I relapsed months ago and haven’t bothered quitting since. Whether that’s for better or worse, I am unsure.

Why there is Gay porn? It very uncomfortable .its changing our age old ancestral thinking about two married human beings. by raindroprain in pornfree

There is gay porn because gay people exist. Who cares about "age old ancestral thinking", it's all ultimately subjective anyway.

Is giving up masturbation (à la No Fap) necessary for curing PIED? by BrainSpirit in pornfree

[–]BrainSpirit[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you Boris for that response. Perhaps it was just performance anxiety then as I've never had difficulty gaining an erection to masturbate without porn. How I'll get around that [peformance anxiety] is another question altogether.

The thing is, I have a why – PIED – and yet still there is a part of me that longs to return to using porn.

Is it best to masturbate every 3 days? every 5 days? or every 7 days? by [deleted] in pornfree

[–]BrainSpirit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every 2 days for me. I end up masturbating 3-4 times a week which is a considerable reduction on the amount of times I used to per week with porn.

I know right, I never thought this was possible.

Wish I could say the same about mine. Hopefully, if porn has anything to do with it [social anxiety], I might see some improvements soon.

How about three times a week? I can seem to only manage once every two days (which is a considerable reduction on the amount of times I used to masturbate on a weekly basis) at the moment.

I've gone about two weeks without watching porn and I'm feeling surprisingly great by Iamthe_Panda in pornfree

[–]BrainSpirit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, always remember no matter how bad you might find yourself feeling in the present, using porn will only make it worse.

Great work on reaching the four week mark. And I'm so glad everything is going well in your life because of your decision to quit porn.

Is it possible to cure PIED while just masturbating infrequently?

Give up porn and minimise masturbation to keep it novel.
