Porn and your brain.

Yeh I quit too, It's been almost 12 hours since I last masturbated.
 
I cannot remember the last time I saw porn. There was a booby shot in the Game of Thrones episode my wife watched the other night. Does that count?
 
Not to be judgemental, but how often were you masturbating then if it's ''only 5 days''? If it's multiple times a day every day, then yes, it can affect your sex drive and even impede potency, but everything I've read states that like sex, masturbation can release the same feel good sensations as sex with zero side effects.

According to askmen.com though, you'd really have to be giving it all hell multiple times a day for it to be ''dangerous'', at which point I'd start saying that there is possibly something wrong on a mental level. But then again, the same article also states that excessive intercouse can also affect you in a negative way.

Everything in moderation, I say. Having one beer a day is fine, but don't drink a six-pack every day and expect to not have a problem.

Don't fret about your occasional one-man romp; start to worry if it becomes an obsessive part of your life.

Not that much! Only once or twice a day. But it was every day.
I agree, everything in moderation. But I've always struggled with that! Not a very moderate guy, usually.

We think you should go back to masturbating.

This video really intrigued me, I really think he's onto something. I found this and http://www.reddit.com/r/NoFap/ to be quite amazing.

If it had that effect on energy levels, then so would the same amount of sex. That however is not Gary Wilson's hypothesis. He claims it has nothing to do with masturbation, but looking pornography, which he classifies to include any nudity.

Then you'll find other conservatives who contend that masturbation makes an individual want more sex and is thus dangerous.
 
Porn does distort ones view and understanding of sex.
I don't think all the school children would be making cellphone videos if the idea wasn't implanted /inceptioned by the porn industry.

They film fights as well, but I guess that's because of their distorted view which was implanted the many superhero movies.

I was reffering particulaly to the gang rape cellphone stuff.
Where the distortion comes in.
 
I stopped doing porn many years ago due to to viruses I got. Had to reboot and reload my op system or do a System restore after every porn site visit.
 
I'll save you the wall of text & simply say that there are numerous studies showing the opposite too. i.e. Its beneficial. So you might as well pick whichever side suits you best.

I prefer jogging for an energy boost, but to each his own.

Measurable spike in Testosterone hits ~ day 7. So I reckon you've got a case of mind over matter going there...which is great too of course. ;)

Reputable places get their actors tested regularly. If you got a virus it was probably a fly-by-night porn shoot. :p
