DOES PORN IMPACT SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION AND MAKE IT HARD TO ORGASM?

 

Can avoiding masturbation or watching porn help with delayed ejaculation?

For some, the answer is yes, for others, the answer is no: it depends entirely on your sexual experience and if you enjoy the build-up of thinking about what’s to come, or if you prefer to maintain a connection to your sexual appetite.

Making the decision to not watch porn or masturbate before having sex with a partner can help ramp up some people’s sexual desire and anticipation for that experience. If this is you, you might find yourself thinking about an upcoming sexual experience with a partner throughout the day, fantasizing about it. This build-up can make it easier to orgasm.

Continuing to watch porn or masturbate before having sex with a partner can maintain and encourage some people’s sexual appetite. If this is you, you might find yourself feeling disconnected from feelings of sexual desire if you haven’t had sex or masturbated in a while.

It really depends on you and what works best for your sexual desire. If you’re not sure which approach is best for you you, experiment with abstaining from sexual triggers before sex with a partner to see if it makes a difference for you and take note
