15 Benefits of Quitting Pornography | The Former Fat Kid

This guy even noticed his voice getting deeper (probably related to his increase in testosterone).

Thanks for this. The testosterone in my body most likely isn't an issue. I've gained size and strength far quicker than my peers. The only thing my body lacks in is skin collagen, and well whatever heighr genetics work off of.


Plan to get on some form of safe alternative of GH to possibly grow a bit if my growth plates aren't fully sealed.

Do you think that maybe the porn just gives you another reason to not try/care about women?

I've got about another dozen other things that stop me from doing that long before porn becomes an issue, porn is #20 on the list after about 8 blanks spots before it. Plus, women are scary as hell.

I guess now that I realize it, PE is useless if you aren't trying to meet women/ or whomever you're attracted to. Cause if nobody is going to look at it, and you only use it for porn, then increasing your size IMO is not necessary.

With anything else you can do it for yourself too if you feel you want to, it doesn't necessarily need to be for someone else.

Hey please don't take my last post personally. I was more of typing my mind to myself as I was writing there. Nothing against what you are doing at all. I should have wrote that as a seperate post as motivation for myself.

Oh that's alright, I know it wasn't personal and even if it was that wouldn't be an issue either.

If you look over your last few posts in this thread in an objective manner, you might see you've painted yourself into a bit of a box. If I may ask, why do you have no social life with women?

I didnt really have a social life with girls at all through middle/high school at all. Had social anxiety as well. I thought I responded to your post. Apparently not. Had to come back here to inform myself why I should be sticking to AP90. Was just about to relapse for the 3rd time since my 17 days logging.

You think porn isn't a problem until you notice it is a problem.

You are young and thinking about quitting porn, I think that's good

I watched porn for 10/12 years in an usually moderate way. I've now been off porn for 11 months (I'm 30).

Here are the main negative effects I think porn had on my life :

- desensitazion : you become more turned on by porn than by real sex, and you have to think of porn scenes during sex instead of enjoying the moment. By using porn you rewire your brain and your sexual response becomes dependent on watching sex on a screen. After a few years of use, there's a great risk this leads to porn induced erectile dysfunction. I experienced PIED and that's what actually made me stop porn.

- New fetishes : after a while usual sex is not good enough to get your dopamine rush, so you look for new kind of sex practices (some you didn't even know existed). This leads to the "what the hell did I just jerk off to" effect after you ejaculate.

- Performance anxiety. Although I didn't notice it while I was using it, i believe porn highly increases the risks of performance anxiety, In porn, actors never have weaknesses, and are usually way above average as concerns dick size. So when you compare to them, even if it's unscounsiously, it's bad for your ego.

- I think porn reduced my creativity and my energy. My physical and intellectual performances were pretty good, but I belive they could have been better without porn. I think using porn regularly insidiously reduces your physical and intellectual potential.

- I think porn contributed to the fact that I didn' feel good psychologically, even though seen from outside my life looked good (For instance I had a girlfriend for a long time, that I loved and who loved me)

A few positive effects afer quitting porn for me :

- much better EQ and libido (after several periods of flatline), it's been eleven months and I'm still improving I believe.

- resenzitation : my penis is much more sensitive, I enjoy more intimate relations with girls

- I am a much more positive person now, towards myself and others

- I think girls are more attracted to me (I think there's something unconcious here, or pherormonal, or both, they might feel it) even though ther's alwas been girls who liked me, there are more now. Maybe it's just that I notice more now.


I think you can add to this list of benefits depending on your history.

Also i have to say quitting wasn't easy and that I clearly noticed a withdrawal effect (depression, loss of libido, up and downs in my mood). To me it is clear it was an addiction even though I wasn't a heavy user.

I have had zero social life with girls and porn doesn't impact me either. I find porn is fine as long as you don't get crazy about it, realize almost all of it is fake in some way and just use it to get off in the end.

You say you have zero social life with girls and you think porn has nothing to do with it?
My guess is that you are wrong

Porn might be related to the cause, but I doubt it's a direct correlation.

Either way, I guess it depends on what Dontrike is aiming for, if he doesn't want relationship, kids, family, why not?

It's a bit strange however, to see that he's here. That might show some conflict in his own wishes.

For sure
1) Masturbation without porn willl have much stronger orgasem
2) Masturbation without porn will teach you more on yourself than doing it with porn

I am not sure
3) You will last more in sex
4) You penis will be more sensitive in sex
5) You will fatigue your penis so you will have less gains

For sure why watch porn
1) Its fun and life is about joy..
2) Once you will be able to seperate the fake from the real you can actually learn from it
but you should watch it in the eyes of some who try to learn, watch the girl to what she react and how
comeup with assumptions and check them regualry..

Best!

Here's the thing- and this applies to stamina work for the purposes of EQ as well-

If you want to improve your functioning, sexual confidence, and experience, there's no better form of "training" than live sexual activity.

If you're plagued by perceived inadequacies, then even if you master manual edging, kegels, and the like, you're still going to have to cross the Rubicon when it comes to live sexual encounters. Like all forms of conditioning, the best way to do that is via exposure.

Your choice of the quality of partner(s) for this process will make a huge difference in your progress- and by "quality", I'm referring to how they feel about you. A trusted partner can be very helpful in assisting you to overcome any barriers you might be experiencing.

I'm pretty sure the thing I do the hour before a go to bed and at my most boring points of the day is not the #1 reason I have no social life. I'm sure things like negative self-esteem, zero self-respect, etcetera are much higher on the list than porn.

I don't wish to cause conflict, but how would come to a site about penile improvement conflict with anything?

There are many different reasons why someone would come here. There are also many reasons why someone would choose to postpone getting into intimate relationships.

My thoughts are a little divided. On one side porn can totally fuck with your dopamine response and erection quality while making you too "lazy" to approach girls. On the other side using porn makes PE fun (therefore makes skipping sessions much rarer) and it can get you in a relaxed mindset for talking to girls. After jerking off to high speed internet porn, just talking to a hot girl is just... talking rather than trying to find a way into her pants.

I think it's a personal decision everyone needs to think about. If you are good at talking with girls but aren't very motivated to go and talk to them, quitting porn is a good decision. If you are awkward with sex on your mind as soon as a girl says a word to you, but you have no problem actually talking to them... than a good jerk off with the hottest porn you can find before you go out will probably do you good.

Everyone just has his own response... I don't have any big downsides from porn. I know because I quit for awhile. EQ went up (which is cool but my EQ is already really good) and I wanted to fuck everything that walks. Escalating with girls was like second nature and it did help in that sense... but I think being on porn makes me just a bit more charming and less of a pervert.

If I had no PE to do and wanted to meet more girls I would quit porn for sure, just because I don't have that inner "*shrug* just a girl" when I see a cute girl so I always approach plus I am good at talking either way.

Oh believe you me, I would hop into a relationship as fast as possible, but I'm just not actively looking, for a number of reasons/excuses.

We can five you all the reasons in the world but they need to be your reasons.

No ones forcing you to stop looking at porn.
