As Porn Goes Up, Performance Goes Down? " recounted
that men were reporting erectile dysfunction in connection
with Internet porn use—even in their twenties. The response
was astonishing. The item has been read tens of thousands
of times, and numerous heavy porn users have confirmed
that they are indeed experiencing loss of erectile potency. It
seems that masturbation "ain't what it used to be." Free,
streaming, hyper-stimulating videos are a relatively recent,
and surprisingly problematic, phenomenon.
The issue lies not in viewers' perfectly healthy joysticks, but
in their brain's reward circuitry—and there is no quick fix.
Normal dopamine sensitivity in the reward circuitry is
critical to normal sexual responsiveness, and too much
stimulation appears to weaken the dopamine response of
many brains . To return to normal, the brain needs time to
reboot, without extreme stimulation .
Unfortunately, most porn users don't realize what's going
on until the problem is quite severe, because they naturally
tend to "solve" any erectile sluggishness with more extreme
porn (thus forcing the release of the dopamine needed to
achieve an erection, but also further dampening the brain's
natural sensitivity and their sexual responsiveness). Some
sufferers naturally resort to risky sexual enhancement
drugs, not realizing that they are only masking/worsening a
problem they can heal themselves. To illustrate, here are a
man's comments about his journey back to erectile health:
[Week three of no porn, masturbation or orgasm] For years, I
looked at porn and masturbated to multiple orgasms at least
once a day, beginning during high school. At university, I was a
computer nerd with glasses and no social life, though I played a
lot of sport. I'd stay in my room and study, play guitar or
masturbate.
Porn temporarily took my desire away, so I thought it was a
good thing, keeping me "balanced." I was proud that I could
look at a hot girl on the street and not feel the slightest hint of
arousal because porn had desensitized me. It was a way of
taking back the power that I believed women had over me. Only
much later did I realize how destructive this was.
Most of what I'd learned at school, in the media and on the
Internet said masturbation, and even porn, are healthy. All the
guys I knew were into it, so I never so it occurred to me how
abnormal it actually is in contrast with a natural sex life. As far
as I knew, masturbation had no downside, and viewing porn
was just something all guys do all the time. Many of my friends
still have this view.

I've had sex, but I've never really been able to relax
and enjoy it. I'm always nervous, and frequently have problems
getting an erection. My last orgasm was at the hands of a
Chinese massage girl and even then, I had trouble orgasming.
She was pretty and had an attractive body, but it took a long
time for me to orgasm, and she almost gave up. This is just one
example of how I've shorted-circuited my ability to become
aroused through normal means.
A hot girl could be naked with legs spread on the bed in front of
me, and I'd still need some sort of manual stimulation to get
hard. This really scares me. I want my libido back. I want to
feel normal again. I want to be connected with the rest of the
world and enjoy my life. I've been using porn to escape, and I'm
convinced it played a significant part in causing my past
depression.
Last year, I had a decent attempt at quitting porn and noticed
improvements. But I was still masturbating and reading erotica
during that time. This current effort is the first time I've actually
tried going without any orgasm or externally arousing stimuli,
and I feel that this is the key. It seems like total abstinence
would speed the recovery process. I would also point out that.


I BELIEVE THIS'S GONNA SAVE SOMEONE
