My Porn Problem

[GeoKnight94 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close GeoKnight94]

Recently I have been having problems recently, as having used porn and sexual fantasy to help me out with my routine and I have been told by Big Al that will hinder my results, and to be fair it hasn't helped my erection level with jelqing. So I am wondering if I should take a break from PE and give up on porn at the same time till I feel like I can do it again, i.e having morning wood again as not having it recently, so feeling like I should stop with porn and give PE a rest, at least till I can get morning wood again. What do you guys think?

Porn definitely had an affect on me when it came to maintaining an erection without a lot of stimulation. Cutting porn out of your life is definitely a good idea since it affects you quite a bit. What happens when you pull out your dick to have sex with someone and you can't get it up? The reason is because your brain is used to be in a mode of "hypersexualization." Developing this habit of looking at porn is detrimental to what you can expect in real life situations with sex, looking at scenes of porn and thinking that is "normal".

Take a look at this article series on the effects of porn on the brain: https://www.pegym.com/articles/detra...fidence-part-1

It is fairly interesting and helped me lower my usage of porn. I look at it from time to time but I definitely have lowered the amount of porn usage tremendously since then and it has helped me with my EQ.

As for quitting PE, I didn't. I'd try to still do PE but it depends on how badly porn affects you. Taking a break isn't bad at all but I'd try to focus on moving away from the dependency of porn. In the third part of the series of the article I linked there is a focus on reversing the negative habits with porn. I definitely recommend you look at the article and read through each part. It was eye-opening for me and I hope it will help you out with your plan with improving your EQ.

I had read that a couple of time, as giving me the idea to take the break, and I am not quitting, just taking a break for a bit then get back into it, though debating weather for just a weak or till I can get morning wood again, I am honestly not that bad, as able to get an erection by myself, it just taking too long and not as hard as when looking at porn and I can still f**k alright, it's just when I am doing my Penis exercises from Big Al.

I suggest trying to break the link between porn and PE. Stop porn, and cut back on PE if needed, but keep doing some. This way your body will learn they are separate. It sounds like your coach is saying something similar. The video in my signature may give you more reasons to quit porn. Good luck.

I know what you meant by quitting porn by taking break and not quitting completely.

I agree with what Wishful said to continue with PE but to a lesser extent only if needed. I am guessing you are following along in Big Al's MeCoach program and I would listen to what he advises you. He is very reputable in the PE community here.

Yeah I was told to keep doing it, but cut out the porn, so I will keep doing it.

Yeah he tells me to continue, just try not to do it with porn and with a clear mind.
