Let’s talk edging with or without porn

[Chief3nick]

There seems to be lots of views from both sides and I’m wondering what kind of consensus or thoughts there are on the subject.

Reading hundreds of posts has shown me that some have cured with, some without, and some a combo.

I’m in the midst of a very aggressive campaign to beat PE and while edging had a great, long session going but the EQ was poor. Used imagination, etc, but the flashlight just wasn’t doing it for me. Probably a 7-8. Maybe it’s all the RKs? However I put on some amateur first person porn and the EQ went to ten and I was still able to have a successful session and stave off the PONR. What are the pros and cons of both? Rationale would tell me training without won’t prepare you for the stimulation you’ll receive during the real thing, but I have not beaten it so my opinion is all theory. Let me know what you think.

Ask yourself WHY you are dependent on porn.

When I'm edging I usually avoid using porn as a stimulus I try and use my edging sessions as a way to concentrate on my own feelings and sensations with no distractions. When I'm with my gf I can then focus on these same sensations and these are heightened further just by being with her I think that it's too easy to get accustomed to porn and then when you get some time with your gf you're wondering where the other 2 fit bi women who are going to indulge in your porn fueled MFFF fantasy have disappeared to

For me I haven’t had any real EQ or ED issues. I feel that with the training I’ve done and starting to go longer kind of took some of the EQ out of my sails, but perhaps with no real person or porn stimulation that shouldn’t happen regardless of time?

My primary thought was for combating PE I need to be stimulated during training for the real thing, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

I wouldn’t say I’m dependent. Watch only POV amateur, but I’m starting to see some of the reasons why I shouldn’t use it at all.

If I don't watch porn for some weeks, my flaccid is much bigger throughout the day, and I get spontaneous erections just by thinking a slightly sexy thought or walking past a hot woman. I also have a much easier time getting erections when the need arises, and the EQ is usually considerably better. Porn desensitize me in numerous ways, mentally, erotically and physically. Also, I feel self-confidence and self-esteem coming much easier if I lay off porn completely. Nowadays, I only watch porn if I'm laying in bed sick for several days, and feel completely bored out off my mind.

Are there any long-term benefits to watching porn? I can think of none.

The Pre-E sticky thread has some awesome reads. I personally like

" ByggD's guide to controlling your ejaculation response ". If you're working visual into your stamina training , that's the thread to read.

Personally I use visual when edging and Ballooning but also practice Semen Retention. That's the best way to edge & keep EQ on point for your next PE session. All the unessential ejaculation is what kills EQ & refractory periods.

If you're in a relationship & actually have some real loving going on than stamina training using semen retention seems to help if you need to use visual.
