Is porn corrupting society?

[Lily Adler]

Are we changing this thread to the Porn Lounge?

 

[Legendver2]

I guess it's more the effects of porn on society than just the topic of corrupting it. But yea sure, it can be the porn lounge

 

[Warhammer]

If this turns into the Porn Lounge, all we need are two or three posters listing their favorite porn stars until a mod wipes this thread off the face of the forum. A conversation about how good Felicity Jones' ass looked in the Rogue One teaser got deleted in the regular lounge. And those were just compliments.

I think I'm a late bloomer in that my sex drive really kicked into high-gear within the past year or two (I'm 23, for reference). Supposedly the average male sex drive peaks around 18 or so, at least that's what I've heard, but that has not been the case for me. As such I feel the desire to get physical with my girlfriend more often than I used to, or if that is not an option, take matters into my own hands.
I wasn't aware of any potentially hazardous effects that PMO would have on my drive, but it has me interested in taking a bit of a break and seeing what happens. *********ion is something that I view as something that can occasionally be beneficial so I might not try and cut that out entirely, but pornography needs to go. I don't see any benefit in continuing down that path. Marc Maron has a good stand-up bit about getting "porn brain" and that's something I certainly want to steer clear of.

You cutting down on the marvel fappin' too?

I wanna take a minute and complain about how weak pr0nhub's latina section has been for the last year or so. Latina women are my weakness and what I feel is the ideal women. They needs to step it up in that department.

Bruh, Abella Anderson. Hngggg! Oh, and if you're familiar with one Mia Khalifa she went to the same high school I did. Sadly it was several years after I left but I thought that was interesting and I'm in no way surprised that Polk County bred a porn star haha.

You have to talk about it like you would superhero movies to get the loophole.

I'd let either of them corrupt my society. t:

I used the thread title, is that good enough?

Jynx Maze is a top 5 of all-time for me.

And now this thread is going straight to the banished lands.

Below is a good testimonial from someone who recovered from porn-induced erectile dysfunction.
http://www.yourbrainrebalanced.com/index.php?topic=28828.0

There was a lot of skepticism from posters here that this is a real phenomenon, but personally I find the anecdotal evidence overwhelming, where the rigorous scientific study is still preliminary due to lack of funding. I think this is clearly an issue for many people, and the questions remain how many people, which people, what the distribution of severity is, and what the precise mechanisms are.

This guy took a year of abstaining to recover, and it was kick-starting by meeting a nice girl.

I have fully recovered from PIED.
How do I know?
EVERYTIME I go to have sex with my girlfriend I get fully hard and it lasts the entire duration of sex.
I'm talking about 100% erections.
I use NO pills to help either. No vitamins, no extracts. Nothing. 100% natural.

I used to be at a point where I couldn't get hard, at all, for another girl. Even girls I've tried 20+ times with.
I had so, so, so many failed attempts.
I suffered from some of the worst PIED.

So to make a long story short, it started when I was 22.
I noticed I couldn't get hard anymore for multiple different girls I was sexually attracted to.
Lasted for 2 years before I found YBOP.

Before my ED I had sexual relationships with 3 girls, from 16-21 years old.
Collectively I dated them for roughly 4 years, (obviously not at the same time), with active sex lives.
Then PIED began.

I watched porn routinely (maybe twice a day?) from 15 til 23 years old.
Never anything super hardcore or weird, but frequently as ****.

I started by completely removing all MO.
From June 2013 til January 2014 I cut out all MO, then gradually reintroduced it in moderation.
Around late May/early June of 2014 I started seeing a girl who would later be my girlfriend.
Things started off slow, which I really needed, but within a month we were on sleeping terms.
There were multiple times that I failed to get hard enough for sex, but with rewiring I started seeing MAJOR improvements.
By one month of rather consistent rewiring (kissing, fondling, cuddling, sexual encounters) I was seeing prominent success with my erections being achieved and lasting throughout sex.
During that time, my erections would sometimes drop down to 60-70%, or go completely flaccid before coming back, or fail entirely, but improvements were seen.
By three months the issue was almost entirely gone.

It's been about 10 months with this girl now and for 6-7 months my erection problems have been 100% non-existent.
Every time we get sexy my dick works perfectly, and I have no ED/DE/PE issues at all.
ANY position we try I stay at 100%.
While initially recovering I would go soft during doggie style, especially if we were standing, and this NEVER happens anymore.
I am 100% capable of sex in any position, any place, any time.
I never flatline anymore, either.
I always feel sexually satisfied, not flatlined or empty.
We can **** 4 times in one day, (yes, we have a pretty active sex life), and I never feel drained, or worn out.
Obviously at those hardcore moments I need time to recover before I am sexually active again, but it's like a day at absolute max.
I can also *********e again multiple times in a day (3-4) without consequences.
Essentially I can orgasm as much as I want without consequence.

Recovering for me was very non-linear.
And honestly the only way I could figure out if I was recovering was when I was with my girl.
Towards the beginning, sometimes I would feel 100% flatlined, it felt like no way in hell I could achieve a ***** that day, and then suddenly laying next to her it happened.
So never judge your progress unless you have a girl (or guy, if that's your preference) to test it with.

I was very fortunate to have a girl who didn't freak out when I couldn't perform, and I attribute most of my success towards her attitude.
I also attribute rewiring to be a major part of my success, even more than rebooting.
Anxiety was the worst thing for me during my recovery.
But with a girl who didn't get upset, anxiety was non-existent, and recovery became easy.
I never have anxiety or performance anxiety anymore. I am always just 100% excited and happy before sex.
Honestly, more girls are okay with this situation than you'd normally believe.

Discovering I had PIED and my journey to curing it was the most difficult thing I have ever dealt with in my life.
I was suicidal, morbidly depressed, extremely anxious and a complete ****ing mess.
If it seems like it is an impossible task for you, please do not despair.
I had 100% flat, non-existent erections for the hottest girls in bed, constantly.
Now that never happens.
YOU WILL RECOVER.
YOU WILL RECOVER.
YOU WILL RECOVER.
It is 100% possible.
It may not happen immediately, but it WILL happen.
I have gone from the complete worst PIED to 100% cured.
The past 6-7 month now, zero erections problems in the last 150+ sexual encounters I've had with my girlfriend.
We have sex at least 5 times a week. Usually around 10, no exaggeration.

http://www.yourbrainrebalanced.com/index.php?topic=13306.550
This is my journal, starting on the top of page 23 is where my story picks up into success.
It is very detailed with how my recovery went, step by step progress for myself, I journalled all of it.
I journalled a **** ton, and honestly my first 1-22 pages are an emotional rollercoaster of pure ********, so I don't recommend reading it.
It's a total **** show, lol.

Sorry for the long post, but I feel like all of this was important information.

If any of you have ANY questions, PLEASE feel free to ask me.
I want to be able to help if you have any questions.

((EDIT: I feel like it's important to mention that I get erections easily with my girlfriend.
Kissing will make me hard.
Fondling her will make me hard.
Watching her undress will make me hard.
I don't need any stimulation to get me going, it just happens on its own.

Obviously kissing out in a public place I'm not going to get an erection (sometimes I do ), but if we are laying in bed (or in another appropriate sex place) kissing will get me hard.

Also, quitting porn has also made it possible for me to fully enjoy a girlfriend.
Before I would watch so much porn that I thought I was missing out on so much sexuality in life.
I was never fully satisfied with a girlfriend because I thought there was so much more out there for me.
I thought there were endless hot girls to have threesomes with.
There isn't.
That was the delusion of porn.

I am capable of having a very loving, full, and happy relationship with my girlfriend that I wouldn't have been able to have using porn.))

No... No one has said that over doing it with self stimulation cannot have bad effects. It obviously can. That's a whole other thing than saying that the mere existence of porn causes men to *********e and they have NO control over that impulse what so ever.

And I think many would say that, yep, that is in the mix as to a person's actions when it comes to over consuming porn and over doing the self stimulation. Porn's mere existence is not the final word on a person's actions. Just as I think that there's noting wrong with weed and alcohol existing because the fact is not every single person that consumes those things becomes automatically a useless pot head or homeless drunk. So to with porn. No one is saying either that people don't get addicted and reap terrible consequences. But exercising some self control will never not be in the mix when these issues are talked about in my opinion.

I showed a testimonial of someone with control over his actions who got better, and you start arguing that you have a problem with those saying people have no control over their actions.
