  • Gregor suffered from one of the worst nightmares of a 20-something guy, erectile dysfunction. Once he knew the cause, he decided to not only reverse his ED but he also wanted to make up for all the lost years by becoming a Sex God. Little did he know, that he first had to completely revise his definition of a Sex God with the help of the Greek philosopher Plato.
    Gregor Schmidinger is a filmmaker living in Vienna, Austria. He studied screenwriting at the University of California Los Angeles and is currently working on his debut feature film Nevrland, that artistically explores the themes of sexuality and pornography. In 2012, he started his blog the Sex God Project, where he wrote about his personal experiences with porn-induced erectile dysfunction and quitting porn.
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    His method of weening himself off of the porn addiction via the use of awareness and willpower rather than guilt and shame could probably help with many compulsions and addictions. Guilt and shame really only feed the cycle by causing you to swing from extremes without correcting the core issues. Suppression breeds tension and relapse.

    Excellent talk! Keep on raising awareness on the potential negative effects of internet porn. Porn has the potential to be extremely sex-negative. There is nothing more sex-negative than something that gives you a limp noodle with real partners.
    Keep doing your thing Gregor.

    Close to the end of the talk I’m over here saying “thank you” in my lonesome for the knowledge cuz this issah real stuff and useful. Guilt and those sort of emotions are suicidal type and just get nobody anywhere good, similar to pride it’s just not necessary. Nobody should feel they have to prove themselves to anybody just be yourself, do what your heart resonates and feels more at home with and do it just to smile more on your own, it’s all really important. There’s nothing wrong with being alone as well, nobody should feel anxious towards their own loneliness, and it’s all for an important reason and beside, nobody is ever really alone.

    Wow this video totally just opened my eyes on this whole PIED recovery process. His story is the exact same as mine...although he gave up porn completely he tried to project what he used to watch into his real sex which is what I tried to do as well.
    That being said I think that we as a society should educate kids at a young age the negative affects of viewing pornography, it is simply not worth the problems you will face later on in life because of it.

    • @Yuztok
      @Yuztok Před 8 lety +22

      It's not simply the porn itself, it's how you feel about it. Better than "banning" pornography, is to try to change the mindset of young individuals so that they don't get addicted to pornography.

    • @thenewme79
      @thenewme79 Před 8 lety +6

      I watch a fuck ton of porn, and have done so since I was a teenager. I'm what is called a sex god, constant erections even after climaxing multiple times and still ready for more.

    • @richardhayward1171
      @richardhayward1171 Před 7 lety +18

      I was the same way man...rock hard erections and loving every minute of it...hot hot women, endless situations. When it hits you, you will be like WTF?????!!!. When you see porn for what it REALLY is, you start the journey to heal. Go ahead, say 'that will never happen to me'...that's what I said too. When you get to that point, goto 'yourbrainonporn' site.

      Sounds to good to be true, sure your not schizophrenic. Just joking, if you got em smoke em. I'm sixty years old and never in my life have I experienced such low performance. I have had cement hard erections permanently for my entire life since age 5yrs. And my multiple orgasms have turned into one giant non-stop orgasm. In fact, I'm having one right now. Got to go!

    So basically, he shares the same problem that nearly every girl struggles with; no orgasm, lack of stimulation, no doctors that can truly help, and being surrounded by people that overlook this frustration. This is such a great talk and should definitely be recommended. Anxiety can be very debilitating.
