My Brain On Porn Results

blue_atlantic_ocean · 2016-06-17T13:51:56+00:00

I have at least one a day. I tried going NoFap for two weeks and all I found was that my brain was no longer 'aroused' by sex as it had no longer been a conscious thought of mine for a fortnight. I even had a terrible case of limp dick when I met up with a girl which was super fucking embarrassing.

I don't know if it's just me, but actively watching porn at least once every two days helps me stay sexually conscious.

BenjiDread · 2016-06-17T13:26:23+00:00

I feel like I could have written this post. I've been habitually jerking to porn for over 20 years with some breaks here and there lasting a few weeks before I got hooked again.

I recently had an embarrassing experience where I would lose my erection and need foreplay to get it back up. It happened three times that night and I hated it. I knew that jerk in off affected my sensitivity and performance, but It had never been this bad. I felt a void where my dick should be and couldn't cum.

That was the kick in the pants I needed to immediately go nofap and get back in the gym after 3 months of laziness. Two weeks later (last night) I could actually feel her. My dick didn't quit on me and I came so hard, my balls and sperm tubes were sore for an hour.

No vagina can compete with a man's grip. Porn and masturbation will diminish the enjoyment of sex and one's ability to perform.

There's no need to become a pseudo-cultish nofapper, but if you're ripping you dick off every day, it's going to affect you negatively.

Imagine the most alpha guy you know, he can be a real person or imaginary. Doesn't matter.

Now imagine him sitting at a desk with his trousers around his ankles jerking off to porn..

To be honest I can't imagine it.

TheEssexian · 2016-06-17T16:09:55+00:00

I masturbate/have sex 2-3 times a day and I'm in my 40's. I find that it actually helps me to last longer when I have sex. So if I jerk off in the morning, go see a lady friend in the afternoon for a siesta, then I tend to last longer. I'm sure everybody's different.

But if you are worried about limp dick, and it isn't a medical issues, the best thing you can do is exercise and eat healthy. Eat lots of vegetables. I had a time when I wasn't as excitable. I had put on some weight and was eating meat and carbs. Not an excessive amount, but more than I should have been. Now I'm doing smoothies for breakfast, salads for lunch, and a slightly heavier dinner, coupled with regular workouts, and I got to beat this thing down with a stick.

A psychologist friend of mine told me that in the last years he had to treat an enormous number of porn addicts and porn-induced erectile dysfunction. However, when I told him about nofap he just laughed it off and told me to just not overdo it. He compared fapping to having a pint at the pub after work: safe as long as you do not have any condition and you are not binging.

everythingisthrown · 2016-06-17T15:13:41+00:00

I don't understand these results. For me it's the opposite, I am more sensitive, but I don't last as long, no change in libido, I get headaches, I feel sleepy all the time.

makechangegreatagain · 2016-06-17T14:53:16+00:00

Another cure for limp dick and low sex drive is simply working out. Doing cardio will cure your limp dick.

I still watch porn and masturbate about once a day on average and don't have issues with losing erections. However I did have these issues when I was out of shape, eating junk food, smoking cigarettes, and drinking too much alcohol.

sorceryofthetesticle · 2016-06-17T17:26:19+00:00

Libido is the secret to power over you. That this sub exists, that women automatically know how to leverage sex for commitment, that porn (visual sexuality in general ie. sexualized advertisements and tv shows) is so huge... These should all be signals about the power of libido.

Think about the act of watching porn in red pill terms: you sit comfortably, load up some videos or whatever, and then drop your own frame. For however long it takes to crank one out, you then put yourself in other people's frame just so you can get off. Everything about the porn you look at was designed by somebody else to get you to have a particular experience (and to get you to watch more). You allow your conscious to be guided by the details on camera that some stonefaced cameraman decided to zoom in on. The formulaic 'foreplay,' clothes off, suddenly fucking, 5 or 6 position swaps, and coup de grace cumshot (or whatever happens in your favorite porn genre) dictates how you will behave and think for the next however many minutes of your life, and you become conditioned to like it and seek it out. Basically, you enslave yourself to some skeezy slut, a dude with a big cock, a couple producers and a cameraman, all of whom have the express interest of getting you to drop frame and watch/buy more porn.

Why would you subject yourself to this? It is anathema to being a man, which is to own your awareness and mindfully decide who/what to give it to.

EscortSportage · 2016-06-17T17:53:41+00:00

Ive been doing the whole no fap/porn thing for a while now. Im like a gorilla in a cage! Throwing weights around at the gym or at home, and my libido is through the roof! This must be because of increase Test, not only from the no fap but also from eating healthy,lifting, and lots of sex. Its like taking goggles off and seeing and feeling the real world, iam more driven and feel more powerful, its been going good.

420Pornaccount420 · 2016-06-17T16:44:49+00:00

Everyone should try a week or two without and see how it benefits them. It isnt like you have to NEVER look at it again, but its the same with any psycolgically addictive thing (video games, weed, tv) if you take some time away from it, it helps you appreciate both your time with it, and your time without it.

Meristry · 2016-06-17T13:56:37+00:00

Currently two weeks in. Same results. Fuck porn.

TheElite3740 · 2016-06-17T14:53:08+00:00

Can take 90 days of no fap to fix limp dick. Gotta rewire the neural circuitry in the brain to seek out real women not porn

naMlliPdeR · 2016-06-17T20:56:34+00:00

I've over a year without masturbating. I find the idea of it beta. Jerking off your dick while watching someone else plow a chick you can't get. Pretty close to real life cucking.

I prefer to actually fuck a girl when my body calls for it. And If I can't manage, then man up and keep trying, use the sexual frustration to fuel you. It's a biological need, and jerking off just delays it but doesn't satisfy it fully.

So yea, I don't jerk off anymore.

Ifuckinglovepron · 2016-06-17T14:46:29+00:00

Interesting.

I jerk it to porn regularly, actually probably an abnormal ammount for a guy in his 30's and have yet to have any libido issues. Honestly I think I might have so.e sort of overactive libido. I have an LTR and ha e sex regularly, but there is just no possible way for her to fill the gaps, like I have to jerk it about 3-5 times a day in addition to sex. I happen work from home mostly unless I have to do site surveys, so it is possible to do so.

Just curious if there is any of you guys with similar drive.

3)No death grip

Question: What's a "death grip"?

JamesCrow · 2016-06-17T11:46:40+00:00

I'm all for the Red Pill ideology, but are you trying to say porn is bad? I love this subreddit and all that it stands for, I really do. But that's honestly not something I see as a problem in my life, nor would I want to stop watching porn. Am I wrong for thinking this? I'm kind of disillusioned about TRP after seeing this. I apologize if I'm coming off as a dick, I really mean no offense here. It just seems crazy to think this.

2016-06-17T13:37:32+00:00

I think everyone is different and we have to keep that in mind. As much as the principles and pillars of TRP do not change, we have to remember that we are all different.

I have no problem performing like a stallion whether I watched porn or not. I've never had limp dick because I've watched porn, and I've never had an enhanced performance because I did NOT watch porn. This is just my experience. Could have something to do with the fact that I don't jerk to porn, I watch it and get ideas from it.

0_fox_are_given · 2016-06-17T13:53:56+00:00

Illusory correlations.

Porn isn't making your life any worse than adding a teaspoon of sugar to your coffee is. Although, that's my own intuitive response.

If anything, it's the heightened sensitivity due to lack of daily stimulation that makes you feel this way.

Stop masturbating so much = sensitivity, libido

Stop watching porn = Equivalent of not watching a movie.

real-boethius · 2016-06-17T13:25:08+00:00

Sample of 1
No control group
No evidence of attempts to control confounding factors.
etc

This proves nothing. If you are spending all day watching porn / TV / drinking beer / smoking weed, you are wasting your life. But that's all.

Taking no porn to excess is just as bad as spending hours a day watching it. I had a medical condition years ago where I could not orgasm for 6 years. And I had no porn back then.

Did I get really alpha and macho? No

Was I super productive and proactive? No

Was it a miserable experience? Yes

If you're sexually frustrated rub out a number and get on with your life.

worktillyouburk · 2016-06-17T15:14:02+00:00

honestly i might try, i tend to need jerk off 2 times a night to fall asleep. how did you curb your need for the dopamine release?

Bigdickswingingyo · 2016-06-17T17:53:32+00:00

Tried the no porn thing for about a year, fapped as little as possible. Personally my sex drive plummeted. After four or five days of not orgasming, sex wasn't even on my mind. It did make my occasional orgasm insanely strong...almost painful. Like taking too big of a dump. Began watching porn again and I definitely spend way more time thinking about sex...though am less sensitive. For reference I've always stuck exclusively to solo female vids. Idk why. Jerking once every three days ish seems to be optimal for me.

Fumblz · 2016-06-17T18:09:55+00:00

Been on no fap for 3 months, then did the deed a couple days later, got caught back into fapping for a day or so now back to no fap. Honestly all of it is a bit silly, just fapping now feels useless. If i want to pipe, i will why do i need my hand?

I do feel more productive when i just dont ejaculate at all for a bit of 3 days.

reddit3k · 2016-06-17T22:10:00+00:00

Fully agree with the NoFap approach.

Given that i have ashtma

I'd like to recommend you to Google the Buteyko method. Visit sites like e.g normalbreathing.com You might benefit from it.

Gostkowski · 2016-06-17T22:11:24+00:00

What caught my eye is that there are no comments from endorsed contributors so far. Interesting.

Trpkw · 2016-06-17T22:34:58+00:00

I've been nofap since August 2011 since I found yourbrainonporn. Nearly 5 years now

PlebDestroyer · 2016-06-18T05:28:52+00:00

Im sorry but fapping w or without porn helps me last wayyyyy longer in bed. Whenever a school break ends or the semester resumes after summer I become a sex god! And okay yeah she does end up crying a lot since she can't figure out why I won't cum...but then I get to finish up later in the day. And theres nothing better than having her say "please please please no more" and damn near push you off the bed because its too sensitive after a while.

But by the end of the semester I struggle to last even 10 minutes. I even managed to nut in under a minute. Maybe Im just bored of the same old piece, but I choose to believe that its because I stopped fapping.

JaneeCathartica · 2016-06-18T14:49:33+00:00

It's not the porn it's the couple

billhickswasright · 2016-06-19T02:15:07+00:00

How senrendipitous that I found this post the same day I decided to go nofap for a week or two. I deleted my porn saves and declared that there shouldn't be any harm in trying nofap. The post as well as the comments are really helpful (it's good to see constructive critique).

redarkane · 2016-06-19T06:06:31+00:00

I've been on nofap for a month and haven't had even 1 erection.. I haven't watched porn. I'm 27 and I think I'm screwed.

R3v4mp3d · 2016-06-19T12:51:37+00:00

For asthma: did you check your respiratory system? If you have a deviated septum then that could cause the asthma/ allergies. Also look at your polyps (or whatever they're called).

Will go get a deviated septum operation in exactly 10 days (am also allergic and I have a strong deviation of the septum); whoever's interested about how it went/ what it presumed/ what it cost/ results/ etc, PM me in 2 weeks.

Edit: regarding porn: you quit porn and then you binged. Never binge after quitting man since it fucks up your "gains". When people have a "cheat day" they go full retard. I've read of weightlifter's cheat days being 10 doughnuts or 4 burgers and 2 cheesecakes. All I could think of is: good job bro; you just proved that you're a fucking caged animal that's just waiting for that cheat day to come and let loose. Discipline presumes that the cheat day happens out of necessity (to not lose sensitivity/ to clean up the pipes/ etc) and it presumes just ONE exception; not 4. Never binge.

Merica911 · 2016-06-17T17:26:36+00:00

Here's my 2 cents..

There shouldn't be a war on masturbation, but on porn.

From being a young man, masturbating all the time does zero harm, but watching porn all day is digging your own grave.

Here on TRP we learn that we can't rely on no women nobody for any kind of fulfillment besides ourselves. Meaning, if you're at the club and you met an attractive girl and you ask to go home with you because you're horny and she passes, there should be no reason why you still can't satisfy yourself therefor no reason to get mad at the girl. Masturbating is fun, sex is better, but masturbating is still fun.

Also, there should always be a girl in your circle that you want to bang if not I can see how people fall victim to porn.

Screenp2 · 2016-06-17T21:38:36+00:00

I find no fap to be the biggest pile of bullshit ever introduced to the sphere.

I'm 45 years old and whacking it since the sears catalogue lingerie section when i was 14.. then at 15 found a trash bag in the local make out area filled with porn.. the good stuff, not hustler.. but full hardcore porn with thick paged glorious printed magazines. From there it was internet porn and now it's just pictures or my own imagination as my personal spank bank is 100+ chicks deep.

An entire lifetime filled with porn and not a single problem.

Still average every other day or 3 days as i like to throw rope and a 3 day build can hit her in the face.

frys180 · 2016-06-18T03:41:48+00:00

This is definitely a 'results may vary*' type of thing.

One thing I can say is that after no fap, I feel overall more energetic and motivated. However, It doesn't affect my sexual performance. I can still get a stiffy in a heartbeat and be ready to go no problem. Now, there's a caveat to this. The type of porn I like isn't mainstream at all. It often involves girls having their clothes on and is almost never direct fucking.

Details if you're interested.

I feel my choice of porn by happenstance doesn't have the unwanted after affect of subtly influencing me to only be interested in porn-related events. If anything, I find face to face women much more attractive than porn women. For a myriad of reasons.
