Signed up

Been lurking this thread, I'm at day 5 right now, what's funny is that I also stopped jacking off. I automatically thought if I don't jack off with the exceptions of getting intimate with a gf I'd be doing it right

Normally my habits are that I wouldn't bother masturbating if I couldn't look at porn, and knowing myself if I began to masturbate my will power would diminish and I'd end up looking at porn anyway

I wanted to inquire though

What proof is there that you would be harder not looking at it for 90 days? I know psychologically I am much more in control of myself and I'm not acting like a desperate person.

See, over time your body begins to build resistance towards anything.
Drugs, disease and whatever. So what happens, essentially, is that you
view porn to get aroused/erect and keep doing that. Well, over time your
body will develop a resistance to becoming aroused through visual stimuli mostly
and just in general (don't ask me how).
So, when the real deal comes along into your bedroom, or walkin' down the street,
your penis will not be thrashing like a fish on land.

I mean why would it? You've already seen a bunch of extremely attractive, well figured women
carrying out various acts of lust on the slightest whim. What makes her so special?
She's only like a 7.5.

One last thing, in porn its easy. The woman just suddenly has this irrepressible urge to
copulate and then "oh my" the pool boy looks "so tired" and he's done "such a good job".
You get the picture, in real life you have to work at it.

So, dare I say that porn also makes you "sexually lazy".

Thx dude!

But your completely right I don't get aroused looking at girls at college at all I kept thinking if this was normal. I remember the first time I saw a porn mag I had never been so hard in my life was about like 8-9 years old. Wonder if those days are coming back

Hey guys, don't mean to turn this into a venting session but I have a few interesting musings to mention. Not gonna lie, I caved in twice in the last week. The 1st time I made it to about 4 days without masturbation (and the only reason I stopped was because I noticed my libido was completely gone, and I was depressed). The second one was for the same reason, except milder. I wondered why this was happening, and I think I may have my answer:

Ejaculation is mediated by our sympathetic nervous system, which is a branch of the autonomic nervous system (this is just the part of the nervous system that controls functions within our body, like heart rate, digestion, etc). And the nervous system, as a whole, uses chemical messengers called neurotransmitters to communicate between nerves. Why is this all so important? Well, it just so happens that the neurotransmitters involved with the sympathetic nervous system/ejaculation are catecholamines (norepinephrine, epinephrine, dopamine). You also have serotonin involvement (which is a tryptamine). So these neurotransmitters are all involved with the process of ejaculation, which probably explains why you have elevated mood (feel happy) after jacking off. Stop the tugging, and you release less of these neurotransmitters. Interestingly enough, anti-depressants aim to increase the amount of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine in between nerve cells, as depression is thought to happen because of a lack of these neurotransmitters in between nerve cells.

This explains why I feel super depressed and unmotivated now that I've started on this program. Anyway, the point of all this was to say that not everybody is gonna have the same response initially; some people will heal much faster than others. If you've started to feel like complete shit, just know that you're doing the right thing and that these feelings will eventually go away. Your body is literally deprived of what it is used to, it just has to reset itself.

A very helpful resource is this website: www.yourbrainonporn.com. I'm sure it's been mentioned before around this site, but I think it'd be nice to have a link in this forum. So here you go.

post of the year jel, this is going to help a lot of people looking at this if they're going through such hardships, I use to be one of them. I had previous experience trying to quit porn and I've never succeeded, for some reason this thread and the fact I have a girl now is changing me to be more disciplined and not waste my time on these pixels. I was a lil depressed last night and I couldn't exactly identify the reason even though I knew it; sometimes it takes a second opinion like your post to assure what I'm thinking.

One thing is for sure though I stopped looking at everything in life as mundane and useless, right now things are looking a little more interesting although I hope to see a huge improvement. Overall this is a sacrifice for the greater good because I was much happier as a kid before discovering porn.

Day 8

I masturbated yesterday (on feeling!!). I couldn't hold it anymore, I couldn't fall asleep, I lie awake till 3 am.
Today I sat on the bus and this hot girl gave me a pair of blue balls, it sucked.

I also start to feel a bit depressed now, my dick isn't very active lately. My dick is a bit dead but I know this is normal.

When I was a kid I could choose girls, then, when I was 13 (I'm a latebloomer), I discovered porn. And since then, I have/had trouble with girls. PUA helps a lot, but it's not enough. I need my sexual energy + libido back. I'm pretty sure porn is a big cause of my problems with girls. I want to feel aroused again like the boy I was 10 years ago. Not aroused of some blonde fake woman who screams like she's getting raped by a cactus.

I didn't get much sleep either but you know something, the more I do this the more I get back to becoming normal. Withdrawal is a normal process apart of any chemical dependency. I do PUA as well and it helps tremendously to channel my sexual energy, I recommend you get yourself a gym membership and start doing stronglifts 5x5 and also get into cardio by running it really will help you release the chemicals that is necessary for your body to operate at that kind of elevated state.

Because think about it, if we're struggling to sleep, operating normally that means we're already getting this much high trying to be normal, imagine what you can accomplish once you stabilize this force. It would become a powerful catalyst to accomplish anything you ever wanted.
