STOP WANKING OVER PORN. - special if you are a Punter :)

[poi]

Ever wondered what all that porn you’re watching is doing to your brain?

Yeah, you. You right there. I’m talking to you. Don’t act like you don’t, because we all know you do.

It turns out all that pornography you’re watching is doing some bad shit to your brain, according to several studies.

Both having sex and watching porn releases dopamine into the brain, the neurotransmitter that’s responsible for reward and pleasure, and the more dopamine you release, the higher your tolerance becomes.

So watching excessive amounts of porn causes you to become desensitised – leading you to need a bigger hit to get the same effect.

A study published in JAMA Psychiatry in 2014 found that excessive exposure to porn dulls your response to sexual stimulation.

This means that heavy porn users need more extreme experiences to get sexually aroused – because they’ve become so desensitised they struggle to get excited by ordinary sexual encounters.

In other words, porn is creating a generation of men who are terrible in bed, according to the report.

But wait, here’s some more bad news: watching porn may also be shrinking your brain. The area of the brain linked with motivation and reward response shrank the more porn a person watched, according to the study.

Researchers from Cambridge also discovered by scanning the part of the brain that lights up when porn addicts are shown sexually graphic material is the same that is highly active among drug and alcohol addicts.

So there you have it, science says: STOP WANKING OVER PORN.

UK Punting would like the researchers from Cambridge to run some experiments on how the 'rewards' sector of the brain inflates after a quality punt, and shrinks after a disastrous one.

"porn is creating a generation of men who are terrible in bed"


After spending 20mins licking a girl's arse while she gently moans, then fucking it, then cumming all over her tits which she licks up and shares with me...I'm terrible in bed? 

(I am bloody myopic though...) 

[Marmalade]

It gives a reasonable explanation of why I don't necessarily find a lapdance the best entré before going 50 yards round the corner for a blow job.

Porn is not all bad, especially when it's used not necessarily for a wank but just five minutes of it to get you in the mood before a punt.

You mean, I should stop aggressively and violently jerking off to my favorite Faye Reagan masturbation scenes?

Not sure that makes sense! If anything it would make them more adventurous in bed wouldn't it??

[Clanger]

Woefully misrepresented data. I hate newspapers.

It's true that if you overdo anything you become desensitized and get less of a kick, but what the anti-porn brigade are doing is conflating the memory of the excitement you may have felt as a kid at seeing porn for the first time with the duller experiences of adulthood; in reality, if you were to see porn for the first time as an adult, you wouldn't get the same "hormone rush" as you would when you were much younger, sadly it's all downhill from about the age of 16, you are at your sexual peak around 14 - 17.

And there's an opposite balance on the spectrum too; you can also gain more enjoyment by learning more about a new sensation or experience. Music for example;  If you listen to the same thing over and over, it can get boring, but on the other hand your enjoyment of any particular kind of music can increase through exposure. All things in moderation.

[RNinePunter]

Nice bait.

[hungrypunt]

I agree with Clanger "all in moderation" BUT...Without sounding like a wet lettuce, this is how I ended up punting, I was watching waaaaay to much porn and getting a red raw bell end, ho ho. I always wondered why over the years I felt like hardly much interested me like it used to, and sometimes even felt downright depressed, but when I was in the US seen this (link below), and thought fuck it, pack it in.
Anyway the solid hard on is back, the missus gets more attention, my business motivation is back and booming, that previously all didnt really matter to me....all because I was a greedy fucker with all the free porn, I feel a different bloke now 100% guaranteed.
its a little long winded but stick with it

I love wanking over porn, sometimes its preferable to a punt so I shall be continuing to do it rather than listening to some studies that didn't include me, only I know what effects me. In my case its not led to me needing more extreme experiences to get aroused.

[vw]

I expect knowing these things they studied 3 guys all with feminine hands and drew their conclusions. Wanking has no effect on my punting or non punting activities many be I have immunity.

[LL]

I don't think I can stop wanking over porn. Besides. I've done my own studies that contradict the one you posted OP. Based on tens of thousands of wanks over many years. My conclusion is...
Ok I haven't come to a conclusion yet. I'll keep researching it until my cock falls off or I'm too old to get it up.

[AgedCases]

Gotta admit, after 30+years of hand shandies, I've never gone beyond a copy of the Daily Sport to satisfy my urge.

However, I do know a bloke who began viewing online porn, became desensitised, sought out more outrageous stuff until he downloaded child porn. Lost his job and did time.

I don't disbelieve your story but there's more to it than what you've written. Watching too much porn does not turn a normal person into a paedo.

[np500]

Used to use porn most nights, helps one sleep, since started punting hardly ever watch the stuff, nuts need to be well stocked, nothing in that report you didn't know already if you think about it. I'd rather thay spent the money on the females ability to squirt, why most women don't Evan know thay can, what is the fluid, ware does she store it before release, what is in the fluid and many more q's about the feat in question, seems one of those sexual activity's no one will speak of ???????

I think there'd have to have been some disposition towards peadophillia anyway. To most people, they'd never let their curiosity get the better of themselves.

As for the general issue of this post, online pornography and the insensitivity it may create may be more of a danger in a relationship or a marriage than to blokes seeing working girls.

In reality this bloke was already interested in child porn, watching regular porn of whatever quantity over decades does NOT have an established link with a person then seeking out child porn, if it did I would be doing so but aren't as I am interested in adult women NOT children.

[milfwklover]

I reached that conclusion over porn back in February. Ridiculously heavy wanker with stacks of USBs full of clips of my favourite stars/scenes. Just decided that I'd had enough of playing with my todger.

Works out expensive though if every time you feel the urge, the browsing of AW begins. The first couple of punts after I'd stopped jacking were fantastic, but I've had some real rough ones where the urge has come on and I've had to settle for a 4th/5th choice punt cuz I couldn't wait.

[portable]

Everything in moderation. 

[Wilson85]

I'm still undecided about this.

I have wanked to porn then gone for a punt with a new wg the next day and had no problem. Other times with my favorite regular who I really want to fuck nothing works except after a really hard BJ. Very annoying.

It's very hard to have the willpower to not look at porn for minimum of two months.

[LanceVance]

Porn is like booze or a flutter on the horses, do it in moderation and you will be fine.

[Malvolio]

Men have been masturbating over smutty pictures for centuries - it's a natural thing for us to do and I don't believe it does any harm as long as you keep it in moderation - and remember that punting is more fun.

[jcdmj12]

I've found the opposite in some ways - I used to really enjoy porn, but since punting regularly it doesn't really do it for me much.   My wank bank from punts is much more appealing.

Me too, got the urge yesterday as soon as I woke up (well was thinking about it over the weekend) and looked for green lights on AW, found a belting big titted 22 yo 5 miles from me, quick comms and sorted within 10 mins and 1 hour till take off. Up to the shower, shaving the bits, BASTARD....cut, wouldnt fucking stop...called her up, cancelled till maybe next week.
A wank it is then !

Schoolboy error.  NO shaving on day of punt.  I have done this in the morning when punting later in the day & lined up punt at short-ish notice after waking up with a boner.  Maintenance needed.  VERY VERY carefully with a new blade

A wank it is then !

+1 with the posts above  "Different strokes for different blokes" me thinks.  All about balancing things
There will be wankers [literally] who go punting once a year [or less] & bash for the other 364 days.  I'm glad they do
Having studied lesbo tube porn & in particular cunnilingus, i have learnt loads.  Works well with both civvy & paid for shags 

[Hawkwind71]

I am a little late on this subject so apologies, but I stopped porn about 4 months ago. Completely, my high now comes simply from the profile photos on AW. Before that I had started to have some difficulties when punting. I can now honestly say that I can achieve a state of arousal with just a few thoughts of my favourite punt rubbing her pussy in my face. I think the reason is because its current, its real and it's fresh. I limit self immolation to once a week to force the little guy to manage with less and when I punt now I tell you I swear it makes me as randy as a twenty year old with no problems, cumming in ways I hadn't seen in years. I know it's not the same for everyone but it is definitely worth the sacrifice for me, I have first hand personal knowledge that zero porn equals great punting. Onwards and upwards .....

[willmo1]

If I want a wank I just think of my fav past punts. Works for me. Porn dos nothing for me these days.

I've decided to quit porn and masturbation completely and will only cum when I pull a civvie or punt.

Think I'm gonna do something similar to you and not ejaculate from today until end of Jan when I will have a punt...5 months

Will definitely be paying extra for her facial on that day

Short, sweet, to the point. Solid punt fucking. Can't beat it.

[harry_aw]

I stopped watching porn too....if I wank in the shower I'm thinking of a real experience....also when I do cum with a girl, I cum alot!

[Black Horse]

I hardly wanked in years and used prossies to satisfy my urges. Problem was that the habit got completely out of control. Restarting a regular wanking habit has helped me get control of my urge to punt and cut down on the amount of money I had been spending.

Find it helps to try and ration time spent on AW or looking at porn.
