Surprised that there aren't many discussions here about this, just wanted to share my experience with the whole nofap (masturbation) / no porn. I personally was never a porn addict, but probably watched daily or every few days or so. My friend introduced me to the nofap movement, told me that he quit porn and how it helped him perform much better. I obviously thought it was ridiculous, just like how everyone else seems to think it's ridiculous when I tell them about this. Most people embark on this journey to increase their sexual performance, eliminate ED (erectile dysfunction), increased confidence and a whole bunch of other benefits nofap seemingly offers. I know of many people who watch porn regularly and have no problems in bed, so if that's the case this is probably not useful for you.
I didn't really have ED, but I did suffer from Condom induced ED, which apparently a lot of men suffer from (when the man loses erection upon wearing a condom). Upon wearing a condom I used to lose my erection, every single time. Also when I'm unstimulated for a short period, even when I'm with a beautiful naked chick, I'd go soft once in a while. This was extremely annoying. Usually with SPs it was okay as long as I relaxed and played with them, I was usually good to go. When I'm with civilian girls, they tend to freak out and think it's because they are not attractive (I was told even SPs think this). They all tell you that this is all in your head, you're just nervous...
I thought about it and I realized I wasn't nervous, I've been with many girls... In fact, I was so not nervous that I felt like I was not as excited anymore to be with a naked lady. The sight of a naked lady should be a pleasant experience. But after watching so much porn, you get desensitized to real naked bodies, especially when you watch different girls with perfect bodies every single day.
So I tried it. No porn, no masturbation for however long I could do it for. They say you should aim for 90 days to reset your brain from the stimulation, but you can still have sex (some people abstain from orgasm) as long it's a real experience, nothing virtual. It's been 15 days since no porn, I noticed around 1 week in I was having erections very often, especially when I woke up. My libido skyrocketed! To test the waters I saw a few SPs, 7 days in and today (15 days). I was hard 100% of the the hour in both sessions, instantly from the second I saw her body. Condom did not phase me one bit, slipped it on like it was nothing and went straight to action. I used to be so scared to take off the dom, because putting it back on the second time was a huge risk to go soft. Now I have awesome BJs in between sex, slip on another dom like it's nothing! Also for some reasons I last a lot longer, I think if you constantly go soft/hard, you don't last as long.
I think it's mostly the porn, since I did masturbate once, also it's healthy to released once in a while to keep your prostate healthy. For some people it took months before they noticed any benefits, probably because they were so heavily addicted to porn. Like I said I was never an addict and it was quite easy for me to quit porn, I did not yet have any desire to watch porn again. Today I have proved to myself that this is definitely worth doing and I can happily delete my porn stash that I have worked so hard to accumulate over the years
