Keeping off the smack (porn)

Despite my well intentioned plans of keeping off the smack, I gave in and went on a bit of porn binge. EQ went down the toilet. I think I was having some mild successes last a week or so ago when I woke up with a morning wood a couple of times, but that has gone now. Im 34 but been having EQ issues for a while now, since my late 20s. The other thing I plan to do is see a doctor and get a full check up.

How do you guys manage to keep off the smack? I find that I can do it for a while and then the need to get off comes back in avengence. Ive deleted my hard drive and stuff. One thing I am doing that helps a lot is having showers first thing in the morning and starting the day clean.

What do you guys do to stay on track?

Get a hobby.

I collect football cards and it takes up the down time I would normally use to look at porn.

Remember that even if you just have a snack you will likely end up having an entire meal

Keep yourself busy with achieving goals

Exercise

Don’t masturbate, or don’t masturbate to anywhere near the point of no return. Definitely don’t fantasise

Have sex :p

For me once I got past the first week or so my EQ went through the roof. I could obtain erections just by touching myself (which I probably haven’t been able to do since HS, I was raised on porn) and morning wood happened more often as well. This was award enough to maintain vigilance for the most part.

Sometimes I still watch porn but I try to only do it when the lady is out of town so I can have at least a day to recover.

I’ve been clamping everyday and so watching porn all this month. I’m bored of it now and it’s taking increasingly different sorts to really turn me on.

But well, I think porn is fine if you don’t watch it all the time!

Wow, I watch porn ONLY to do PE and have to fucking sort through volumes of useless terrible shit before finding something that gives me remotely close to a boner. If my wife walks into the room with a skimpy dress after 7 years of marriage I get a solid. I can’t understand people’s obsession with things they can’t interact with.

I look at pics of Jamie Eason to get fired up. shes is so sexy… then I use my sex fury to hit the weights.

So i build up and keep my testosterone level high… and pity the next girl I get my grubby mits onto. ;)

I had to get one of those cyber nanny things.

Porn?! Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me. Now what was that website?? xham….

Seriously, I keep myself so busy that I don’t have time for it. I guess that’s the key. Then when you do have sex, your EQ is off the charts.

I pitched all my dvds, TWICE!
That helped.

When I spent time watching the “smack” I picked up less women.
Once I realized that I stayed off the smack real good.

Computers and free sites don’t help things.

Is it just me or does it seem like a lot of PE’ers are current or former porn addicts?

I think a lot of guys are current/former porn addicts.

I am staying off it to at the moment as well. Actually permanently. Haven’t watch any for weeks. I have no problem with not watching to be honest. And for clamping I just relive my own past lol and add some stuff to it in my mind. Yeah, I have a good imagination…

Porn kept me in a failed marriage for 6 years, wasted 2 hours a day of my life and trained me not to respond to a real woman’s body. It is the devil for me. Your mileage may vary.

After a week off porn I got laid after 6 years of no sex. Check out the porn detox thread if you are looking for a support group and other people’s experiences.

How is it that people in the porn industry don’t get desensitised?
