I guess I have too keep watching it if you guys aren't. There are enough people out of work and I would hate to see all these porn stars end up on unemployment! Hey, can you collect if you are an out of work porn star?
Don't RELY on porn for an erection!

Ok so for the sake of the economy, everybody should keep on watching 30 min of porn/week!
Really nice thread , thanx god i found it... I am 21 years old and i watched porn for more than 5 years , in almost every day basis... I have cut it completelly for about 3 weeks and my errection got stronger, i have many more morning erections and sex with my girlfriend is way more exciting ... also when i go for coffe or something with friends i see women with nice bodies and sexy clothing and i feel like crazy sometimes , when i was watching porn when i saw them it was thinking "hmm ok just a good one" Great job Zen!!! Everyone should stop watching porn ! It ruins ur erection!
Quiting porn is probably the best thing i ever did, it can go from moderation to addiction without you realising. I did rely on it in the end and it took quite a while to reverse the problem. Now i can get an erection just by kissing a woman which boosts my confidence knowing that i dont have to worry about getting it up when things get steamy.
I'm really glad this is reaching the younger folks, too. Us old guys have ingrained habits that are much more difficult to reverse. Catch the problem as early as possible! Don't wait - because Uncondioning is more difficult than Conditioning...
I'll keep watching that stuff for you guys and if anything really wacky happens I'll let you know. Hey if you keep it perspective and in moderation, like all things, and you don't assume that sex with your woman is a porn movie, then it's not all that terrible.If you can't then by all means stay away!
understood, CUSP, everyone is entitled to their opinions. But mine is not an opinion but based on actual personal experience. Many others here can verify. That is what this thread is about, not that watching porn is immoral or anything like that.
Also one must be careful of creating psychological conditioning. This happens without any effort on your part. It leads to habit and conditioning which is difficult to reverse. This leads to differential neurotransmitter functioning as well as depleted dopamine release and/or DA receptor downgrading...which is the basis for our reward system, desire, motivation, enjoyment of life.

Oh I didn't think we were discussing the morality of it which I would agree with you it is not the type of thing we all should strive for. Does porn condition us or do we allow ourselves to be conditioned by it? I agree that it can be a problem for some people; just read this thread and you'll know.Is it, the porn, doing it to as or are we doing it to us and allowing porn to be our neurotransmitter? Going back to the reward system part of the brain is going back to a primitive part of the brain. Have we not now learned to allow the higher function of the brain to take over from primal thoughts?
I cant thank you enough Zen ! if it was not for reading this thread i would of probably fryed my dopamine system by now. This thread i believe was never intended to question the morality of porn. I think we all need to remember the title of the thread - "Don't RELY on porn for an erection !". Its only when you cant achieve an erection without porn ... that you should be concerned. This is what happened to me, even when i watched it in moderation.
Thanks again Zen
The question is...
How come some guys can watch porn frequently and have no problem with boners.. while others cant?
As for myself.. I think i have some physiological things going on.. but apart from that, like 4-5 years ago, when I was 18.. I could watch explicit porn every day and still bang my girl all day long.. now 5 years later, i rarely get horny, have difficulty without stimulating images etc.. ?
I watched porn for years with no problems WHAT SO EVER.. so what gives? Like I said I think ive got some other things going on..
I think porn definitely has a negative impact on your mind and your neurotransmitters. But, i think if your otherwise super healthy and virile it shouldnt effect your ability to get an erection?

yo watched it so long that it finally caught up to you. thats it, its like cocaine, you do it in the beginning and you only need a line, after 5 years of doing coke you need 5 lines just to get as high as that first time. sit back and thing about what porn you watched in the beginning like, when i first started it was just chicks in bathing suits lol. then the internet came and it was like chicks masturbating, then lesbians, intercourse, hardcore, anal. and whatever else is out there lol. your addiction gets stronger as time goes by. and now that i tried to kick, i can safely say from experience that it is indeed an addiction. i guess in moderation it could be fine but i know for me, theres no such thing. theres either watch some ppl do what i wish i was doing or not watch and go out there and do it.
Aha i think i`d rather be addicted to porn than cocaine, but yes i agree. Last night i was with a girl and it was my first time having sex in about 2 months and i couldnt get a full erection... and basically i`ve been watching porn for a while now, especially these past few months and i think thats why. It was even more embarrassing when i said it was because i was drunk -which i was- and said we should do it in the morning. In the morning we had sex again but i lost my erection about halfway through.
Now though alcohol, and even a hangover can prove to be stupendously counteractive to getting hard, i think porn and my desensitizing are what fucked me over.

Good thing I stopped by to check this thread out, I gotta stop trying to get erections to porn because it's starting to get really hard and the thing that sucks the worst is I'm about to hit 22, and I only had sex twice.
yeah you are better off without porn. Cavemen DNA was not designed to handle the dopamine rush of watching sex happen. Rather it was designed to ejaculate quickly so as to prevent predators from attacking. And guess what? We are all still cavemen.
Cold Turkey!

Fantastic thread. And everyone responding - - wow - a bunch of guys who are open to introspection and being self-aware. This seems so . . . unusual.
I am in my mid-50s and have periodically got hooked on porn, only to drop it after a while. I recently got hooked on porn again because I am restoring my foreskin. I manual tug to restore. It is easier to tug when I am hard, so, I watch some porn and tug. When I first started, I would get hard from anything I found on the net. Gradually, I needed harder and harder porn. Currently, it takes me longer and longer to get hard and the porn has to be more and more extreme. When I do get an erection, I am not as hard as I have been.
Restoring my foreskin really helped with my ED problems and my EQ skyrocketed. But, since I started using porn to tug, I noticed that my EQ has been gradually decreasing. Reading this whole thread really helped me to see what porn has been doing to me.
I am stopping cold turkey. This thread has really motivated me.

I've stopped watching porn and masturbating for about a week now and I have no sex drive at all, neither do I have morning wood anymore. It's kind of worrying me but seeing that others went through this is comforting. I didn't think that I was addicted to porn, really. I've never had a big libido so I watched porn and masturbated 3-4 times a week, but for the last few years I simply couldn't sustain an erection without touching myself. I suppose that it's one step beyond visual stimuli? Like, I now actually needed PHYSICAL stimuli? That's way bad. So I'm trying to cut on the porn and masturbation for a few weeks, and see what it will do.
You are not the only one. I still have morning wood, but little else is happening. As I think back to just before I stopped porn, nothing was happening then either unless I was watching porn.
I am also doing The five G's for big erections. I have high hopes it will all come together soon.
Morning wood will return! It might take a few weeks...in the meantime you should still do Edging and long masturbation sessions, with attention on the sensations only. This will rewire your brain/dick connection
