Pornography use?

PrisonerOfLife · 2014-01-02T05:02:36+00:00

I started viewing porn on Windows 95 when I was 8 years old (true story). I'm 24 now with no experience with women. I know men who use porn in moderation who do fine with women, but for a hardcore addict like myself it acts as a replacement for sexual validation from women. Probably not the most healthy behavior for more social individuals to engage in but a schizoid individual like myself uses pornography as a tool for biological release that would be extremely impractical to pursue in women.

I find porn/masturbation to be a great substitute for doing anything of value in your life. It makes you lazy and complacent. That being said, I struggle to fap with only my imagination as stimulation, and I follow the rule of "Fap before making a major decision". So I probably do watch porn about once or twice a week. More-so during the summer when my business/job tends to pick up the pace.

Porn is escapism, it stops you from getting your shit together and fucking 2-3 times a week at least.

They're right.

Occasional use isn't a big deal, but I've noticed a massive difference in my general drive to do things, as well as my desire to approach women when the habit is brought under control.

As a 19 year old, fucking girls is EXTREMELY impractical and not worth the exorbitant amount of effort it takes, so I've settled into what seems to be a solid equilibrium: fap about once every 7-10 days and absolutely no mindless porn searching in between. Lets me turn down my sex drive, allowing me to focus on improving myself but without fapping away my drive. It just makes no sense to focus on girls at this stage in my life, and extremely moderate porn/masturbation use takes the heat off and lets me focus on school.

I think most folks will say not to stop masturbating, but, cut out the porn. Cut DOWN on the masturbating and you should be fine. However the biggest deal would be to cut porn out completely or use it on occasion.

I've found that I fap a lot more during my dry spells and during my times of weakness, compared to days where I'm just ballin, approaching, and having great experiences with beautiful women. Usually, I don't masturbate at all on my good days because I either think it's lowly and "I'm too awesome to do something like that" and I'm usually busy being productive anyway. But I'm my weak, depressed days, I just stroke it 1-3 times a day and I get no work done at all. It's sickening and I'm afraid I'm stuck in it right now.

It's a pretty good way to start the morning and end the night.

Meh, it really depends on you. Do you understand that real sex is nothing like porn? Have you tried not using porn for a week? Experiment and see if you see a difference and then go from there. Your sessions (to me) seem a bit excessive. If I did it 6 times a day, I'd be doing literally nothing but that and eating.

I grew up in the era before internet porn. I know this will come as a shock, but we still beat off constantly. It's the beating off constantly that can be a problem. So stop overdoing it. Focus on getting a girlfriend, because you'll get some really neat experiences. Plus if you are lucky enough to get a nice wife it has all kinds of benefits.. As an aside, I wouldn't trade anything to go back to the old system, though. Magazines and videotapes, yuck.

I am 27 too. Good luck dude. In the same boat. I started 'using' porn in 8th grade. IT does control me, though I can keep it down to one 2 hour session every 2 days or so. For weeks if I do not have internet access. The shit is fucked man. I have ED sometimes, not with the porn, but with ladies that don't measure up to some over-manicured video slut. This is wrong. I know so. I can't stop it. Not yet at least. I am Don Jon. I would probably start taking viagra before quitting porn. Or I need to take a sabbatical in a cabin in the woods for two years. Or never use the computer again or both. Shit is in your brain. You have to let it drip out slowly. And I am no virgin either. I stared fucking when I was 13. Just get over it if you can brother. Find someone or something or a mission. Really perhaps go on a hike for 5 days. Think about your motherfucking life. I should do the same. Probably won't though. But I should still have faith. Is a new year and all.

When single, I'll do it once every 5-6 days or so, and only when it gets really distracting that I can't focus on anything else because I'm thinking too much about sex.

Instead, I like to use that sexual drive/energy to go out and approach women. I've noticed that about 3-4 days after an orgasm, I really stop giving a fuck about things like rejections, and just DO the approach. I also lift with more intensity. I feel like a goddam animal, and it's great.

You'll have people tell you that they notice a difference by going no porn and no fap, others will tell you that it is a necessary bodily function that could result in health implications. I think the people of the latter opinion lack the self control to stop jerking, so they rationalize it away. I do believe that it is beneficial to limit porn and stop wrestling the one eyed monster

Buchloe · 2014-01-03T13:28:28+00:00

Honestly sometimes it's safer to just jerk off. When I'm horny I have a tenancy to throw caution to the wind and I'm more likely to do something stupid like get someone pregnant which I would definitely regret. But I do notice that porn negatively affects my sense of reality when it comes to women.

What is this?

B32DB08170 · 2014-01-03T07:45:27+00:00

As someone who didn't start until I turned 19 I must say that I was much more productive before I learned how to. I've slowed my roll now, but it can definitely become a problem is you do not exercise self-discipline.
