    One of my friends opened up to me the other night when we were both drinking and admitted he has been addicted to porn for years. He actually thought it was funny to put the porn he watches on his big 64 inch tv. It was only on for about 5 minutes though before I was telling him to put it off.

    But I thought the stuff he was mainly in to was really weird. It was hardcore but also weird.

    But the thing that I don't understand is how can my friend of been addicted to porn for years yet he has a girlfriend and gets laid regularly. He has also had a lot of sex in the past with other women.

    But then I have issues like PIED and have struggled to maintain an erection good enough for sex in the past. But then my friend has also been a big porn addict for years and has no issues having sex.

    I guess I just don't understand this.
     
  2. Some people are more prone than others. I grew up playing basketball and I had a friend who didn’t spend half the time I did training my legs to jump, but for some reason his vertical was always superior to mine, it was genetics, he has it that way, I don’t. What did I do? I trained harder and matched his vertical.

    You can’t sit around and feel sad for yourself because your stuck in a hole that others are not in. The first step to getting out that hole is to accept yourself and the mistakes you’ve made, address your problem and look for the best solution.

    Once you find out what the solution is, and how to get there, make the commitment and never look back.
     
  3. I don't think he's actually addicted, some people use this term without it being accurate
    And I think an addict would be kinda ashamed to tell anyone about it, he will actually deny himself being an addict
    So I think he may not be addicted, maybe he likes porn and watch it regularly and that's it, most guys do this
    Anyway, just focus on yourself because everyone is different, standards vary between people

    After 15 years of watching porn I still can have sex, even regular. But not in the same way, like other people. I can't get erected by visual look.

  5. I am 34, been addicted to porn since I was 17 - only this year I started getting some minor PIED issues, of course I get laid regularly but my erections aren't as firm and hard as they are when watching porn.
