I’ll give you the rundown on how porn helped me EQ.
Timeline: June 2016 - November 2016
-EQ was awesome, I was PEing, and could get 9 level erections just from thought. I did not watch porn at all, kept it all natural.
November 2016: EQ tanked. Plummetted like an anvil. I could not get past a 30% errction from thought and stimulation easily, and when I did, the erection would go down within 5-10 seconds (completely flaccid).
December 2016-March 2017: Resumed porn, since I thought I had prostatitis, and thought the only way to “clear blockage” was to bust a lot. By March, I was able to get up to a 70% erection with stimulation. Not good, but better at least. This was with daily porn.
March 2017 - Current
Back to no porn, I prefer edging from thought. Able to get a 90% erection from thought (takes a lot of focus though, but I never stop practicing).
I connected poor EQ to the reading news daily. When you wash your mind with stories of shootings, racism, sexism, thievery, and other such trash of society, it can do no good. I am a poor inpressionable 20 year old, so it took me experience to learn that. Never burden yourself unnecessarily, it is horrible for your mental health. Definitely had dark thoughts for a few months.
I fixed this by training myself to think how I used to as a kid, cause growing up (mentally) sucks.
With regards to the porn, it only served as a basic temptation to primal urges to force an erection as best as I could just to bust. But in the end, I would say socializing with real women, and appreciating their naturalness is exponentially better for your health.
I am the kind of person who admires women as a whole, instead of a piece of Filet Mignon with tits.
In the end, porn helped me, but I would say you would be better off without it. Being human, the only way to get better at something is to practice, and never neglect it. The more you train your stimulation to be based on normal things (fantasies and real women), the better and more resilient your mind will be.
Good luck, hope everything works out.
