I feel like I now understand that porn is not real, that sexual experiences are nothing like it and to not compare my own experiences with it. I feel that stopping porn and getting back in touch with my own body will have a huge impact.
More relieved.
I don’t really know if porn is inhibiting my sex life. But if there’s any doubt that it is I’d much rather manage it. I’ll start by keeping a log which will help determine when I go to watch it
I don’t think porn has been my issue with my ED. Yes i now seek certain genres and types of porn but it hasn’t got out of hand…pardon the pun.
Porn for me is my debuzz at the end of the day and allows me to fantasise about what I like in the bedroom. I will still do the exercise and see what my triggers are.
I think for myself, using porn to get off between sex, provides some confidence and is healthy. I only use it a few times each month and keeps everything working.
I’m still not sure if I want to 100% cut out porn because i genuinely enjoy it and love watching it. However I do plan to reduce the amount of times i watch it each month to help get my dopamine levels back to normal
