    Recently I've been struggling to masturbate. I've decided I'm not going to watch Porn anymore and I've struggled to finish ever since. Basically, I feel that Porn is damaging my sexuality and I want things to be natural again. Any advice?

    Hmm, porn is damaging your sexuality? Id be curious to let you continue on that a bit.

    What I do know is that porn can sometimes be a good thing to help one get off, but when used chronically over time we kind of build a dependency on it in order to masturbate. A good idea is to do what you are doing currently, stop watching porn for a while, maybe read erotic fantasies, create your own fantasies in your head, or whatever, so that you dont become dependent on one thing. I find that I often have better experiences if I can come up with my own stuff anyways. :slight_smile:

    You are not alone,

    what do you mean it is destroying your sexuality? Are you saying you are straight or gay or what?

    My advice is to slightly stop watching too much porn, because if you stop immediately you may have a big urge to watch it again. Just watch it less and less until no more :slight_smile:
    Also there are other ways to masturbate instead of using porn
    Lots of people use their imagination.

    If you're "struggling", with or without porn, then you're probably not doing it right. If you're masturbating, and you don't appear to be heading towards orgasm, just find a spot to stop...and then stop. Get dressed, go do something else. And when you feel yourself getting really horny, give it another go.

    I didn't explain what I meant by damaging my sexuality. I think I'm finding it difficult to have an imagination. Its also very fake and unrealistic. Its fine in small doses but I've been watching it nearly every day since I developed. TyRawr, if U wanna know what i mean completely, i actually wrote a blog about it. Might be a bit nuts but it makes sense

    I'd like to reiterate what Lex has said, stop when you get tired/bored then try again when you're horny. Your problem is probably that you're masturbating too much at the moment, so your hormones aren't really building up. When you're really horny, it's much easier to orgasm.

    From now on, don't look at porn or any arousing images, eventually you'll get very horny and I'm 100% sure you'll be able to orgasm without porn. It depends where you want to go from here, if you want to make it easier to orgasm without porn then I'd suggest no porn for quite a long time until you're able to get off without it easily. Otherwise if you think you're okay then occasional porn is fine.

    All the best.

    You are associating Porn with Masturbation to the point where you can only get off on porn, you need to break the cycle, think about a hot Guy that you fancy, he may be on TV or someone you know in real life & try & imagine getting intimate with him & what you would like to do to him, imagine this while Masturbating & see if this works :slight_smile:

    it hasn't damaged your sexuality. It's just that you don't have something you're used to, give it time you're body will adjust.

    You can try using a picture of a hot guy, or save it up for a few days then give it another go
     
  10. I agree with Dublin Boy. Imagine some guy you think is really hot is in bed with you. It actually works pretty well.
