Is it possible to be satisfied sexually with porn alone?

How do you mean? Porn is not real - it's just sex vids, you're not really there but maybe sitting isolated in the dark or with the window shades down somewhere. Will you get off? Yes, but how satisfying is that when it's not real, it becomes just a sex addiction instead of the real thing. One thing I've gotten from going through most of these forums, is the aftereffects are always bad and bring you down. I have to admit that I just relapsed today and I feel like crap now, just like always. I'll keep coming here each day anyway, always something to learn and hopefully overcome. In short to your question, I would say no.

 

If you could be satisfied by only masturbating to porn no one would be on this forum and it wouldn’t exist.

If you aren’t connecting to another person then you are alone, and from everything I’ve read and been told by therapist is that no one is happy and fulfilled alone. I also feel this is true in my own life. Trust me no one has tried harder to be happy alone than me. It doesn’t work.

 

well i dont believe PMO is a secular belief kind of thing so much as a personal journey thing. im sure there are atheists who do feel bad after PMO, as well as im sure the opposite. addiction is addiction no matter whom or what you believe in. I believe in God and i have my reasons why i am on this path, and im sure you will find many people of different beliefs that are on the same path.

in regards to your original question, i personally do not think PMO can satisfy having actual sexual interaction. nothing beats being with an actual person.

 

Has everything to do with being human and addicted, you have no special status or exceptions either way regardless of your belief system.

 

Not true. It satisfies me sexually but it does horrible shit to me and has destroyed me in a lot of ways, that's why I wanna stop. Its like a drug, it has huge effects on a person but in terms of it satisfying them while they're on it, it works. That's a part of why they get addicted, they just want that high all the time because it feels great.

 

In my experience - porn just satisfies my urge, but not for long, and it's not the real thing. Like a packet of chips vs a luxury vineyard dining experience, porn will never = sex.

Then there's paying for sex, feels real because it is, but deep down you know (and she knows) that it's temporary and you didn't earn it.

Finally you have real intimacy with a person you care about, that's the flying high in the clouds and totally satisfied feeling we all want!

 

I thought about it last night, sex is not love - and if you spend your time obsessed with sex and feel crappy, there is not much room in your life to be open to real love. I'm on the same boat, it's a bad addiction, but it can be overcome.

 

Chemically speaking: no. A neuroscientist named Stuart Brody did a study in 2006 about the present levels of a protein called Prolactin after subjects participated in various sexual activities. Prolactin is a good way to measure sexual satiety, and it is secreted from the pituitary gland after having a sexually satisfying experience. The experiment compares prolactin levels after masturbation with pornography and after penile-vaginal intercourse (PVI). Prolactin levels were almost 400% higher in (both male and female) individuals who engaged in PVI than in individuals who engaged in masturbation with pornography. This suggests that PVI is far more sexually satisfying than masturbating with pornography.

There's no way that porn alone will ever satisfy you sexually. Sexual satisfaction comes from nurturing a meaningful relationship with someone you care about. It comes from emotional intimacy, knowing one another on a deep level, and trust. You won't find any of that from your computer.

 

hearing you speak like this gives me no hope, this shit is hard af

 

Yes it is, sorry for such a negative view - but if you're here you're trying to change and give yourself some credit. There is hope but the struggle comes first, then peace. If it was easy, then NoFap wouldn't exist.

 

Hi I'm new to the website and this is my first forum. In my opinion it satisfies many in that going through all the speed bumps and trial and error when finding a suitable sex partner, you just look for the pornstar/s that fits your idea of the 'perfect' woman and imagine it was you she's doing those things to.

 

It's true what you stated...you do feel crappy relapsing after a few weeks of holding firm, but it always give you motivation to be stronger and to concentrate on doing it less and less.

 

It gets you off. That’s not the same thing as being satisfied sexually or satisfied in general. You don’t look back on masturbating and feel happy and warm. Sex with a partner to whom you feel connected, safe, and loving towards can be looked back on as truly satisfying. It makes you feel whole and a part of something bigger than your self compared to lonely and empty.

 

This video will help you , no joke.

 

I don't think it is possible. Because really what you want is the touch of a real person. It's just a guilty pleasure. Eventually you are going to feel bad about it, because you know its not real and its not that healthy.

 

Don’t give up bro

 

no, we human social animal we need to feel emotion and fapping to some random Japanese girl countless times I am not satisfied sexually.

 

it is not natural possible to be satisfied by pmo but this is the problem, we for years abused so much of porn that our brain is got used to be satisfied by porn, brain has become desensitized by natural sex and by this way we are on this forum because we want to reboot this condition and being stimulated only by natural sex and not by artificial, virtual one
