a pain to measure without porn.

We now live in a world where those of us with internet connections can access instant pornography of any taste, in almost unlimited abundance, and in a lot of cases free. It's easy to see how this can become addicting if you think about it. These guys feed into the on-demand fantasy and instant gratification while putting real life intimacy, with it's imperfections and emotional issues, on the back burner.
