Reprogramming Erections?

I think this ties in to those who are trying to ween themselves away from porn, as it proves troublesome when one is too active in viewing it. Is it possible to reprogram/recondition yourself to get hard at more tame, normal things, like a normal person? You know, a girl with a hot, thick ass and killer body walking by at the beach, as opposed to, you know, four guys gang”raping” a tiny brunette.

‘cause as of right now, the regular stuff, in real life, doesn’t do it for me nearly as well.

“When I were a lad….” the best we had was a dog-eared copy of Mayfair, Penthouse or Men Only. If the pages were not stuck together :eek: we would swap them with mates. :)

We never had these erection problems. We never had any less fun that the young guys do with all the internet porn available now either. Heavy duty porn is not essential to life; try only allowing yourself fairly soft porn on weekends and the problem will maybe resolve itself.

I hope so, ‘cause with my new girl, I have trouble getting/staying excited for long, and she doesn’t lack looks, that’s for sure.

Example was last night, we were at a friend’s. The two friends went out of the room to go fuck, so we started messing around. We haven’t fucked yet, we’re waiting for several reasons (I know, unreal, right?), but we were just gonna start doing other stuff. I actually was hard, very aroused, etc. It takes me a lot to get into things these days, and I don’t know why. I even used to watch porn back in the day, since I was like, 13, so I dunno why it’s only an issue NOW. In any case, our friend walks back in (one of them), and she was just so drunk and just started talking to us. Obviously, I lost interest. The girl left after 10-20 minutes, and we went to go back at it, but I would NOT get erect again.

Is this an issue for anyone? I mean, I dunno what the hell is wrong with me.

Hey alma try to do a porn detox, dont masturbate, avoid porn brother. With time your sexual energy will be balanced and normal. Than you will get back that nice felling when you were young. Me too have these problens, but it get better when you avoid too much sexual stimulation via porn…

If I don’t masturbate at all, I honestly lose my libido even more. I think it’s best if I try to use my imagination ONLY, or at least softcore pictures, and force myself to get used to getting rock hard with those, not through video and sound and everything.

I wish it was the old days when I could just be happy watching some of my highschool girlfriends play their volleyball tournaments, and get off to that thought alone.

Uchhhhhhh, h8 my life

To be honest I also notice my libido improves a lot when I erase porn altogether from my life, and my happiness and mood also improves. I think this stuff might be more damaging than we all make it out to be.

Hey Alma, I have the same problem here with my girl and overall. I can’t get hard just by looking at a hot girl and if I do, it is not a rock hard erection but I started detox a week ago and at last today I can tell things are looking promising. Oh and my libido skyrockets when I don’t masturbate or watch porn for some time.

I would say that you should try focusing on sensation more than anything. Be very conscious about how it feels when you’re self pleasuring. You may want to look at this Dick Control the spreading technique can be a lot of fun.

Personally, I keep my emotion-based erections seperate from my ‘porno’ erections..
But my emotional ones are MUCH harder!

Try and learn to really get into the emotional side of sex, if you and your woman are close enough. For me, at least, it seems the natural and most powerful way.

Very similar life experience to mine.

Long time Internet Hardcore Porn -> Really warped views of things that turn you on.

I really vouch for the “Dick Control” posted by tombaldwin, it really does work.. But give it time, don’t beat yourself up if it’s not working out that night and move on. Stay relaxed and eventually, through perseverance, those simple things in life will stimulate you once more.

When you view porn someone else is having sex, not you. Think about what you are missing while watching porn. A possible splendor in the grass with your lady. A roll in the hay in the barn. Go out and enjoy a nice brisk walk in the Autumn mornings. Watch the leaves fall off the trees. Listen to the birds sing. Get re sensitized.
