  • Question about Porn

    I already read a lot in this section of PEGYM just out of curiosity but I'm still wondering what I should do.
    So I've always masterbated with my thoughts to get hard. I would usually just vision a scene that's happened before like sex with an ex girlfriend. Or I would vision up a different scene/scenario with a girl that I've had sex with If you understand what I'm saying. Not to put my business out there and go off topic but when I was younger I was kind of bad and I ended up going to Juvenile detention center for a year and that's where I kind of mastered this lol and I would always come up with new scenarios but always with girls that I've been with so it was like it was real. I was never able to masterbate to pictures like everybody else because it wasn't realistic to me(Inless it was a pic of a girl I've been with so I could imagine something up). So that was a long time ago, for the past 6-12 months I've been using porn on my phone because it is easier and doesn't take as long.( When I create scenarios in my head It takes awhile because I have to go through the whole process of meeting,kissing, 4 play etc, I cant just vision me jumping in and having sex right away and get hard). And from everything I'm reading on here is saying that this is really bad to do(Watching porn that is).

    Well I have sex on a regular basis, I go through small droughts but that's because I'm kind of shy so for me to approach a girl I have to get a sign that she's into me so I don't get girls every single day you know. I don't sit at home all day watching porn, I have a job, numerous hobbies and I'm always doing something. The only time I watch porn is when I'm edging or masterbating, granted I do masterbate or edge once a day. 1 or the other. But im not addicted to porn, I can/have gone plenty of days without porn like when on vacation etc and I'm not having withdraws or cravings for porn or ejaculation. I really watch porn because It's more convenient for me and ya I do enjoy it as well for seeing new positions and techniques etc

    What im asking from all this is am I in great danger from using porn lol or will I be ok given everything I just told do you in my rant?

    Dude...this is coming from someone that is trying his hardest to retrain his brain after being addicted to porn. You don't need porn man, don't do it, don't be lazy. Just use your imagination. And be wary of edging for too long. I just learned that "when you edge you have a continuous dopamine release in your brain" and that can cause your brain to get rewired too. Scary shit man.

    Some will say, that occasional porn is fine...and it probably is, but I'm done with porn and cautious with edging now. YOUR PENIS functioning properly for the LONGEST amount of years possible is WAY more important that getting your rocks off because it's EASY. I can't convince you obviously, but the moment I started having ED...man, you don't want to EVER be at that point if you don't have too.

      Here's a link that will explain the potential problems with porn. Hope it helps.

      Bondage.
      Some people call it domestic violence.
      We call it foreplay.
      Got cuffs? GAME ON!

        No I hear ya man that's why I made this thread cause I know im not at that point yet but after reading all these threads and articles I feel like If I keep using porn I could get to the point of addiction or ED. Honestly just thinking of not watching porn anymore at this moment is kind of scary to me for some reason. That in itself kind of scares me that Im even thinking like that now

            I almost feel like I wish I didn't even look into this section of PEGYM because now I feel like a drug addict or something.

              It's better that you did look into it and now will be able to fix any problems more easily than if you hadn't come here. Just don't be too hard on yourself and stay focused on getting better. It takes a strong man to admit he either has or is starting to have a problem and an even stronger man to stay the course and do what is necessary to fix it.

                  Porn can be very detrimental. It's not a lock that you will get problems from it - as long as you keep your head in the right place porn can be good fun. The thing is that once it gets a hold of you, it's very hard to shake it off. The repercussions of porn addiction are not trivial, as the addict very often develops a deflated image of his own manliness.

                  Look at the endless posts on this forum by people worried about their size. Most of them are from people with perfectly normal stats. Such worries didn't begin with porn, but porn certainly isn't making things any easier. And while I don't know about you, being worried about my worth as a man is just another worry that I don't need in my life. Life is hard enough as it is. Meeting another person, entertaining her, paying attention to her and her needs - all that is difficult enough in its own right. But it's rewarding when it works out. Watching porn doesn't help you do any of those things. For the unlucky, their porn habits forbid them to even try. Don't fall into this trap.

                  I can't reliably tell you whether or not you're in the danger zone. I liked what you described in the original post, and think you should stick with that even if it takes a little more time. And I don't think you need to beat off everyday. Maybe it's just me, but I always have much stronger orgasms when I do it every 3rd day or so.

                  I don't know if I'm sounding preachy here. I dont' want to be preachy. It's just that you had such a good way of dealing with these things, and now you're replacing it because it's convenient. Getting hard from imagination alone is a bloody gift, I still have it but I have to wait until I'm in the right mood. Most of the time, I can only get a good erection in my sleep or the few times I get lucky. That's what I got for letting porn fuck me.

                    You'll be fine......from my experiences in this life, you go with what works for you. The key is moderation bro.
                    It's a tough job being good looking and hung :-)

                      Not preachy at all, helpful actually. I agree with everything in your 2nd paragraph aswell. The reason I masterbate or edge every day is because after m sessions I like to get a full erection and ive heard its good to do. And on my off days I do it because I don't like to leave my dick completely untouched. I am strongly contemplating cutting down to 2-3 times a week though because my EQ isn't really 10 and my ejaculations aren't as strong as I think they should be(just found this out a couple minutes ago)

                          I haven't masterbated in 2 days, bur just because Im measuring this weekend and want my EQ to be 10. I like to get a fully hard dick after my routine and thts when I usually masterbate but now what im doing is immediately after my session I start to go though scenes in my head like I said in the OP and it works within 2-3 minutes and I get hard and just keep going through with the scene in my head for like 5 minutes and then I stop. So I still get that extra blood and extension at the end of my sesh but I don't ejaculate so it works perfect

                              Going on 5 days no porn or masturbation an im perfectly fine. Not craving it and im still getting extremely hard after my sessions using imagination and doing 5 second hold kegels while fully hard and EQ is 10 and getting hard easily. So I was worried from what people said on the first page of this thread but now I feel better and know I don't have a problem
