what you think about this effect

One of my close friends thought this when we were in our 20s. He suggested that if I stopped watching porn (VHS tapes back then) then I would have more desire to get a real girlfriend.

I attribute my problem to being a late bloomer and social anxiety. I bet there are instructive videos on youtube about picking-up girls. It is like fishing. There is some luck involved, but there is also skill. You just need to study the problem to make-up for being a late bloomer.

 

Not masturbating might make a person more desperate and willing to take risks, but if that person lacks skill then the efforts will always fail and make the person gun-shy. A person might have better luck by being less desperate but more skillful.

 

Yes, I believe PMO can have this effect. Your not a late bloomer because you like porn. Your getting what you want from a computer screen and yourself. Why go after a girl. Completely free yourself from this addiction.

 

You’re absolutely right. I too tricked myself into thinking I was a “late bloomer” and that’s why I hadn’t had many interactions with girls. Wrong. It was because of porn. Going out and interacting with girls was too much work for my lazy ass and especially because porn was easy.

 

I believe porn does have this effect, with specific regard to social skills. Many who have started at a young age and ahve done it for so lokg usually only rely on that for anything, they dont have many friends can be awkwrd with girls and such. When yiu get rid of porn, you start channelling all that energy elsewhere. Theres countless accounts of guys who have stopped and felt the desire to want to go talk to a girl, and have been successful. Now obvuously you have negative thought of you approaching girls, but that doesnt mean your social skills HAVE to be brought yp by talking to girls. Makw friends and go out more. Hang out with guys learn to talk to different people amd naturally youll be more confident and take on that obstacle of going up to a girl. It is terrifying but its easier than it seems. But start with skills that you know you can develop now. Also, direct that energy into exercise. You have a broad opportunity at any gym to speak to many people, girls and guys.

Porn is easy and it makes you feel ok with everything and yeah you can choose any girl, soze, look and get off with that. But its not real.

 

I totaly agree that this effect is real. I got offers for one night affairs and dates too but a refused 99% because it was such a hard work while porn was easier with the same effect(O). So yea I lost a lot of potential chances because of it.

 

Yes man, porn changes you. It is like you said. If I want to watch a specific kind of porn I go and do that, this is bullshit. It affects our brain.

 

Porn has this effect, of course now you can't really prove it, but you can try now and see what happens
