Been off porn and masturbation for 2.5 years

🕹️ Porn and masturbation

I quit jerking off when I met my gf. To be brief, I’ve never been with someone I’m this attracted to and I just didn’t want to anymore.
But it’s been a source of tension in the relationship. First, she didn’t believe it. Then she worried about it and thought it was a problem and would basically ask me to start again. But when I finally caved and tried, she was upset by that too.

Now it’s been this on and off issue that she brings up. She either thinks I’m lying or tells me it’s unhealthy.

When things were better between us, we had sex 3-4 times a week, so I didn’t feel like I needed anything else. Now, our sex life has been struggling. I have seen some stuff on this app about using masturbation to improve your sex life?? Seems counter intuitive but I’d be willing to try whatever to fix our intimacy issues lately.

Thoughts? Reactions? Anybody have some experience that can shed some light on what I should do?

I think it might help to separate porn and masturbation! I’ve found that cutting out porn while still masturbating has helped me develop my imagination and have a healthier sex drive. You also might find yourself doing it when you actually feel turned on rather than it just being a habit you do mindlessly.

You could suggest scheduling intimacy or trying mutual masturbation where you wank parallel to each other. It can be pretty hot, and a good alternative to porn if you still need that visual stimulation. I’m cutting porn out of my masturbation practice, it’s allowing me to appreciate myself more instead of focusing on some random woman.

Porn is the problem, masturbation isn’t. Learn how to still enjoy masturbation without porn. Quit porn, try it, after some weeks you will notice it.
