Porn Once a Week to Increase Sex Drive

[MAG5 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close MAG5]

Ive been on a no porn streak of I think 39 days now. These days with internet and social media it’s easy to accidentally come across what’s basically soft core porn. I’ve already noticed just getting a quick glimpse and my sex drive was up for the rest of the day and the next. And when I thought about it, I’ve been incredibly horny after watching even just 5-10 minutes of it at times.

So, could porn, when viewed very infrequently, let’s say once or twice a week for 10 minutes actually help?

Everyone’s different, but has anyone else found the same? Or at least agree with this.

I’m now contemplating whether I should keep up my streak, or safely, moderately use it once or twice a week solely for the purpose of increasing sex drive even more

Why did you do the no porn option in the first place if you are going to go back to it?

Was hoping to improve EQ. Hasn’t worked all that much. A bit. But sex drive is down. I kinda want to experiment with porn once a week to see if it helps. But also don’t want to lose my streak lol.

Instead of turning to porn...may I ask some probing questions?

- what is your diet like?
- stress levels?
- relationship status?
- do you do a kegel program?

Read up on addiction. You can always find a justification for going back to whatever it is you're addicted to. Porn, alcohol, nicotine, etc... It's all the same. If a movie sex scene/soft porn does the same thing porn will do with your libido... just do the softcore. If you get to feeling like looking at softcore makes you want to watch hardcore porn... stop and go back to square one. The best thing you can do is use your imagination. That's my opinion and it's something I'm working on, myself, but it's difficult Men are visual creatures. But the overstimulation from porn is detrimental.

Diets great.

Today so far....

- Greek yogurt, apple, Nuts
Meals 2 and 3 - Chicken, Brusselsprouts, rice
Meal 4: chicken Brusselsprouts English muffin peanut butter

Ignore the random capital letters, on my phone and it does that.

Stress is fine, life’s good

In a great relationship

No kegel program

Good point and good idea

Keep away from porn for good. It will take a while for your erection levels to be optimal because you've relied on porn for so long.

Keep up your streak man, your brain will try its very best to trick you and convince you it's fine. I think you should really detox yourself from it all for a while, I did it for over half a year and it helped me tremendously.

I`m laughing so hard at this thread.

Porn once a week ? Lol. You can`t call yourself drug - free if you still do the drug once a week.

Your brain will not recover / de-sintetize from the rewiring bug if you still give it to yourself once a week.

You either recover or remain . No other option . My view on porn :

There are a few of us who do love the odd bit of porn as a libido lifter, the real problem comes from guys who sit watching hours of why masturbating and a lot more than just once, its here the real problems start.

Just the odd bit wont harm anyone, me I have been watching porn on and off since 1964 and does lift the old libido, its best to just keep to the straight stuff, for me now its the old fogeys having sex, which is quite good, but not all of it.

Maybe it's libido boosting to watch. But it's brain - killing (rewiring) to masturbate on it.

So how many can just watch ? how many have that power ? And I feel disgusting to watch 2 people do each other.. instead of me doing her

Your diet alone can boost your test, as well as exercise, so why waste that test on porn. Yes your test will increase looking at porn, but you've just wasted all your energy on something that's not real, when you could of wasted that energy on getting a real women. Put it this way semen is only 1% sperm, the other 99% is of vitamins and proteins, and you've just wasted all that nutrients on porn.

I 100% agree with tank, it is an addiction indeed and it kills imagination, I think with time away from porn imagination will start working better showing the needed visuals to keep sex drive up, I myself although a visual person but also care a lot about sounds associated with sex but porn has spoiled me making me find realistic sounds and visuals in real sex to be a downgrade from what I'm used to and it ruins sex, now that I'm 3 months free of porn I'm starting to imagine things again and it's starting to center around real stuff I do with my gf and it makes me more eager to everything that happens in real sex, I still suffer from very poor ejaculation because imagining doesn't get me turned on enough but I believe with time things will get better and better.
