The No-More-Porn Thread
Discussions about porn and the benefits of not watching porn keep popping up on this forum. This thread will be for all of us who want to cut back on porn or cut it out of our lives completely. And of course also for those who are intrigued by the idea and want to read along.

I welcome everybody to post goals and challenges in this thread, and to post updates about what effects you are experiencing by abstaining from porn (and maybe masturbation as well). Also, please post any informative links and videos that are relevant to the topic (crazyhorse?).

I'm now on my second day. My goal is to do no masturbation and no porn for 60 days! I'm hoping to experience increased energy and confidence and increased attraction to women as a result.

Let's do it. Smile

I'll join ya. I think I last watched a few days ago. But we'll say two days down. I've never been able to completely kick the habit, and I do think at times it has affected my sex life in negative ways. So I'm in. Not to mention I've been pretty complacent and lazy in the female department the past month or so, so this will get me to step it back up.

So 2 days down, 58 to go. That means January 25th I believe.

Ok, I'll sign in. No porn or masturbation for 60 days.

I have a buddy who did this(a natural) and he said he felt beastly around the 50th day. Walked around like a caveman without shirt and hitting on girls like it's the most natural thing in the world.

Oh btw, his lay count 4 years ago was 100. Probably a lot more nowaday heh.

I'll sign in, too.

Can't remember when the last time watching porn was, so I'll treat today as day one. Same goes for masturbation, also day one.

What is this an anti-porn army? Lol the "porn crew" is definetly taking over this forum, haha.

Tomorrow I'll post some helpfull links for you guys, but my porn blocker is a bit too aggressive and I can't view the website "yourbrainonporn" anymore Smile.

HINT: get a porn blocker! Else you will just fail, especially for people who spend a lot of time behind a computer.

I´m in

I watched porn yesterday for the first time in weeks so I might as well make it official.

As for masturbation, I will only do it before I have a date. So no more 30 seconds in heaven ^^

Link to a porn blocker would be nice.

Yourbrainonporn.com is a great resource. I had read stuff a while ago that said porn probably affects men's sexual health in negative ways, but that website was the first place I found that describes the science behind it convincingly.

I may do a blog post on this.

From what I've read so far, its not masturbation that is bad, but masturbation to porn. That link your brain makes when getting gratified sexually with the visual stimulus of porn is what can fuck you up and cause an addiction.

Just think of porn as cocaine. When people get addicted to cocaine its because of their brains making that connection to cocaine with great physical pleasure.

I've been 5 days without porn so far and I'm starting to get antzy.... any tips??

I'm in. I'm not so fussed about not watching porn; I kind of made the decision to not do it a couple of months back and I've only watched it about twice since then. I don't think watching it that infrequently is a big deal. However, I notice when I go back to watching porn after not watching it for a bit, a lot of stuff seems way too extreme and unenjoyable. I think that's a pretty clear example of how desensitized you can get to stuff, and that's not healthy,

I don't think I'll ever fully give up porn. I've watched it with a couple of my exes (one of them fairly regularly) and it's a lot of fun. Plus it can help get her in the mood if she's not feeling that horny, or just increase how horny you are. Removing the sad/lonely guy at his computer factor makes it a lot more enjoyable really. But I'm in to give up watching it without a girl.

I'm in, too.

Last time was about 5 Days ago, but I treat today as Day 0. Let's do this together, guys! This will be a tough time, but I'm pretty sure it will increase our productivity and our behaviour around women. So good luck to everyone who is in this challenge as well.

Here are some helpfull links

1) General information on how porn affects your brain

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKDFsLi2o...r_embedded
erectyle disfunction caused by excessive porn:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQHLF5BL9...r_embedded

2) list of withdrawal symtomps that you can expect
http://yourbrainonporn.com/what-does-wit...-look-like

Scroll down the page, they have a pdf where guys report all the feelings they were experiencing. The pdf is 25 pages long, if you want to be serious about this, I highly recommend that you read it.

mine were: very strong arm pit odor, ill temper, feeling down (sometimes), waking up 2-3 times a night always with morning wood, pain in my jaw, shrinkage of the genitals (yes this can happen! lol), no libido at all, very horny at other times.

3) linke to a web filter

http://yourbrainonporn.com/web-filters

I use net nanny, ths one has a free 14-day trial. But he is quite agressive, since I normally can't visit these threads Tongue. But I do know that you can send a request in order for a website to be accepted.

4) Benefits that you can expect

http://yourbrainonporn.com/what-benefits...hey-reboot

scroll down to read the pdf.

If you are really serious about this I highly recommend that you sign up at the "reuniting forum". I blog there under "High_Achiever" and I describe my process. The support on that forum is also really amazing! So it's highly recommended.

Yeah I won't click play on that video. I'm not that weak. Wink

Btw, when girls send me naked pics or do things on webcam, that doesn't count as porn according to my rules. I also think watching porn with a girl is different from watching porn alone... Not sure if I will do the latter in these two months, but I might.

@Lycan: It's a no-porn challenge, not a no masturbation challenge. Although if you want to cut back on masturbation, I often recommend guys cut down to 1-2 times a week to boost motivation and energy.

This is great, but don't we need to agree on a definition for 'pornography' first? Some will assume only videos of hardcore sex acts are out, while other will throw out their Maxim magazines. I realize that people struggle with different sexual stimuli, but the definition can encompass that. I recommend the following (which I read on another site that I can't recall right now):

Pornography is anything that you would immediately lose interest in after masturbating.

Sound good? Maybe you only mean to exclude hardcore video, maybe this will help someone. Either way.

you want a definition or pornography? Dude.... When I say no porn, I mean you're typical internet porn. So Halo's effec naked pictures from his girl arn't really porn in my book (see below). This is also something that everyone should define for himself.

@halo, naked picture from a girl arn't bad at all. haha I had the same last week. Think about it, 3 pictures from her don't you think that's a bid different then 5000 naked internet pictures. Just a comparison.

And yes you're genitals do revert back to their original size, they even get bigger. The only side effect that I'm experiencing now is that my libido comes and goes. This really sucks. Like last night, when a hot girl started hitting on me; By coincidence it was a tall brazilian girl. How great is that I'm 5f10 and she was at least 5f11. I like girls like that and she had amazing tits. But as I was saying libido comes and goes.....

@Mark. I've never been to south america are all the wome like that? lol, just curious after that video. Dammit fucking hot. I think we would all gladly trade up our current girlfriend for one of those. LOL jerkish Tongue

something that I've also noticed is that my urge to masturbate has greatly diminished after not watching porn so frequently anymore.

- The porn blocker works great, although he's a bit too agressive. I can't even watch this thread on my normal computer Smile

Lol! These are models dude. But I'd say that if you walk in a big city in some countries in south america is not super hard to see few women like theses among the general population. I used to see misses universe and misses world walking down the street in my city Big Grin
