Can i use porn for productivity?

Porn is valueless and can't be used for anything good. Best way is not to justify it in any way. Im sorry but that is what you are doing with this post, trying to justify consumption of porn. I doubt that anyone will encourage you with this idea because purpose of this forum is to quit terrible addiction called pornography.
You got sex drive by default and you DO NOT need porn to channel it, only way that porn will channel it is trough your dick which is in your hand.

 

I see your point but if you want to use the rush of aroused sexual energy for creative pursuits you might be best sticking to sexual energy sublimation (as mentioned in your other post in the general forum) without the use of porn. And honestly if I'm understanding you correctly there are some advocates of these practices who say you can use any means you see fit to create the stirring/arousal of sexual/creative energy but you'll not find many people here who will advise you to use porn as it goes directly in the face of what most of us are trying to achieve here which is the complete removal of the influence of porn on our brain and in our lives etc. There's nothing stopping you using (non-porn related!) fantasy or remembering personal experiences (which is what I do) to stir these energies etc but not porn (depending on your personal reasons for being here of course?)

 

It might be easier to some but honestly try ask yourself if there's part of you that is trying to keep the porn alive and is trying to justify that? And besides it might require will power but if this is a route you sincerely wish to take then will power is something you really will have to cultivate (probably as an absolute priority) Also I'm not convinced that using porn would require any less will-power? But really, you'll get no encouragement here to use porn!

 

go out……full srs.

 

Thanks mate, am here to help and be helped Check those recources out in other thread, I think they will be right up your street

 

Hi Ted. At the height of my porn addiction I thought much the same as you. I thought I had to have porn with my coffee in the morning just to get motivated, and I used it during my work hours thinking it motivated me or gave me a jolt of energy or inspiration. What I now know is that I was just using porn to get a dopamine fix.

This is probably a broad oversimplification but I have said it before: There are two types of guys here, the guys who are trying to keep porn in their lives, but control it, and the rest that realize they cannot control porn, so have ejected it from their lives. You need to figure out if you are one one side or the other. I can't handle porn, so it had to go. Completely. By the way, I am MUCH more energized without porn than I was when I was accessing it daily.

Peace.

 

Nope watching anything that is sexually stimulating is just feeding your brain to wanting more and will no doubt lead to PMO best just to avoid it completely mate, i even try to avoid music videos these days because most have triggers for me at least.

 

That's exactly what's happening. Stay strong!

 

Hi Ted, I can see you are a man who wishes to maintain an edge. I can assure you that neither porn abuse or keeping your dopamine levels high will make you perform anything better. It may feel like it now, but that is just the high of it; that is a false feeling. If I may gently suggest...try and avoid porn or anything like it for about a month. The point of that exercise is not to find an alternative way to keep your dopamine levels high, but, rather, to get them back down, low, to "normal" pre porn levels. Once you get rebalanced you will find all kinds of things that will motivate you in a healthy way. When I read your post I hear you saying you are willing to give up porn but not the high it brings. But, you need to give up the high, and once you do you will find you can do many things much better than you could while under the influence of dopamine. Dopamine is not heroin, in healthy doses it can be fantastic, but you need to get it back down to healthy levels.

Peace.

 

You can't fight fire with fire.

 

I will not try to argue with Ted_Mozby, not in the moral field or in the biological field (what I had to say has already been said by others).
What I can say is that I used to watch porn (or download bikini/lingerie/glamour/nude/whatever pics) and all my productivity went down the drain. I don't think that a research would be necessary to show that more than 85% of the guys here had the same experience.
