Why does everyone "quit" porn/stopping masturbation?

[Yeahbuddy Member Find all posts View Profile Close Yeahbuddy]

I see that as common occurrence here on PEgym. Any particular reason why? Will gains come quicker without porn/jacking off?

It is for those addicted. I just cut way back.
Makes healing or recovery easier if you're not beatin' off three or four times a day.

Because there's no benefit from porn or masturbation. Instead of porn to brainwash your mind, use your own mind. Instead of masturbation, edge.

Actually it's not very bad for you.
Overdoing it is. It needs to be done if you're not getting off in some other way or your prostate will get messed up.

I`ve cut down on porn, but still masturbate just as much. My EQ has gotten better and more stable

I used to watch a lot more porn before I started doing PE, now I watch it when edging. Oddly since I started PE I don't masturbate any more

I highly recommend everybody read that Cowardly Lion article in the link above. I experienced those symptoms while watching porn and masturbating. I quit cold turkey and feel so much better in every way. My moods have improved greatly and are more stable.

I still voted that I masturbate but don't watch porn because I am not in a relationship right now and need release every so often. I do edge.

After more research..I assure you porn is very much bad for you. Your prostate is the least of your concern. Natural wet dreams are fine..but masturbation is not. Sertonin/dopamine levels in the brain get so much of a spike you develop dissonance. In a sense sex feels worse! As WalrusGumBoot said..this can interfere with non-sexual stimulus.

I think I'll cut back on porn and masturbation.

I don't like cumming on my bed... at least me... the girl can. Hehehe. Anyway, MASTURBATION IS HEALTHY! Like everything else... take it in moderation.

Exactly! I jerk it a few times per week. I enjoy it, I like it and see no reason to stop. I also watch porn in small doses. I've never been addicted to it, however. It's not something I have to watch or need to watch daily. I can do without it.

I recently stopped watching porn completely and I've noticed a HUGE difference! It is so much easier to get hard now. I masturbate 1-2 times a week, aiming for 45 minutes to an hour before cumming. Like others have been saying, masturbation is healthy in moderation.
