I stopped watching porn about a decade ago. This year I found myself being pulled to online chat forums. I would meet others, begin a sex related chat and it would end with both parties climaxing. I recently found myself having problems with ED and wondered if the compulsive use of online chat was a factor? Please share your thoughts. Thank you-
I would agree that I’m creating an artificial dopamine delivery system. I’m now 8 days in to quitting sexting and riding out the flatline period.
Thanks everyone. I have noted that my penis seems to lack sensitivity during sex. I’m not able to feel much of anything. Is this due to the flatline or something else?
Let me get this straight. You went a decade with no porn. My question is, did you make a full recovery in that time? Were you having healthy sex with a partner? If you went a decade with no PMO and you saw no return in health, sorry, but there is something else going on. How long were you on the chatrooms for after being a decade porn free? Now you're back to square one? I feel like we are missing so many details...
Hi there - just to clarify, I did have a decade of no PMO and saw all the benefits. I had a healthy sex life for a decade. It was just recently I found myself falling into online chat and feeling the negative effects in my sex life.
i did pmo for 25 days but i haved positive results, my skin got clear, eyes got more beautiful, more energy, less hair fall and many more.
yeah my dopamine levels were back to normal and I was getting more focused towards my goals and study, more attraction from females, more energy, better sleep, clearer skin. It has a lot of benefits. I broke my last streak without looking at porn and stuff, I left porn and now going to leave masturbation.
Go 6 months, the false beliefs of short term benefits are dangerous. When you hit 2 month mark flatline you're getting disappointed.
Hi everyone - Just an update. I started this mid February and am now at day 21. I have noticed benefits though it may mostly be psychological: I’m guilt free, I don’t feel like I’m hiding something from my partner, and all of my sexual energy is focused on our relationship, not some “side hobby”. I also feel I’m adjusting to the dopamine high the sexting was giving me. I’m wondering if these fairly recent positive benefits came quickly due to the fact that this wasn’t visual porn but it was sexting? Share your thoughts.
