How are a lot of guys getting away with it?

every indivisual is unique on physical and psycological levels. something that working for u may not work for them and something that not working for u may work for them

 

What Brown Boy said. We are all very different genetically. Also there is probably a much larger share of people that are porn damaged that we realize.

 

I don’t know how but I have been doing PMO for years and also having sex with my wife and (ashamed) even affairs with boys.

 

I don’t know their private stuff except the sounds I hear but I know my dad has the same addiction and still makes love with my mom. Like. All. The. Time.

 

I cant say for certain, I'm not even sure how you would know for certain, but I'm pretty sure that most people who view porn dont view it to excess in the same way PMO addicts do, nor do they fall down the rabbit hole of weirder and weirder genres and formats. The reason we experience PMO addiction and others dont, the reason we experience problems and others dont, more than likely has something to do with us as people and less so the porn itself. The porn is a symptom of a greater issue that we need to solve, not the root cause. I think failing to realise this is why a lot of people dont succeed with NoFap; cutting out porn but not doing anything else would be like trying to lose weight by exercising but still eating badly, its a good start but its not good enough.

 

I was able to do both but I will admit what I did with my wife was not nearly enough and not the best quality and connection.

 

It doesn't matter at all. Don't compare yourself, it will only bring you down.

All that matters if whether you are affected yourself or not. If you are, you gotta quit.
Some people aren't and it doesn't matter why. I would guess that they have a healthy sexuality and see porn just like the occasional drinker sees alcohol. They don't do it all the time and can stop it anytime they like because they have an otherwise healthy sexlife.

 

Everybody's different. And age matters, too. In my 20s I could watch porn all day long and as long as it had been a good 10-12 hours since my last orgasm, I could have sex with my wife no problem at all. Once I got into my 30s it started to get a lot more difficult and I had to figure out what the problem was - thankfully I found yourbrainonporn.org.

 

I think some people don't obsess over it like we porn addicts do. I know a guy who says he watched porn everyday in his van, but he recently got his gf pregnant so I guess he doesn't have any issues. We didn't speak about the topic for more than a few sentences, but I assume he just watched a video his mate sent him then gets on with his day, whereas I used to obsess over finding a video that exactly satisfied my cravings. I guess that's the difference; some people just want to eat a cake with their coffee, whereas others have to have the perfect one, as it's all they've been thinking about all day. Then when they've had it, they just want one more, as what harm will it do...

 

Maybe they on magic pills coloured blue

 

Oh they work orite

 

Yeah when I had PIED I’d take these so that I knew everything would work when needed. You get a 4 hour window with them from memory, and knowing this fact made me anxious and made my ED so much worse. Man I’m glad I stopped porn, all of this nonsense is far behind me
