8-05 After a long period of no sex (2 years – potentially triggered by a traumatic life event) I decided it was time I sorted my life out and get with some girls. During this period my porn and masturbation use had risen to a point where only extreme and highly specific porn (e.g. 2 […]
Read More… from Age 24 – Delayed ejaculation & depression: 21 weeks
I’ve been using porn since I was about 16, and masturbated to porn twice a day on average. I didn’t really think it had any effect on me until I was 21, when I finally lost my virginity. The first time I didn’t have any problem getting hard, but I was unable to reach orgasm. […]
Comments: I wish we had the full study. This one says that for a correlation exist between high prolactin & high TSH and PE. Prolactin can inhibit dopamine and testosterone.

Many of the first-person accounts of porn addiction sound similar to my own story. My particular sexual dysfunction is not ED, but inability to orgasm during intercourse with a woman. However, it may be that I am simply at the first stages of addiction and the ED will come later, if I keep this up.

Read More… from Age 38 – Married: Delayed ejaculation quickly cured
Many porn users report that delayed ejaculation was a precursor to their erectile dysfunction. Years of porn use can cause a variety of symptoms, which when examined, lie on a spectrum. Desensitization of the reward circuitry is at the root of these various symptoms, which include:

COMMENTS: New large study reports robust correlation between greater porn use and “delayed ejaculation” (difficulty orgasming with a partner). One of the most common complaints from both male & female porn users is difficulty orgasming. Table from study: The Journal of Urology 203, no. Supplement 4 (2020): e615-e615.

Read More… from Can time to ejaculation be affected by pornography? (2020)
I did it, I reached day 90 of a PMO-free challenge. Considering my fapping history (25+ years on every medium you can imagine, in 30 countries, in every situation, even in public) it’s a nice feat and I want to take a moment to acknowledge that feeling of pride. Now, what do I see in […]
Read More… from 25+ years of porn use – I’m putting long-delayed plans into motion. (500 day update)
This symptom has been reported repeatedly. It’s likely that premature ejaculation is somehow related to dysregulated dopamine in heavy porn users. We associate porn-induced ED and delayed ejaculation with desensitization or what we call a “numbed pleasure response”. Desensitization involves a decline in dopamine signalling in the reward circuitry.

Read More… from Is my premature ejaculation (PE) related to my porn use?
This is normal. It’s a typical phase of recovery in men who have porn-related erectile dysfunction or delayed ejaculation. We call it “flatlining.” It’s temporary, but it can be very disconcerting, because it makes stopping porn seem like the cause of ED instead of the solution. (See accounts below.)
