My Journey to Not Using Porn to Masturbate

My Journey to Not Using Porn to Masturbate

It has now been about a month of not watching porn despite watching porn each day for the past 10 years or so. I have noticed some changes since doing so.

It Was Hard to Adjust

I had this fantasy that it wouldn't be a big deal to adjust to masturbating without porn. I was wrong. it was a huge adjustment. For the first few days I could not even bring myself to orgasm. It was like I was re-wiring my brain. I was moving from arousal based on sight to arousal that was completely different.

Positives and Negatives

My worry moving forward is that my orgasms are so tied to my emotional being that if I am upset or facing heart break I may not orgasm. The benefit to porn is that it makes it easier to orgasm without deeper emotional thought. You can get that high feeling and separate your emotional stress from the pleasure of the experience. Did my desire for sex change based on the style of orgasm? No. My style of sex did not change and my level of desire did not change. The only thing that changed was how I experience my orgasm.

Moving to a Female Orgasm

I jokingly have described my switch as going from a man orgasm to a female one. When I orgasm'd for the first time without porn it took over an hour. It was hard. The experience was no longer visual but an emotional one based on positive feelings and thoughts for my new partner. I was orgasming with my eyes closed and remembering intimacy with her. It was no longer focused on the nuts and bolts of body parts. Instead, it was almost spiritual in how inward the orgasm was. Over time, I no longer needed an hour to orgasm. Now I orgasm within 15 minutes or less. Just like porn, I can have the desire to orgasm over and over again too. Rather than having to edge myself to feel intense orgasms (like I do in porn), when I orgasm now, it is intense and all encompassing. All at once. Is this how female orgasms feel?

In the end, it did not change my sex drive, sex style, or treatment of women.

  • Congratulations. Now look up tantrum in google and it is totally achievable. I came 4 times back to back the o ty her night and only had ejaculation. A man can have multiple orgasms. I just recently learned it and it is great.

    • Dam spell. check. Tantric

    • I know about tantric sex. I practically it regularly. I thought everyone new about it?

    • you don't need tantra for this xD just dedication. i just tried it out for shits and giggles what happens if i don't stop fucking when i cum. it works suprisingly easily. it does need some focus and dedication though. it's not "easy". just easier than i thought.

  • It sure would free up a lot of time for more productive pursuits...
