Day 0 Today, I decided to quit masturbating to porn. I will never watch internet porn again. The only source of sexual stimulation will be the partners of my choice. I have long suspected that there was a correlation between the erectile dysfunction I have been experiencing and my consumption of internet porn. However, I […]
Read More… from Age 27 – ED: I finally had great sex. It. Was. Awesome!
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. […]
A forum member shared: Few months ago I did a course on the power of the human brain – specifically the power the subconscious has on our daily lives. (http://www.pacificinstitute.co.uk/solutions/investment-in-excellence/) I only recently realized that some of the scientific ways the brain works – actually explain why porn recovery is so difficult . And the […]
Summaries of the latest research papers on video gaming addiction. I created a sperate summary list for “Internet Addiction studies“. As with food and gambling addiction, brain studies reveal the same major changes as seen in drugs (hypofrontality, desensitization, sensitization). Altered regional cerebral glucose metabolism in internet game overusers: a 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography study. CNS Spectr. 2010 Mar;15(3):159-66. […]

Day 7 Here is my story. I am 47 and have suffered from ED my whole life. Unfortunately for me I discovered porn way before my first sexual experience. From the first time I looked at it I was hooked (my brother left a copy of Penthouse out on his bed) as there was just […]
Recently I received an anonymous email from an individual who heard our show about internet addiction and did some follow up. He claims to have been suffering from this addiction for many years and came across a website which was able to help him get cured. Tonight show will feature the creators of this great […]
Did addiction politics leave us stranded on a slippery slope? Ever wonder why the brains of pathological gamblers, food addicts and video-game addicts have been studied, yet no one has studied the brains of porn addicts? We’ve certainly wondered—especially as one often hears the claim that the absence of studies is “proof” that porn addiction/sex […]

COMMENTS: From the study we can conclude- Nocturnal erections are testosterone dependent, but wakeful erections are not. Supplementary testosterone given to men with low testosterone had little effect on day time erections associated with watching porn. Erections from watching porn or physical stimulation of the penis involve a testosterone-independent system. In other words, they depend […]

From the group of studies below we can conclude: Nocturnal erections are testosterone-dependant (spinal reflexes), but wakeful erections are largely dopamine-dependant (brain). Supplementary testosterone given to men with low testosterone had little effect on daytime erections associated with watching porn. Erections from watching porn, or physical stimulation of the penis, involve a testosterone-independent system. In […]
