I read on here that p0rn and mastvrbation can mess up one's vibe with women.

How does that work?

Porn desensitizes you to real-world female beauty and jerking off all the time you're just not as horny. If you're not horny you won't project the same sexual energy. In my experience chicks often get turned on by you getting turned on by them. Can't tell you how many times a chick noticed I had a boner and a switch flipped and she's DTF.

Well for starters is ruins your inner game.

It will re-wire your brain to associate sex with those images instead of the real thing with women.

It will also screw with your brain chemistry.

If you have this kind of habit, then I strongly suggest you stop asap

That sounds serious! Thanks for letting me know this.

I'll share with you a little bit of my personal experience.

Back in 2016 and 2017 I was working part time as a meat cutter at a grocery store while trying to get myself established professionally. Me and the guys I was working with bragged about our sexual conquests, especially the cashiers who worked there. One dude was into recording having sex and bragged about having this huge porn collection. I was never into that kind of thing up until that point but I had some curiosity. I did some reading on the subject and read into how destructive porn was and how much of a percentage of the internet was dedicated to it. I was shocked. Early in 2017 as a curiosity looked into porn and began watching it on a somewhat regular basis for the next ten months until later that year I saw some things that were pretty darn disturbing. I felt so disgusted by it that I decided to quit right then and there. I deleted all material and cleaned out my browser. I did not realize that I had an addiction until a few days later I had cravings for watching that kind of garbage. The realizations of my addiction strengthen my resolve to quit, and I did.

It took a whole month before I got my libido back to normal 100%. After that I started getting laid on a semi-regular basis, that is until I got married in 2020. The point here is that you can stop, and should do so right now. After that you can have a normal sex life (however you want to define that) which is 100 times better.

I don't know how much I can say on this forum, but to put it this way, my drive through the whole process is much more vigorus.

@DSterlen and @Plinco have covered some of the basics. The brain chemistry aspect that @Plinco brought up is probably the most element. The brain is the most important element. It can affect your arousal.

By doing no porn and no masturbation, your erections are ofter stronger and the nerve endings in your penis are better. There is no vagina that can mimic a hand, not even the tighest ones. Stronger erections and a better arousal process will help you with women once you get them into bed. This can help you retain women longer and not have to keep approaching in order to get laid.

You will be most aggressive in approaching 10-30 days into a no porn/no mbate period. After that, your aggressiveness wont be as high.

Overall, no porn and no mbate are better for you than watching porn and mbating.

Haha as I had a similar thread a while back, if you cut out any kind of sexual activity, you're going to blow your load so hard the next time you're with a woman. But since that's natural, there's nothing wrong with that. Just don't fall for the standard shvttest of "that was it?" Just ignore it as you lie there with a sigh on your face. Rest, then you guys go for round two. Most guys fail here, so they think they have to wank it and **** longer to make women more satisfied.
