I am masturbating since 7th grade (13 y/o). I still do it everyday once or rarely twice a day after watching po*n. I know it’s natural and all.
But I want to ask you that –
1) Will this make me sex less enjoyable in future?
2) Will this cause performance issue? I can control my urges of masterbuation if that’s the issue.
3) Should I just masterbuate by self (Imagination) without watching porn. I know that p*rn give delusional scenario which is not going to happen in real life. Which can also make sex less enjoyable in future?
What are your thoughts on this?
What does you experience says?
Thanks for reading!

Don’t give yourself a “Death Grip”, because vaginas or mouths are not going to do that. Be gentle. It will be an adjustment period to get used to “real” sex but it shouldn’t cause too many issues. if you are open and honest with your partner that you are new to real sex. Imagination is superior to porn because porn can de-sensitize you very easily (mentally that is) to the real thing, and can escalate where it takes EXTREME porn in order to get aroused.
Overall, it’s fine like most things….in moderation. It also helps keep your prostate healthy. If it starts to over-take the rest of your life and causing problems for you then wean yourself to just a few times a week. Just watch it on the porn and the amount of hand pressure you are using….keep it gentle and relatively “normal”, if you find it takes more and more extreme porn to get interested you want to cut back. Also, beware: a steady diet of porn will not show you a normal range of body types (of either gender) or healthy relationships and it can really mess with your head and emotions in that way.
It’s fine in moderation
Do it however you like and however often you like. You shouldn’t feel ashamed of your sexual needs, it’s part of being human. Just remember, as you said, that porn is in large part fantasy, not reality. Masturbation won’t hurt your sex life at all. The real thing is so much better that it shouldn’t interfere when you have sex. But that’s just my experience.
Fill your boots. Don’t worry about anything you’ve asked. Worry more about being a good man, and a great partner. A good relationship can solve anything.
Sex is an entirely different experience and it’ll still be pretty good, but you might still masturbate from time to time because it’s convenient.
As long as you don’t fetishize about some of the nasty stuff in porn, you’ll be fine. Even normal porn things like BJs might not be everyone’s thing, and you’ll have to respect that.
Others have mentioned stuff like death grip which I don’t know about but you should avoid that too
I would google and research the difference between masturbating with and without porn to see the contrast and potential benefits.
I myself is trying quit porn and just do it with my imagination because I am an addict and have struggled with this for decades.
I don’t know your exact situation so I can’t recommend anything except maybe pointing you in the right direction.
Quitting porn would be the best thing you could do. It fucks with your brain chemistry and your soul beyond how you could even comprehend.
When I quit, I tried to masturbate via imagination for some time, but would usually get bored and stop. There are benefits to semen retention too.
Remember that if something is free, you are the product
IMO:
