    Hi,

    This is my first post and first day here. I'm in my 50's and have had ED for 20 years... I've also been heavily into porn for 20 years. I figured out the connection a long time ago but I find porn so appealing I can't seen to quit for long. My other problem is porn is my automatic go-to when I'm bored and have a lot of time to fill.

    With that said- Other than, "Just stop watching porn". How can I work with this group and the other members to put a stop to my porn addiction?

    Thanks

    Dont ever do it out of boredom. If ever. You need a replacement activity. Pick up a hobby or something. Maybe an instrument, or a quick work out.

    You need to get your mind off of sex, especially the more extreme kinds, in order to be adequately stimulted again to acheive an adequate erection. What ever triggers you have, that causes you to get into that mindset, you need to get rid of. And don't allow yourself any wiggle room, or it will turn into a slippery slope. No 30 second porn-browsing just to check the thumbnails of new uploads. No passive pseudo-masturbation. No THINKING about porn scenes or associated acts.

    I believe the first couple of weeks are the most difficult. I've only gone two week, but I can already feel it's getting a lot easier. I don't think about porn or jerking off as much anymore. That's after 15 years of jerking it to porn regularly. It only took me about a week to regain my morning boners. Now Im on a NoFap journey, until I get back spontaneus erections and Im able to have a normal sex life again. Luckily for you, you started porn late in life, so your brain wireing is not messed up from the get-go. So you'll probably have a more speedy recovery than if you had started your 20 years of porn-fapping in your teens.

    I'm sure some of your ED is porn induced, but honestly at your age you may be looking at some physiological ED on top of that. Are you using any ED aids? Like Sildenafil, tadalafil, vadenafil, alprostadil, citrulline, arginine, penis ring?

    The thing that has helped me the most is to read as much as I can about porn addiction, PIED, PMO, Re-Booting, Flatlining, Re-Wireing, etc.

    Start with yourbrainonporn.com and rebootnation.org.

    The more you know, the better armed you'll be for your battle.

    Good luck to you!!

    These are all good suggestion. Also, you can considerate searching forma an accountability partner, someone to directly contact to support you.
    Personally, when I have urges I think to what I want, and to the feelings I had when something down there doesn't work properly, how miserable I feel. That keeps me strong in my commitment.

    Thanks for your detailed replies. Regarding my age- you are correct that some is probably due to that... But- when I'm watching porn and playing with myself I can stay hard for a long time, and it only takes a gentle touch to orgasm. When I'm with my partner she has to be violent with my dick to keep it hard or for me to feel ANY pleasure. Then in order to orgasm I have to take over being violent with my dick and jerk off with- her assisting. I do get turned on playing with her body- breathing hard, etc. but the hardon isn't there. Very Frustrating

    By The Way... When you guys are advocating No Orgasm as part of the healing process does that include with my partner as well? As I noted in my post a couple of minutes ago she and I both have to handle my dick violently in order for me to orgasm. Is it better to not orgasm with her for a while until (hopefully) some sensitivity returns? Or are you only saying not to jerk off when alone.

    To have or not to have sex during reboot is a controversial topic. Read here and there and take a decision for yourself, or even better with your gf! Anyway, if you want to become more sensitive down there you have to stop the death grip, be it from you or your gf. You are not able to climax without it? Than don't climax.

    your age has little to do is you are in shape and have healthy eating habits. I am in the same age group and if I dont PMO I can have all the erections I want and last. Which make my addiction even more incredible. There is something akin to self destruction in this addiction, I mean we are willing to be limp with our SO just so we can continue to feed porn. How sick is that??

    I'm personally doing 'hardmode' which is a strict NO P, NO M, NO O. Period

    I'm not going to look at porn again for the rest of my life, and I'm not going to O until I can get aroused with my wife, then O inside her.

    If you both need to handle your dick violently, it sounds like you need a good solid reboot.

    I'm absolutely no expert, believe me, but I've read many success stories where they went hardmode for at least 90 days. (Up to 6 months.)

    Look around on the web for PIED, porn addiction, PMO, Re-boot, etc. Read as much as you can, then make up your own mind as to how you want to proceed.

    Best of luck to you whatever you decide!
     
  10. Watch as many Nofap videos as you can. Plus read up on the neurological effects of porn addiction. It will give you perspective.
