Yep, porn is bad for you

  1. I went on a five day porn binge with adult movies, followed by Internet porn. It included being up till 1:30 am the last two nights and ended 3 days ago. I PMOed at least 6 times and tried to have sex last night. I've been doing Kegels and reverse Kegels and felt like when I masturbated I can get it up on command with a rock hard erection. I listened to a new Audible book called "Sex: Erectile Dysfunction" by James Edison. It cited a study where just 1% of men from 18-25 had ED in the late 1940s and 3% of men in their forties had issues with ED at that time per the Kinsey report. In 2012, 30% of men ages 18-25 had issues with ED. It also stated that porn alters the dopamine receptors in your brain and effectively requires the pleasure centers in your brain so that your brain no longer sends signals to your penis to get you aroused enough for sex. Yeah, yeah, I know. All that info is on this site too. But I just wanted to restate it for anyone that doubts the negative impact of porn on your brain.

    I can unequivocally state, without any doubt whatsoever, that it has an absolutely HUGE negative affect on me. I tried having sex three times and had been able to a month as well as two months ago. Last night was a disaster. All three times I was able to get an erection initially but it shriveled to around 40 - 50% when starting or getting ready to start having sex. I was unable to get erect again. Fast forward to maybe 2:00 am and I'm hard again, but when I started having sex it dropped off to maybe 40%. Luckily after prolonged friction it swelled to maybe 50% as I got more and more aroused just before ejaculation. I was able to cum, a lot, but with only a 50% erection. I was unable to get her to come but I think she was really tired, even using my tongue and fingers. The third time was the same. Initial erection which waned to not being able to have sex. Horrible. Luckily I was able to get her off with my tongue. I'm still able to MO easily. That's what I'm used to I guess. I wander if prolonged masturbation is having this affect on me but I don't think so since I'm so easily able to get erection with masturbation.

    For whatever reason, porn never had this affect on me three years ago. But I'm now divorced and it definitely nails me every time. Gonna have to bury this horrible habit. I mean bury and kill it. It's having a horrible affect on my life. Plus it's a huge waste of time.
