What was the challenge like?

Interesting. There was a time where basically just the idea of opening porn would start getting me hard, then when all this happened and I lost my erections a few years back I’d have to physically use my hands to make myself hard

However just now, while watching porn I got hard and remained stiff through the porn video. I then went away did, trimmed my stache freshened up came back, started the exercise. From recreating the video in my head and mindful touching of my body (not penis) I noticed I began getting hard, it was semi hard and that’s when I began going down with my hands and slowly became completely stiff. I finished then as well.

I think I need to work on my imagination area and staying focussed, I noticed myself wandering off and spectatoring. Need to work a bit more on that

It was very weird for me. I came but without a full erection. Like some have noted, might be best for me to steer clear of porn, or use sparingly (I do enjoy it, but it no doubt has a very powerful effect on my mind). I’ve been doing these exercises very diligently and almost see this as a step back.

I have been to avoid porn but wanted to try the exercise any way. I was different approach to my normal maturation habits and therefore was pretty great! I understand More about my touch than before so I am happy I tried it. :relaxed:

It’s really easy to get hard by watching porn, the real goal is to get hard rock without it.

I didn’t force anything, and didn’t get hard during or after watching porn. I became slightly aroused after but stayed limp mostly. I think the problem is that I approached this as an exercise and was not in the mood when I started. I made it through the 10 min of solo play, but obviously didn’t cum, didn’t force it. So I put it away for another time. Will try this again, but next time instead of porn, I’ll just recall my last sex episode

Didn’t watch porn as I have scarred myself away from it and I don’t enjoy looking at it. I was able to do the second part imagining a real life experience with my partner without doing a death grip, going slower and using my opposite hand following on from the explorative touch and I got such a strong erection and was so turned on that I continued until I finished which was very powerful. As some others have said, I feel like watching porn would be a huge step back and recalling/imagining a real life situation with partner but following the same instructions was fantastic.

This was the first time in a long time that I didn’t see watching porn as a negative. In fact the exercise of modifying the fantasy to my own was really powerful. I did find myself reverting to my standard techniques, but tried to keep myself in the moment and mixing things up.

it’s nice and feels great, but still to finish I need a pretty tight grip at the end

Got semi hard just watching, but I was way more aware of the sensations when I had to use my imagination.

i had a hard time getting hard without touching myself although i know i can, maybe spectatoring. I definitly got semi around n almost completely hard hen touching myself, not in the usual way either although i was sort of at times but stayed away.

I’m realizing my body really needs more exercises like this because it shuts down for anything sexual due to past religious trauma. I don’t usually get hard with porn, but I found something I really enjoyed and got me going. I was going down by the time I put the porn away, but got it back with touch and I even think some reassuring talk that speaks to my personal narrative helped.

I didn’t get hard watching the porn but was able to when masturbating. The new technique/speed felt lovely but after a while I started to lose my erection so reverted to type just to cum. Basically if I get hard I feel I have to cum.

I don’t get aroused from porn, definitely not hard at least without touch. I found it frustrating that I got an erections from the previous exercise where there was no pressure to get an erection, but I couldn’t get one when I wanted it

Fairly hard at first, but was could not maintain without touching for the full 10 minutes.

Taking my time

Wasn’t especially aroused by the porn. Only got semi hard and was a bit bored, which surprised me. When I switched to touching I became very hard very quickly. I was able to tie different bits of fantasy to different types of touch, and it was a very intense and enjoyable experience.

Was awesome, better than auto-pilot

The images running through my mind were very arousing. If there was one thing I still need to work on is my mind wandering.

Never watch any kind of porn so this exercise isn’t really relevant.

Didn’t get hard while watching porn. Felt things stirring though. Couldn’t stop myself from masturbating in the after session. Got in to my head too much.
