I want to stop watching porn

[TheSperminator]

Well. The title says it all. However, i know about the site "your brain on porn". Really great help. BUT
The site says if you really want your libido back in healthy state. You need to quit watching porn (duh) + not masturbate or edge ..

I'm really in a good streak on PE'ing. I'm really sticking with it. And it feels good, however edging is a key exercice for great gains in PE. So I have a dilemma here. Any tips/suggestions?

I play cock hero matches. It's like watching hot naked women and following a beat. Goal: don't cum. ... it's great. However it is porn and i do edge/masturbate (not cumming but still masturbating)

Now I wouldn't say i can't live without porn but i almost watch it daily cause i love it. However i'm sure i can do without it. But the edging/masturbating thing is hard because I don't want to quit PE.

grtz

Ejaculation is good for the body... Just keep it, like everything else, in moderation.

You don't have to edge to do PE. You probably haven't tried without it.. If, however, you can't get gains without edging and get gains only with it, do it. Though when you're edging, abstain from all erotic thoughts, and thoughts in general.

If you are edging, nevertheless, after a porn addiction it can be quite difficult to NOT look at porn while edging, and it can be difficult NOT coming back to masturbation to porn.

About ejaculation : Your body will get rid of unused sperm/full prostate/balls via nocturnal emission when it is needed. People say : "I don't have wet dreams, so I have to masturbate." No, you don't, you just don't generate enough sperm until the point where release is needed.

Na... you should be ejaculating regularly and if you aren't getting some it should be from masturbation. It's unhealthy not to.

Newb question here but what's edging? I'm guessing going to the point of no return and then cutting it off?

Post studies to prove your point.

So stop watching it. Any "habit" can indeed be stopped "cold turkey" if your will power is strong enough, and you stop making excuses.

That site is bullshit. It's a bunch of pseudoscientific rubbish. How about this: Get your brain off of that site and think for yourself. Stop letting every little bit of garbage you find on the internet infect your mind with self-doubt.

This is a great website: How to Stop Porn Addiction - Free Help Overcoming Pornography

There's a forum where you can start your own porn recovery journal, which would be a compliment to your PE journal. I've started one and it's actually helped me a lot. I've thought about watching porn since I started recovery, but I just go to my journal instead to get my thoughts out.

What it did, however, is it helped people realise it IS an addiction.

For some people it is an addiction. I stopped as I thought the way I used porn was contributing to premature ejaculation. I had no problems stopping and am only slightly tempted to look at soft porn - or just to see nude photos of women without that being hardcore stuff. I don't see what is wrong with that, but I too have this idea somewhere in my head that porn might be a bad thing. I suppose there are many degrees of pornography and even if you look at films they do not have to be hardcore. My personal experience is that it got to the point where the actual act of sex was not as much of a turn on as watching hardcore pornography. That is the point where I realised there was an issue. If screwing a woman and not being as aroused because you can't see everything happening is the result of hardcore porn, then that is messed up. That was my case and I'm not saying it applies to everyone.

There are two reasons I am tempted to look at some type of porn photos or images. The first is I think it is harmless and good for your sex drive to look at nude women (soft porn or arty type photos). It's almost like appreciating women more. It is natural. Secondly, in the premature ejaculation forum one of the guys recommends using porn to control your excitement. That does seem like a valid way to deal with PE so I am thinking about that as well.

Ahem...here's some anti-ejaculation media: The Dangers of Busting Nuts - YouTube

I never understood the porn addiction. I don't get how someone can find something online and get hooked on it. I've read books on brain science, i've read articles here, I've seen things on TV... So I know it happens. I simply can't relate.

And it's all the weirder for me because I work with sex. I was a photographer for a nude modelling show. I worked in an adult store. After a while, tits became background for me. I stopped seeing them.

That's just me, though. Good luck to you and your efforts to get off porn. I hear the first few weeks is hard, but after that it's smooth sailing. Use your imagination.
I would recommend that you stop playing cock hero, too. Pictures can lead to added excitement and prove to be detrimental to your edging goals. I don't use pictures at all when I edge. It's all imagination.
If you like music while you do it, then by all means, put something on. Maybe something relaxing and soothing, like Enya, or something along those lines.

Edging is bad for you? You sure about that? A lot of men here say otherwise. It helps with libido and helps in your enlargement gains. It also helps to cure ED or PE.
If you want more information, look for posts by Pegasus. He's a mod here that seems to be the edging expert.

Ejaculation is good for you. My sources: KingPole, Going411x7 and the other mods.
I trust their opinion over some randumb dude on youtube.

No... it's quite simple. Blue balls is not good. It hurts.
Jizzing in the bed at night is nasty.
There is nothing wrong with masturbating so long as it is moderation.
Oh, and doing that is good to keep your prostate in good health.

Most of that can be found quite easily.

? I stopped watching pron too but I still edge with imagination. This is bad you say? I would think edging would give you more control and put the power of arousal back in your brain where it belongs instead of in your senses.
