Can porn really lead to ed?

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

I remember a long time ago when i watched porn / looked at porn pics almost religiously in 7th grade that i was never able to get what you guys call "porn induced ED". I was always able to maintain and get random erections super hard throughout the day.

Now, thinking back on those days i wonder, if it really is possible to get porn induced ed. I ask this because i want to start jelqing with high erections soon and i lose erections alot during jelqing sessions. But when im watching porn i can maintain a woody for a lot longer.

Is "porn induced ed" just for older, older [40+] men, or am i vulnerable too?

Last night I did erect kegel jelqs for an hour with porno (I couldn't sleep so had to do something to pass the time). I wasn't really watching it but I had it on in the background. It is just more convenient like that. I don't have to fantasise or try to keep my thoughts together, imagining something arousing. That's why to porn is there. No mind hassle, focus purely on the jelqing technique.

I think the porn induced ED exists but what I do is that I try to regulate the amount of porn I watch. I like to watch it so there is no point to stop watching it all together. Just I make sure that I balance the situation with porn-free exercises. I edge without porn really often.

Oh yeah, I am 28.

No I don't think porn can cause ED. I really doubt it. I have watched porn for years since a young age and I rarely ever had issue getting hard porn or no porn. It was when I injured my penis a few times a few years back that I started to experience mild ED. As you know ED is either mental or physical, typically it's usually mental for young guys but the truth is most ED is organic and due to physical causes.

I can't say for certain, but porn induced ED makes sense to me. Another factor to consider is that porn warps your idea of what sex is; how people behave, what women want, and so on. There is another thread on the forum about facials and whether women really like them. As I understand it, porn started showing facials to prove that the guys were actually cumming and to give visual climax to scene. But now it is a "mainstream" practice that some guys, at least, expect a woman to enjoy.
Sex scenes are choreographed for the pleasure of the viewer, not the performers.

Sure porn ED exists.All it is is a desensitizing effect on the mind.
Everyones minds work differently so its not like porn will caus ED in every man if he watches it but there are some people that watch execive amounts and become reliant on it, so when hes with the real thing hes not as arroused therefor its more difficult to get and maintain an erection.

Both of these are good observations.
I think the important thing is to keep porn in perspective: enjoy it, but don't watch too much.... and remember that it is not real, it is just for fun/stimulation. Once it becomes a crutch or an obsession rather than an occasional pleasure, then there may be a problem.

And by the way, I think these can be issues for women, too.

Interesting. Do you know of women who watch too much porn? I tend to think this is almost exclusively a male thing.
These days, about the only porn that I watch is while I jelq. It is, I admit, quite convenient. It doesn't excite me so much that I cum but it does provide a sufficient level of stimulation to keep a semi-erection in place for long periods.

This sums up my thoughts, although I have found it harder (pardon the pun) to get erect without it. I'm Trying to train myself off of it, so I try to look only when I have to. Try to focus on the feeling, rather than the visual, though. And seriously try Erect Kegel Jelqs with edging. Freakin sweet.

Hey man! Which approach did you choose in the end? I remember you had a thread where you asked for some detoxing tips. Good luck!

Hey bro thanks for asking.
Im making real good progress.
All I do is keep buuisy in my day so im not thinking about it,but I do watch it about once or twice a week and when I do I try to just look at pictures or somthing very less hardcore then what im use to.

Ok seeing all this input on porn, i think ill watch it while i jelq to maintain a good semi erection.

Also is this a sign of porn ed?:

My erections without porn are about 97%. Like, i wont be at my ABSOLUTE max size. However i still ahve a hard eq of 10. Keep in mind i have erections spontaneously and VERY VERY oftenly.

But with porn and being close to my girl, i always get a bigger 100% erection. So i kinda use porn to get my max size on measuring days.

I dont think its porn ed, but i was just asking.
------------------------------

p.s. No offense to ppl taht do take porn seriously as a true way of life, but im not dumb enough to believe the antics that porn proposes. IE facials and "rape scenes". I know that facials are probably not very enjoying for ANYONE to go through. Imagine being squirted with slime from a water gun....

Ive cummed in my girls mouth once and she already told me she didnt like it. I know that porn isnt reality, so id never take it seriously. Really i look at porn for the naked ladies. I use THAT for erections not the sexual acts.
