This morning I woke up with incredible morning wood (I just posted about it in more detail in my log). My erection quality was higher than I thought was currently possible. Judging by the impressive hardon I was sporting, there's clearly nothing physically at fault with my penis. It's all psychological.

There's no way I could purposefully achieve such a strong erection and I believe porn is to blame. I'm far too reliant on it to maintain my erection level during PE and I think I'd really struggle to exercise at all without it. I look at porn far too much and at times I think I've got a borderline addiction. I'd like to be able to do my PE without the aid of porn to help keep it up.

My concern is that it will take some time to ween myself off of it to the point where I can easily get a full erection purely by my own manual stimulation, with no visual aid whatsoever. In going on a porn detox, I'd probably have to lay off the PE exercises for a little while (being unable to keep a consistent erection level) and risk undoing the conditioning that I've built up over the past two months.

Does anyone have any advice?

What if the porn is homemade and includes your significant other? Is that bad? I understand how porn can effect the way we think of our other halves and how it can be addictive, but if they are the porn......?

Oh ... just around ...

I believe that falls into another category since it involves yourself and your sig other. One of the underlying issues with porn is that it involves fantasies based on viewing other women (and men for some) - what you are viewing is much more intimate since it involves you and not some stranger. This type of viewing could be much more beneficial since what you see on the screen is easily translated to real life - the acts you are doing for the video can be directly attached to your partner. So instead of desiring some other person, you desire is innately attached to her- which is where it all should be anyway.

That makes sense to me, it's just something I've always wondered about. No doubt porn can very addictive and destructive to a relationship and the withdrawls can be tough to deal with. Now I just gotta figure out how to get her to consent to it;>)

My advice would be do it mate, stop using the porn for your workouts. I was in the same boat a couple of weeks ago. Yeah i had a few bad workouts where i couldn't get it up, but was amazed how quickly i started to be able to get the desired erection level for pe. I think my dicks learning the difference between a workout and a wank. I think this is crucial, and my workouts are better than ever now, plus i'm getting more regular, natural wood.

Go for it my friend. I might suggest trying to continue a bit with the PE as this part of you might feel neglected. You only need about 30-50% to jelq, and there's always stretches you can do. This will help relieve tension in the sexual center if you're also not masturbating.
The psyche benefits greatly from a porn detox, lightens up a bit...

Okay guys, I'm in. Starting tonight: no more porn!

Many thanks to Erictheged and paradoxfix for their encouragement. Good luck to everyone else who is doing this.

I've written more about my decision in my log. I update most days, so you can follow my progress if you wish and see how my porn-free PE progresses.

Ok, sometime last week I agreed to try. Honesty: I ruined it about 6 hours later. haha...

BUT, I haven't watched since Thursday now, and I even jelqued without help last night, so that's a really decent start.

Wow! This is so encouraging, we have about 12 or 13 people in the porn detox now... mine has been going great, my meditations are a little clearer and my mental space is a bit lighter because of it...
Hurray for the detox!

Scratch that. I'm out guys. Baby steps... I'm gonna get used to PEing for a while first. I'm weak. hahaha. Good luck to you all. This is something I want to do. Maybe when PE work becomes second nature, I will be back.

The porn detox has been a great help to me. It's been a little over a week now and I can maintain my erection level with little or no trouble during my workouts without porn. I'd encourage everyone who thinks they might be too dependent on porn for arousal to join in.

The one thing I'm still missing is getting morning wood and random hardons throughout the day. How long after beginning the detox did it take some of you other guys to start popping erections spontaneously again?

Count me in as well lads!

Lately, I've come to the realisation that there's nothing sexy or unique about the porn that's on show today- it's all about being extreme and shock tactics. My own imagination is way hotter and original.

Also, I've done some searching and have read some really bad horror stories of porn addicts and failed marriages etc. Too much of a good thing... I miss the old days, when the sight of a woman in underwear in the catalog would give me the hardest boner ever!

Rad! I think we are at about 14 or so now... For me it's been great, more clear-headed...
