How many of you guys used porn/masturbated daily before PSSD?

[myusername875]

Just curious, how many of you?

[iggy131313]

Porn use and masturbation has nothing to do with PSSD...you could wank yourself stupid for a lifetime and all you would have is a sore wrist, or you could have never watched porn or masturbated in your life and get severe PSSD

Its irrelevant my friend, dont worry about that

Just curious, how many of you?

I agree with those above that it doesn't change anything about PSSD at all. I did before, and I still do now. I do it out of habit, and because I think it's healthy for your reproductive system to do so.

Why are you guys so quick to think that it isn't connected. If you have used porn for a long time, it could cause PIED (porn induced erectile dysfunction).

Have you guys heard of NoFap and Your Brain On Porn?

Read some of these symptoms:

Difficulty reaching orgasm with a partner (delayed ejaculation)
Experiencing greater sexual excitement with porn than with a partner
Decreasing sensitivity of penis
Ejaculating when you are only partly erect, or getting totally erect only as you come
Needing to fantasize to maintain erection or interest with sexual partner
Earlier genres of porn are no longer "exciting"
Declining sexual arousal with a sexual partner(s)
Losing erection while attempting penetration
Can't maintain erection or ejaculate with oral sex

WARNING: This has much sarcasm. Please read with that in mind.

Oh Sonny is gonna love (hate) this.

Yourbrainonporn.com has what I consider to be a completely ridiculous statement from an "admin". And I qoute:

"I've been fapping since I was about 13, I'm 20 now. But I was diagnosed with OCD when I was 16, and now it's gone. Completely gone."

"But the little things are even crazier. Now I get pleasure from looking at a sunset, or seeing beautiful piece of art. I have emotions now while before I was always numb. I would compare it to when I first got contacts for my eyes."

It's like those comical posters that say "Once I smoked weed, and now I'm gay". These guys cannot be serious, right?

Oh now they have another thread that's ridiculous:

"I'm straight, but attracted to gay porn. What's up?"

Hm. Maybe you actually are actually gay , or are aroused by both men and women (which is totally ok, and shouldn't be repressed if it's how you feel), and maybe, just maybe, porn cannot turn you gay? Just a thought.

"If you say you are heterosexual, then you are. Period." - Yea I don't think it works that way. You can't control your urges.

One final post that I find funny: "How do I cope with porn flashbacks?" - Porn Flashbacks? WTF?

[Sonny]

It's a massive load of bullshit. If you are too credulous, uneducated, and/or lacking in cognitive ability to understand it is pseudoscience, and why that is so, no fucks will be given this day or any other.

Sexuality and in particular masturbation are a cause of shame and embarrassment in many different cultures, particularly due to the influence of the Victorian era. The reason why they are considered bad/wrong in any given culture, will be couched in the most common form of bullshit in that particular culture. So take the US for example. Until fairly recently it was woven into Christian bullshit. Now the influence of Christianity is starting to significantly diminish in younger generations. So for these younger generations, in recent years, it is now couched in their most common and influential brand of bullshit. That is of course hippie dippy new age nonsense, pseudoscience, and alternative/natural rubbish. It's fueled by intellectual relativism and confirmation bias of the chronically stupid sheep who buy all this quackery with the pittance they earn working as virtual slaves to the same corporate overlords who convince them they must buy it. Every idiot on the internet of course has their own hair brained theory about this or that. One could use reason and empirical evidence to determine fact from fiction. That however, would require thinking which most folks can't be bothered to do.

Furthermore the ideas are utterly preposterous. Sexual fantasy is simply porn in your brain. Nothing but the media changes. Going in through your eyes and/or ears is no different to fabricating it in one's mind. Once it is perceived by your brain, reaching your awareness, it's all the same.

Masturbation vs any other form of stimulation is all the same to your brain. Where does it become different? if it's someone else hand? What if it's with a toy, is it different if you hold it or someone else holds it, or if a robot holds it? If you fuck the toy or it fucks you in each scenario? Any thought at all will clearly show how utterly ridiculous it is. Sexual stimulation and orgasm are good for you. Your body evolved that way. If it hadn't, we wouldn't be here. The randiest little bastards that fucked everything silly that they could get their genitals on, are the animals that survived and they produced more horny little critters, and the horniest little buggers that fucked each other silly all day are the ones that survive. This goes on and on, until you get humans. You are the product of generations of this. It's beneficial in all genders, but in those with a biologically male body there is the added benefit of prostate health. It also has a reproductive advantage. Not just the obvious urge to have coitus, but to release old semen regularly so every female encountered is given fresh sperm, which has a better chance of producing offspring AND of producing healthy offspring.

But if you want you can ignore science and listen to some neck-bearded basement dweller in his mom's house, who's too ashamed to touch his peepee because mummy said it was very naughty. Same thing right? All of science and reason, or droppings from the diseased mind of some nitwit who vows to never masturbate again after every time he masturbates. You see where I'm going with this?

[Maldoror]

I have to agree with Sonny.

I masturbated like a champ (lol) for 15 years and all it did was IMPROVE my sex life which was amazing.

The only way I see porn causing ED is in very specific cases:

a) Some guy watches a lot of porn and, for some bizarre reason, prefers porn to real sex and real women, hence can get it up with a real lady.

b) Guy sees all those giant penises and think that's the way they all look. Gets extremely self-conscious about his size, develops performance-anxiety and therefore ED.

c) Guy is into extreme porn, like shoving girl's heads in the toilet and making them puke. His wife only likes boring missionary position. Guy gets ED because his wife doesn't make him horny in the least.

Catch my drift?

The whole "porn fries your dopamine receptors" seems, as Sonny said, Victorian morality reborning as scientific jargon.

[Sonny]

Exactly, it's certain extreme cases like that. Having a death grip on one's penis is another issue. Someone in that habit wouldn't be able to have sex normally. They must gradually loosen their grip, until eventually they are doing it in a more normal way. Then at that point they will find there is no longer a problem.

[Maldoror]

Also, I remember reading a Cialis study which concluded that prolonged daily treatment could improve ED even after cessation. Which can suggest that having erections every day improves the health of your penis' tissues and arteries, a case of "use it or lose it".

If you have PSSD and have no sexual partner and no morning wood and don't masturbate you can spend years without having an erection.

Does that seem healthy to your penis? To me it doesn't.
