Is sexual exhaustion a thing ( caused by too much pmo)

Discussion in 'Porn Addiction' started by Deleted Account, Jan 21, 2020.

  1. Put it this way , you find a new genre suddenly all the lights go off in your brain, you find yourself getting harder than ever, and become hooked.

    For the next couple of months it's multiple times a day, then you find yourself getting less aroused, you start having a day or two between without pmo , but come back to feel like hit again, but it's never quite at that level .

    Before you know it your doing it for the sake of it and hard ons and orgasm aren't anything special but the habit is formed.

    About a month later , your sexual urges are almost gone , only a compulsion a habit ,

    You've jerked so much and don't leave it more than 2 days that your Johnson feels thinner , and morning wood is more semi/ soft .

    Does this sound like sexual exhaustion, is porn frying my brain on all cylinders .

    It's crazy how pmo , can rattle your system
     
  2. Yes it's real. That's what happens when you PMO or MO multiple times a day for one or more hours at a time.

    I was so sexually exhausted from compulsive PMO or MO that I even masturbated with a limp dick (I couldn't even get erect but I needed to O) more times than I can remember, desperately chasing an orgasm that just wouldn't come.

  6. No offence but if you even ask this questions you're not quite in touch with the whole problem here, haha. Of course it does, as people have pointed out. And more. It thins the hormonal juices.

    How limp was the dick, if you don't mind me asking? Shriveled up like a small acorn/prune shape?
     
  9. Not that bad no. But shriveled up for sure. All beaten up. Even with porn it would remain completely flaccid. Sometimes it was semi flaccid.

  10. This is adaptation, not exhaustion.
    Icream once in a while is delightful, eating it every day is dreadful.

    Our brain has straight forward way of working, when you encounter something new, you do not have an efficient way to process the information.
    Because we evolved the ability to learn our brain activates a mechanism that makes this process of exploring new information rewarding and this allows us to enjoy learning.

    You can visualize this in terms of activation potential. When people do new tasks that they never did before, their brains light up, in an attempt to figure out new patterns, they are clumsy and ineffective.
    When skill is well learned, same activity results in minimal activation and only in areas responsible for the activity.
    So we begin by employing huge resources to understand and figure out what to do, then gradually work on reducing how much resources brain spends on this task.
    Eventually brain develops incredibly efficient pathway that spends least energy and produces best result.

    It seems that in order to facilitate learning, our brain gets a boost with verity of neurotransmitters and endorphins when it encounters something new and are forced to employ significant brain resources to solve the problem.
    Over-activation of the brain is basically the signal that - we need to figure this out, we have no clue how to solve it.
    This allows us to stay focused and learn instead of avoiding it.
    This is why we feel great when we encounter novel things.
    If you add pornography to the mix, then what happens is novelty over-activates the brain while individual is already aroused and that induces euphoria.
    So you abuse sexual stimulation and sensation of novelty to combine them in to a high.

    The methods you use to get to this high only work while there is novelty, when novelty disappears you loose the "boost" to your normal sexual pleasure.
    Pornography acts like a stimulant on the brain, which is how majority of people use it - they supplement it with masturbation, in order to increase intensity of the experience.

    When novelty is gone you learned to process the information efficiently, and it no longer produces wide activation of the brain - you get no extra stimulating effects.
    To understand this - someone who watches an autopsy for the first time, will be hypersensitive and overstimulated, but after few years of doing related work - they become indifferent, pretty much for life.
    They did not fry their brain, they just learned to efficiently process that information, and it no longer has an impact.

    Mine has the acorn shape. It feels like flatline, but it’s not. One day after binging on porn, my dick shrank and shriveled up.

    I do hope that we have the same problem and that it’s from overuse from porn, only so I can have some hope that it’s nothing else physically damaging.

    Why does it say it would take up to 3 weeks for sexual exhaustion cases, yet after 3 weeks of abstinence (at one point), I still had my sexual exhaustion problems? Am I just a very rare example of an extreme case because I keep relapsing?
     
  13. 3 weeks , haven't done 3 weeks in years, my Johnson would probably be 1/3 thicker and 2/4 longer if I didn't fap lol wish I could stop this god damn habbit . When I NoFap flacid and hard are girthy and fluctuate between 3.5 and 5 " in flaccid on cold or warm day . when I fap it's beat to death shorter and thinner , NoFap it will go on like that for a while , could not be fapping for 2 weeks and still no change and it feels strange then.suddenly it returns to full length and girth , but if I relapse before this it just stays the same
