Porn's overstimulation good or bad?

I have been reading many threads and posts about how porn is bad for you because it overstimulates you, but if you can control the orgasm such as when you are edging to porn then wouldnt you be more prepared for sex because youll be used to higher stimulation?

Maybe. Too much porn can cause erectile dysfunction (it's happened to me, I'm working on trying to fix the effects right now). If you get used to seeing different girls getting dp'd or doing other crazy stuff every day then when you see a girl naked in real life it won't even excite you like it should. But I also think it can help make you last longer in bed. However, my plan from now on is to not watch porn and get better in bed by having lots of sex, that seems like a much better plan to me.

The downside of too much porn is not worth the limited upside in my opinion.

Yeah I also don't get all of that shit: DP's, gangbangs, bukake and stuff ..

For me a hot babe who likes to fuck is enough. 1 dick, 1 pussy, that's it for me.

Yea, the problem with porn though is that you watch so much of that 1-on-1 stuff that it will eventually get boring and you need to move on to more hardcore stuff to get stimulated. It's only really a problem if you watch too much, I don't think that it's bad at all in small amounts.

I'm curious what the "over" in overstimulation means for many of the guys who decided that porn is a problem. The best analogy I can give to porn for me is that I enjoy watching professional sports, but it doesn't negatively impact my enjoyment of a game of pick-up basketball in any way shape or form. I assume guys really mean that they masturbate to porn [X] times a day/week versus having real sex [Y] times a day/week and that too much [X] is messing up their [Y]. If you're masturbating too often (to porn or otherwise), your little guy may just be physically tired rather than psychologically scarred.

jd - Have you ever watched the "Your Brain on Porn" series? I never realized that the reason that I was losing erections with my gf was because I was desensitized until I watched that. I could still get totally erect watching porn but being with my girlfriend became boring to me. Your brain doesn't distinguish any difference between what it sees on tv and in real life. You should watch the series, even if youre not addicted to porn or anything it's still very interesting and informative.

you make me curious. Im more interested in the scientific aspect of the problem and yourbrainonporn seems to be resuming it well. Thing is, if our brain doesnt distinguish images coming from a tv, newspaper and internet then rebooting is technically impossible in the society we live in unless we are hospitalized for a few months while our brain rests.Get what im sayin? I dont know if there are that kinds of hospitalization but i do know that after heart attacks or fatal accidents some people are uncautions for months no?

Watching porn all the time masturbating to it with no girlfriend, without lube and while doing regular kegels turned me into a minute man. Doing the EXACT opposite: not masturbating to porn, having real sex w a girlfriend, edging/ballooning WITH lube but WITHOUT PORN and getting really good at reverse kegels is what turned me into a marathon man. I can have sex today with a girl for sometimes 1 hour, but if I mastirbate to porn, I ejaculate in minutes. I am not about to train myself the wrong way again. I wi never masturbate to porn ever again. Dump the porn. If anything, watch it for a while longer, but don't touch yourself. It will train you to not get overly excited(the major cause of Prem Ejac)

It may be true that you can't totally "reboot" your brain with the constant influx of technology and information that we have, but I think it's possible to sort of re-sensitize your brain to sex so to speak. I mean, if the only thing that could excite you was hardcore porn and you totally stopped watching porn all together it makes sense to me that after a while you would start getting aroused more and more easily.. I don't know enough about how the brain works to be honest though.

I can "see" how porn can be over used just like many things in life to the point of being a bad thing. Porn can also be a good thing. My wife and I occasionally watch porn together. It turns us both on. I also watch it privately and still enjoy sex with my wife. "Use it, don't abuse it."

Can't agree with you more.
