So, from the start of 2025. ive decided not to masturbate. After being someone who has done it more or less daily, for around 7-8 years (sometimes multiples times in a day) ive discovered that I have exponentially decreased in morning wood, and often enough, I am unable to keep it up during sex. I feel like being exposed to porn at such a young age has definitely affected my brain in the worse. Now, going cold turkey has made me realise, that when I did masturbate, I would always wake up with morning wood. This has been nightmare fuel for me as Ive been trying to promote testosterone production with what I eat and going to the gym. But this doesnt seem to help me with this. I have been woken up to me ejaculating, but not from a wet dream. I did some research and found out this is the body just recycling sperm and all, but it doesnt make me feel good.
Sorry if this doesnt make sense, I aint ever been good at story telling.
Do give tips on how I can disinfect my porn-infested brain. I do love my gf, but I feel like this brain puts up a barrier between our sex-life.

I feel you. I honestly don’t have a solution because I’m in the exact same boat as you. I feel what your saying from beginning to end and all I want to do is stop myself and be able to please my gf with out the use of pills. If anybody has solutions, ofc we’re on this app for a reason but anything else would be amazing.

ive been performing Kegel exercises and have been consuming foods that contain zinc and magnesium (these promote testosterone growth). I am currently working on including nuts to my diet to improve blood circulation.
I would try not to consume alcohol, and strictly consume water as your only liquid.
but as you in the same boat as me, I dont think these help us mentally and psychologically.
Just be patient. You’re brain needs time to allow itself to heal. You’re doing the right thing by not watching P. I’m not fully sure of the validity but a lot of people suggest using imagination as an alternative, as it’s less visually stimulating and trains your mind to work for it, instead of just being a passive viewer. As someone who’s been on and off porn for a good few years, It’s normal that when you initially stop watching P you won’t get morning wood as frequently and you’ll eject during the night. Try not to be too hard on yourself, that will only make matters worse.
I’m just starting to get off porn rn as well. It’s literally the toughest addiction I’ve had to get over. I cut drugs and nicotine completely. I also cut down on alcohol. Tbh this helped me with better blood flow. I also started drinking shilajit and taking mega men prostate and virility multivitamins daily and my morning wood has been stronger than ever. I feel everything down there is great and at its full potential, physically. I’m on this app because sometimes I overthink during sex and lose my erection, so I’m looking for some mental help. But try some of these things out, you might see better results physically.
Also, I would stay away from porn and just let your brain reset. It takes a bit of time I hear. But if you need to get it off and your girl isn’t around just use your imagination. I find it better to release when you need to naturally than to fight it. I feel like the addiction with porn made me get it off even when I was bored and not even horny, which kinda messed things up a little. Now I just do my thing when my body wants it instead of forcing it out of boredom and I’ve noticed more natural erections. I’m not fully where I want to be and still going through with my own journey but I hope this helps a bit
