Porn Induced Erectile Dysfunction?

[MrsKellyPierce]

lmao - I don't know if it holds baring or not..but it seems quite a few males agree.

or have had the problem.

It is basically desensitization.

Happened to me a couple of times, both times I took a long hiatus from watching porn.

Waaaaaaaaay past 29 here, but I find that watching porn bores me incredibly. Nothing real about it, it's mostly repetitive and mechanical. I'd rather see a nice girl in the flesh and make her enjoy herself. She doesn't even have to look like a porn star to get me going.

Not uncommon at all, in fact it's why you hear so many guys talk about having to go through a porn detox from time to time so they're able to be aroused by a real live WOMAN.

Watching too much porn can contribute to premature ejaculation also.

Watching porn makes me hornier around real, in the flesh females, and trannies, not less so.

I don't really get it, but whateva.

Whoa! I went to see my Chiropractor this morning and we actually talked about this very subject towards the end of the session. She is a very good friend of nearly ten years so she knows all the good and bad stuff about me, including that I once watched tons of porn.

She had told me about this once before but I just laughed; the whole process of getting an erection is complicated stuff inside the body, and so many factors such as stress, alcohol, lack of sleep, a slew of medications for blood pressure, anxiety, etc. can be the culprit.

I was extremely skeptical of the porn-sabotaging-an-erection argument but I do believe there must be some validity to it now. I think about being in my teen years and discovering Dad's Playboys and those things being gold, but once you find that VHS tape with the girls in motion you don't go back to the mag's because they don't give the same excitement. I think hi-def extreme porn on DVD these days is too much; sex just never happens like that in real life.

Whatever...I would never make a rule to not watch porn again, but I am thrilled that I am in a phase of my life where I might watch once in about two months. I never would have believed that was possible but it is true. I do worry that my current sex-drive might be too low, but I am happy to not be chasing sex, seeking a relationship, or feeling hooked on porn.

I am enjoying putting my energy into pursuing my career goals and the other things I like about life such as making music, writing, Photoshopping, doing martial arts, etc. I worry that I am too young to be so uninterested in sex/relationships but I love the empowerment and security of being immersed in Keltic's world.

It's a strange thing to say, but I hope I can somehow continue to feel this way forever.

I think I agree with your feelings. I look at porn stars as sex-athletes more than anything else. The girls can look more plastic than human and many of them say the same shit with the same inflections. The dudes are often clueless and clumsy, if not violent towards the ladies.

It's getting more and more difficult for me to find scenes that truly look good to me.

*raises hand* Yup. However, since I have no-one to impress at the moment, nor am I looking, it really doesn't bother me.

what does this mean for franklin?

Porn is the most addictive of drugs because it releases your brains naturally occurring opioids even more effectively than Heroin. just like any other drug some people can enjoy it as a causal user with little or no negative effects. Others become addicted to the extent that there are unfortunate consequences - ED being just one of them. I imagine it's very difficult to recover from a porn addiction since most other drugs leave your system over time - porn images/audios stay locked in the brain forever acting as triggers for relapse at any moment. Hypnosis and Neuro-linguistic programming(NLP) therapists have done some interesting work on how to "reprogram" your brain to eliminate many types of addictions and or unwanted behavior patterns. might be worth looking into if you are plagued by such demons.

^^^ that is interesting Maarc very interesting.
