does masturbating to pictures give you the same problems as porn?

[jiujitsuguy23]

So I stopped watching porn about 2 years now and I turned to masturbating to pictures . I didn't think it was a real problem until recently I tried having sex and my thing didn't work. It works sometimes but sometimes I fail . So I went to the doctor and they told me its all in my head they told me I am very healthy and that the problem is in my head. I think it was me masturbating to pictures. The pictures are girls I use to talk to in the past. I would not let my self jack off to porn or nude images. Sometimes I would jack off to fitness models. So on march I decided to not jack off to any images. saw progress but I relapsed. So I tried again april 10 not jacking off to images. I am having sex with this girl I been talking to for 3 months. I feel like the sex my help but I worry cuz sometimes it wont work.

so the questions I am asking are

Does masturbating to non nude images bad for my brain?

Will having sex help me come back faster and not masturbating ?

Will my rebot be faster since I didn't use porn?

as long as this girl is in my life I plan to not masturbate until I can get hard easy. goal is 30 days then 60 then 90 then by then I hope my libidos will be super high again

I do get morning wood I do get erictions but I noticed I don't get super erictions any more like I did when I was a teen. im 25 years old help haha

You are confused with the definition of porn 

Porn is artificial stimuli. So pictures, videos, erotic stories, webcam, phone sex, even your imagination. You can use youtube as porn, or magazines. It is known that there are people who developed PIED with masturbation to pictures of swimsuit models (not even naked).

So if you want to be sexual, make sure you are with a physical girl that you already know, or get to know first!  That is true natural intimacy, everything else is wiring your brain to different kind of stimuli which can take away from the real experience. Videos and now virtual reality are by far the most engaging and the most damaging types of porn but for a recovering porn addict, any type of porn will cause big trouble and is considered a relapse.

With real sex, you could cut off orgasms for a while or limit to once per week. Try it out, see how you feel after orgasm. If you experience a flatline after a orgasms or problems with PIED, then stop it for a week or two before trying again.

I hope this helps
