About 1 month ago I met this girl an she came back to my place. We both got naked and i wasn’t able to get a proper erection. I was so confused and did some research an found out that chronic masterbation can not only give you social anxiety but it can also cause erectional dysfunctional problems.

I have now stopped masterbating for 2 weeks and all i want too do is go out and talk too girls. And also meet up with my friends more.

I know i have a long time before my brain rewires itself back to normal but seeing
progress has made me so happy.

For anyone out there who has masterbated too porn for a long time.
STOPP!!!!!!!
it is doing you no good mentally, physically and emotionally. Who knew porn and masterbation could be so bad for us hey?

I have read that it will take 30 – 90 days depending on many factors including your age , when you started , how long you have been doing it for.

P.S. Ive seen a ton of doctors and even got put on medication for a while for the anxiety but it didnt work. I cant believe that their isnt deeper medical investigation or knowledge on the negative health effects of chronic masturbation. If I knew how bad it would make me feel in the long run I never would have started!

I first started watching porn at around 9 or 10 years old (about 12 years ago). Sneaking my dad’s dirty mags and surfing on a now obsolete mac. Porn and masturbation have always been quite prominent in my life especially because of my lacking love life.

I never really sought out an answer until a few months ago after I broke up with my girlfriend (I haven’t had many). I went to clubs and bars. Tried meeting girls but no matter what I did, I just could never get the courage to talk to a girl. Even when they’d ask me something I’d give them a short answer act all awkward and uneasy.

Then Sometime in there, I went camping with my buds for a week and we shared a tent so there was no beating going on in there (at least I hope not). We got back to the city, it was a saturday (hadn’t done the dirty for a week) and my roommate wanted to go to an old friends birthday party. With no time to relieve the tension, I accompanied him.

As soon as we got there I noticed and so did my friend, that I was getting attention. Something that never happens. I thought I had something on my face and no one was telling me. The night continued and it seemed almost automatic. I was talking to girls that I didn’t even know! something that I would have never done before. I spoke with this one nice girl, took her to the dance floor and just started making out. I was like a different person.

I didn’t really make the link until I choked the chicken. I was so damn excited from that night that when I woke up the next morning I masturbated. Almost immediately I noticed the depression kicking in. It was at that point that I realized that masturbation and porn were effecting my social life. The following days I was back to my good ol’ ‘no eye contact, i’m not good enough’ self.

I jumped on and fell of the wagon many times since then but have noticed the fluctuations being mimicked by my social life. Today I’ve set my personal record of 8 days haha. I feel like I’m in withdrawal as all I can think about is having sex. I’m so freekin horny! I can’t even focus on my job!

When I read this post, a light turned on and now it seems to make sense why. I’m realizing that it’s a sacrifice that I’m going to have to make if I ever want a healthy sex life.

If anyone reading this is in the same boat as I am, stay strong and keep your hands above the covers.

Thanks for giving me a light at the end of my tunnel
