answer

Pornography is especially helpful for guys with premature ejaculation (PE) because it introduces a high level of visual stimulation -- and therefore excitement -- which is more akin to what you experience when you actually have sex. Think about masturbating as you would learning how to drive: If masturbating without porn is like tooling around a parking lot, masturbating with porn is like getting on the highway at dawn. Sure, there are fewer drivers, but it’s still much closer to the real deal.

Your goal with using porn is to maintain the same level of physical awareness you had when you were masturbating without any visual aids. You still want to be in touch with your arousal and be able to bring yourself close to orgasm and then pull back.
