I do think anyone will benefit with no porn. However, the stronger attachment you have to porn the more beneficial it will be. Just try and see if you body lets you quit porn completely, if you get slightly depressed or start feeling bad after a few weeks of no porn then it will help you.


If you watch porn just for fun (with no sideffects, which some people claim to have), then quitting porn will do nothing, maybe. I can't prove this idea sense I am not made like this.

I seem to have no side effects from porn, but then my interest in it is far more limited than what you guys describe. Have not noticed any difference when I have gone long periods without porn. Did have a period where the ex and I would watch x rated movies between bouts of sex. The effect of that was more sex.

I'm the same. It's not an addiction, an overarousal barrier or a masturbation trinket for me either. A little watch here and there, and it'll get me hard. But giving it up has not proved to help me with anything in the past. I can appreciate it does for some.

I don't know, I had quit porn for about 1 month, and my EQ/horniness levels hardly changed...

I don't have performance anxiety. For me, it's hard for me to get it up when I'm alone, like just trying to do an edging session.

I think it is safe to say porn doesn't effect everyone the same way.

Psychology is amazing CaptainJohnson!
I don't recollect the article saying that it was opposite for women actually. Your probably right though, it is strange.
So the more orgasms you give your wife, the better eh?

"it has been observed that the more orgasms women have over a 30-day period, the more unfriendly and aggressive they perceive pictures of unknown men"

Orgasm

This seems to be supported by the pattern that "falling in love" tends to show a decrease in testosterone in men, and an increase in women. Basically, a woman in a strong sexual relationship should get hornier with that individual, while finding other men less interesting.

I don't know about that honestly... I could believe the testosterone part of that. "It has been observed" haha.

Like I said earlier I don't believe all of this 100%. Everyone is different really. Especially with special circumstances (rape, abuse) everything about the article would change.

This is true too, and relationships can also grow stale. These are biological explanations for behaviour. This always leads to trouble as behaviour is decided by a plethora of factors.
