Why no Porn and Masturbation. in Attempt at cutting off Porn and Masturbation

About a week ago, I found a website that claims that a possible cause for some types of erectile issues in men is Porn addiction and Masturbation. As ridiculous as this sounds, the symptoms and habits that many claim to have, fit me to a T, when it comes to sex with real live women.

In short, the theory says (they claim scientific proof) is that when men watch porn for an extended amount of time and jerk off to it on a regular basis, their brain produces a lot of dopamine and like any addiction, more and more dopamine is needed for the same amount of excitement they originally felt.

In time, in order to keep up with their dopamine (and excitement) levels, they need wilder and wilder Porn and fantasy to reach just an average amount of arousal.

At a certain point, which can be from months to decades of watching Porn and wacking off to it, when these men are with a flesh and blood woman, the brain does not produce nearly as much dopamine as they need to stay aroused, which is why, even if they can get a hard on, they have problems of maintaining it during real sex.

There’s a lot more to it then that, but if anyone is interested they can do the research themselves online.

Interestingly, it is claimed that a very large percentage of young men have been affected by this problem in the last 10 years or so.

Reading online forums, I was very surprised to read stories of twenty year olds and even teenagers experiencing the type of ED that I’ve had since I was a teenager.

However, there seems to be a sort of a cure for this. It’s called a “reboot.”

Talk about the punishment being worse then the crime. Not only can these men not have a normal sexual relationship with a real person, but in order to reprogram and “reboot” their brains, they have to stop watching porn or anything that is erotic in nature, but they also have to stop playing with their ding dong, and ejaculating by themselves.

Contact with real people is encouraged, especially an understanding partner.

So I’m going to give this a try. Surprisingly, even though I’m past 50 and have been looking at naked pictures and then moving on to porn, and been jerking off to it since the age of 13, my condition doesn’t seem as extreme as a lot of the young guys have. Supposedly this is because my age group didn’t have the variety and easy excess to constant porn as young people do these days.

A lot of these younger guys don’t even get “morning wood,” anymore, and can’t get any arousal unless they are watching porn.

In many cases they have gone to urologists, and a physical issue was ruled out. Same thing for older men who have gone to doctors to find out the cause of their ED.

In my case, I have never gone to a doctor to get checked out, aside from basic physicals and blood tests. My testosterone level is normal for my age, I can still get it up more often then not, but have an issue maintaining it during sexual activity. Which of course causes performance anxiety, which causes more performance anxiety, eventually to the point of just not wanting to even try. (Although eventually I always attempt to try again). Luckily, for many of us, the little blue pill and other pills have worked well as a substitute, but there are some side affects to it which are not pleasant, and they don’t always work, especially if one doesn’t plan their meals and alcohol consumption just right, prior to using the blue pill.

So, I’m going to try to go for my own “reboot.”

I expect to fail.

The plan is supposed to be, no erotica of any kind, or jerking off at all. I mean forever, and just get off with real people when the opportunity comes up.

It’s weird to see guys on forums complaining that they have “Failed,” or “relapsed,” after like 100 days or even a year or two.

How the fuck can you go that long, and then jerk off one time after a year, and call that failure? lol

Of course in most cases, their main issue is not jerking off, because some claim that jerking off is OK, but it’s their addiction to Porn that they have a hard time with (no pun intended).

That I really don’t think I will have a hard time with. I mean, as much as I have enjoyed looking at porn and dirty pictures for years, I don’t believe I have an addiction to them.

The hard part for me, will be not jerking off when the urge hits, and also not having porn type fantasies. As far as I know, fantasies are OK, as long as they are based on real situations with real people that can actually happen. You just can’t jerk off to them lol. So yeah, good luck to me.
