A guide on how to cure erection problems in punting

[fantasticmrfox]

Think the zinc factor could be useful.....I know athletes take zma to help with testosterone levels, which subsequently helps with muscle growth, recovery, fat loss... You can buy ZMA from any health food shop...but with all these things its a combination of factors...no point taking ZMA then drinking six pints a night , sleeping 5 hrs a night then wondering why the boner doesn't work... I'm going to try it over the month ahead...clean living, zma..gyn and .....no wanking

[threechilliman]

I've been taking a 25 mg Zinc tablet daily now for about 3 weeks, and its made a hell of a difference with me. I now have a great urge to fuck pretty much all the time  , the erections are firm and long lasting, add in an increase in fluids has increased the size my loads which actually shoot now most of the time rather than dribble. This may or maybe not a placebo effect, don't give a fuck if it is as long as things have improved     .

Given the load I shot the other day I'm not sure I need the help, but hey, why not? On another porn ban atm, none for 10 days apart from a minor slip at the weekend. I'll keep you informed.

Currently on a porn/masturbation ban till May 8th when I reach Pattaya. 2 weeks. Going to Thailand on a full tank.

Cheers to everyone who's posted, this is a fascinating thread … even for folk who don't have erection problems … and certainly makes you think about your relationship with porn.  I remember the first "girlie" magazine I saw and the galvanising effect it had on a 13/14 year old, although I'm sure it would look tame nowadays.  Now you consider the videos readily available online, it's no wonder that some become porn addicts and experience the law of "diminishing returns" when things which once turned you on don't any longer.  Probably worth "easing off" a bit..

Yes, since reading this thread I've come to the conclusion that porn is something that a lot of us need to back off with it. I do find that if I steer clear for a few days,its amazing  what little it takes to cause an alertness of the senses by  what I see going about the daily routine  that would normally go pretty much unnoticed . Actually feel sorry for boys in their early teens these days with the amount of easily accessible porn, chances are they will have seen everything on screen before they ever see their first naked female in the flesh,can see that there will be a lot of cases of erection problems at young age caused by porn in the future.

Mine's an indefinite ban. Apart from one minor slip, all good so far. Determined to succeed this time.

When combating erection problems an holistic approach is probably the best one. No watching porn, no wanking, eat the right foods, excerise and use suitable condoms that are the right fit and give some sort of sensitivity, plus a well planned punt that leaves you looking forward to the booking...... Should help combat those problems.

[Juilius_Sneezer]

Get a fleashlight  and go to the gym 2 days a week or more . Do weights and some interval cardio

I only use viagra when I'm very drunk .

I have to agree on the fleshlight point, it definitely reduces the deathgrip issue.

[Ben4454]

Gave in last night. Back on the band wagon till may 8th.

[fantasticmrfox]

But Ben....was there any noticeable benefits given you've been abastainin

[seagull44]

Just wanted to add my thanks for this thread. I found it after ED spoiled what should have been a top punt, with a hot WG that I'd been really looking forward to. I'd never made the connection with my porn habits but it all makes sense now.

So, no more porn 'n' deathgrip for me. Feels like a sacrifice but it will be worth it to enjoy punting more

[uncle jessie]

Think I've found a happy medium regarding wanking over porn,and that is to just watch solo girl stuff and it encourages the input of your own imagination that you are fucking the girl, much better erections I find  and use no tight grip of course,unless you are imagining taking her up the arse

ZMA and a 'Therawand' worked well for me

[robocop]

I found that ZMA and a chicory extract like Inulin works well for me plus a regular workout in the gym (aerobic and resistance training).  Although some people think it is a load of mumbo jumbo a genuine holistic tantric approach can help too.  Not sure about a wand up my jacksie though!

[Estoril]

Just invested in a fleshlight and some ZMA.

See if I notice any differences next punt

How much did those 2 cost ??

[Juilius_Sneezer]

How much did those 2 cost ??

Fleshlight will set you back 40-60 quid if I remember rightly. Had mine a year or so.

[oring123]

zma ?  cost

Why inulin?

[Plan R]

I also feel that eating certain things to help your sex drive helps

Indeed. I always find that 24yr old Hungarian pussy works a treat

 Get them for half price at Holland and Barrett at the moment

great thread Op, can' t believe I missed this one. My trouble isn't keeping a hard on, its unloading. I've been with some lovely SP's and not been able to unload even with a wank. As one SP said "too much wanking, doesn't feel the pussy". How right she is. Today is day 5 of no wanking. I feel frustrated but I'm not going there as I hope to have a punt tomorrow.
Last time out I couldn't cum and was wanking for England despite having an expensive WG sitting on my face looking at the underside of her tits and I though "If I can't cum in this situation, I may as well hang myself". Still here guys 

So I'm stopping for the foreseeable future. Like the rest of you not sure if its really possible but giving it ago except when punting. 

[nervous1]

Brilliant thread that sums up what I've been suffering with for a while now.  At first I thought it was simply an ED problem until I realized that has never been the issue until actual penetration feeling numb and even OWO not doing anything for me.  I have ended most of my sessions by hand and even then it's no guarantee of a climax.  Viagra (50mg) has been a help but it wasn't making me feeling much more because it wasn't addressing my main problem.  Whatever happens I'm a bit worried that I won't go ahead with a punt unless I take one of them now which is an extra cost and likely completely unnecessary.

I don't have a fleshlight but another make which was a bit more expensive and really good.  After a week from abstaining from porn and ejaculating I used this last night and plan on repeating the same this week but will probably try the two finger thing next time as have been reading that you shouldn't be too reliant on one form of masturbating as that is as much of a problem as the deathgrip.  In two weeks I will go ahead with my next punt to review my progress.  Sitting on the bus a few days ago I actually had an erection that felt really good and it was like a reminder of how much a simple erection can be enjoyable in itself instead of being something that happens before I battered it with my right hand.  Definitely felt sensations that I have not felt in a long time.

I actually can't believe I went all these years without ever hearing about deathgrip syndrome.  You would think that being too rough with your penis is something that every male in the world should be warned about as the consequences can be very serious.  I've become quite jaded towards porn over the years so that has not really been a problem but many AW visits have ended with me knocking one off to a WG I've seen or plan to.  Psychologically I can't masturbate when I know there is no chance of meet ever having sex with the woman.  The last porn I watched was a few Emma Butt vids but that was actually because she was coming to town and I was doing some 'research' (decided to keep my £300 as a result but would like to meet her one day).

So thanks Ben.  You helped me big time here and I'm grateful for this thread.

It really does make me worry about all the kids today growing up with porn tube sites that's literally just a click away from google... all these guys with phones and computers in their bedrooms masturbating several times a day to unrealistic bodies doing unrealistic things to women and having totally skewed views on sex. I would not be surprised if we had an ED epidemic among young guys.

The longest period I have gone without porn for was two months, probably too long as the old man was so sensitive that I only lasted about 5 mins when the working girl was giving me a blow job, mind you she was very good at it! I'm now going without porn starting yesterday as I want to stop wasting my life away looking at the images on the old monitor. Have also bought a few cockrings and when combined with a blue pill guarantee an erection every time so far, I imagine that once the blood gets past the cock ring it flows back out at a much slower rate due to the constriction of the ring, one of the reasons they recommend that you do not use them for longer than thirty minutes at a time. Infact it makes for such a strong erection that a girl I visited yesterday said it was to big for her ( I'm only of average length, 6 inch is supposedly  average) mind you maybe just an excuse for her to not bother being fucked by me. Report on her later. Let's see how long I last this time!

[uncle jessie]

I have to agree on the fleshlight point, it definitely reduces the deathgrip issue.

I got a fleshlight today and although on the first use it took a while for me to cum but it was a nice powerful spurt and this thing will put an end to deathgrip, would have loved to shag the arse off the lovely little blonde girl with a great pair of tits who served and recommended a good lube to  me in Anne Summers as well  .

[MrAnderson]

This post has been very helpful.

I've adopted this going forward and am on day 3. I just didn't realize how much of a habit I'd  gotten into.

Here's to improved results!

Forget the Inulin that was put in by error ........ sorry.

[fantasticmrfox]

Training hard, but being realistic I'm not going to go overboard and totally cut out booze and fast food...but just balance it out. Anyhow ive been abstaining, taking zma before bed, maca in protein shake, getting plenty of rest and not getting stresseed. I can confirm by day three im being woken up at various points in the night by raging hard-ons!!! I just look down , smile and go back to sleep....

Theres no miracle cure...think its the combination of everything... I'll see how the rest of this month goes

[robocop]

Your absolutely right it is a combination of things not least is keeping fit and a good diet especially as you get older.  I meant to put maca and not inulin in a previous comment as I do use maca in a protein drink after a workout and sometimes in porridge in the morning.  The jury is still out on maca although I have heard good things about it helping fatigue and virility. 
Erection problems with younger men seem to be on the increase.  I think to much drinking, overeating and sedentary lifestyles and, to much wanking over internet porn is the root cause of most erection problems.

[dimaria13]

Was thinking of drinking lightly before a punt would that work? I know it is purely nerves so surely a drink will relieve those inhibitions. I have heard drinking makes it harder to get a hard on though so it is a mixed bag. Also need a drink like vodka where I won't need to piss during the punt.

Has anyone tried alcohol before a punt and it helped?

[nervous1]

I've cut out the deathgrip past month or so and only been ejaculating once a week in that period and experienced a world of difference with my latest punt.  Using two fingers has really made me realize the utter madness of the tight grip.

Well I have stopped except the 3 punts when I've had to resort to chocking one out when I'm on a punt. So bloody frustrating. This week relented to watching some porn for first time in a while. May well give it another go at abstinence but frequent punting isn't helping matters

I've had sex with civvies while drunk. One time I couldn't even get a hard on I could barely stand up. I think if girls smell it on you, you could get turned away. You might also come to rely on it if you get into a habit. And worst of all you might end up blurting out some personal details or saying things you shouldn't. Not recommended.

Its no wonder though. With a male teenager's testosterone going through the roof coupled with porn's ease of availability.
Also the fact that its a real arduous task to get sex, unless you're paying prostitutes, look like brad pitt or fucking rich.

Simple flowchart.
Need to unload = find willing female participant.
Can't find willing participant = find the next best thing.
Fap to porn.

Of course its going to happen!
Dunno the answer to it though. 

[hungrypunt]

Addiction to internet porn dulls the senses to the brain for ALMOST ALL activities..not just sex....you can lose interest in day to day activities...work...conversations... the lot.
I watched this a few years ago and cut porn instantly...within 10 days 2 weeks..i noticed i would start to see more of an interest in more things and see things more clearly....its quite a long clip but I would recommend anyone who thinks they have a porn issue to watch it....TED are well respected in the porn and also drug social research world and the effects it has.

I used to watch porn everyday but it's ultimately watching other people having fun.  After a while of punting you have an in-built porn channel in your brain where you are the star performer

Well Hungrypunt- I watched this and it struck a chord with me. I would suspect the same could be said for punting as well. I'm off for a weeks holiday without my laptop etc. I'm taking a book, its the only time I read is on holiday. Don't have time at home as I'd rather be looking at AW, UKP or porn. Deep down I'm looking forward to this break. And when I come back I'm going to try and take on board and sort my self out with Teds views in mind. I need to feel better about myself. I hope I have the strength of character to do something about my lot in life cos I'm not happy. I'm not confident I can do this either. See you in a week.

Punting? 

[Rockhead]

I've cut out the deathgrip past month or so and only been ejaculating once a week in that period and experienced a world of difference with my latest punt. 

Still struggling here. I get proper boners every morning so assume there is nothing physically wrong with me. It's just that during sex I can't really feel any sensation at all, so dick-wilt soon sets in. My last punt came after a one-week wank ban and I also popped a 25mg sildenafil (the latter had no discernible effect), but no joy - same problem. Bloody frustrating that something you are driven by instinct to do, and that is supposed to feel amazing, actually feels like...well, nothing.

My sex drive is as strong as it has always been, but honestly, it's like trying to make love to thin air sometimes. Imagine eating a lemon meringue pie - it's supposed to be full of strong citrus flavours, right? Now imagine eating a lemon meringue pie and finding that it tastes of nothing but dust. That's what I feel like I'm up against. I'm gonna try and cut out any form of self-pleasure on a permanent basis, more or less as the OP originally suggested, and see if that restores any sensation...

[Cum_again]

Ive always come too quickly.

If I haven't wanked for a week or two, then I can only last a few minutes and then nearly drown the girl in cum.

Can always cum again, but as I get older that becomes a little more difficult to achieve.

Since  my heyday (I remember popping four times with Sam from kisses in high Wycombe), I can hang on longer, but it would be nice to fuck for 10'minutes and unleash a huge load at the end.

for example. Still good and still gets me hard. With internet porn, I choose to believe that all those monster cocks are fake, otherwise I'd have a huge inferiority complex. 

[GreyDave]

  25-50 mg of blue stuff

Its an age thing I started punting at 16 and now at the age of 55 things don't work like they did  I have been to parties and seen older guys 70 of still able to manage good  boners without help and younger guys 30 ish stay floppy despite OW and efforts ( Hi to the chap that tried to DP MistressM with me at a party ) as  we all will change best bit has been the lack of feeling in the little fella so when hard I am able to last better and enjoy that bit the porn stuf makes no difference and wanking just empties the sack

Well, since my last post I've went back to square one.  Got the sensitivity back so masturbated more frequently, it's a vicious circle.  WG I was with last week was very attractive & enthusiastic but could only finish by hand after about 30 minutes of so-so sex.  I know exactly where you are coming from with the problems you are describing.  Most of my punts have been ruined by this too.  I can live with protected sex being underwhelming but it's the lack of feeling with OWO that just floors me.

I'm also getting the morning boner.  One thing; I've been popping viagra (50mg) and it's been a big help maintaining an erection but I don't think those things are addressing the actual issue we have.  It's more likely decreasing sensitivity and delaying ejaculation in our cases so I would consider leaving that out for now at least.  I'm going to try the 3 week thing and I've nearly completed my first.  Not easy as I also have to abstain from alcohol with hangovers being a huge trigger for me.  Plan is to not masturbate for another fortnight then think about how I'm going to unload.

Good luck!
