So, what sex myth do you struggle to let go of?

That it’s the standard to cum during penetration

That my penis has to be a certain size or it constantly has to be rock hard

That once I finish, that’s the end of the sexual intimacy

Penis size and body image.

Penis size and how long I last

That I need to finish in order to enjoy sex

That me and my partner must finish for it to be enjoyable

The risk , I did the same when I was younger watching porn when I shouldn’t be , so actually connects dots to wanting to replicate that risk in other ways now that I’m okder

That sex has to last for a long time

That sex needs to involve penetration and ejaculation

I feel like I can’t get an erection now unless I watch a very specific type of porn

Bro said he used porn as a coping mechanism, and I think I did the same thing, I’d have runs of going w/o it, but it’s been on/off cycles for sure.

Tying porn to a nostalgic experience—evoked for me that, most often, when I’m enjoying myself alone, I’m reimagining experiences with my ex (even if I’m watching porn)

The main myth for me that I think still applies is porn delaying ejaculation when with a partner. I am trying to use erotica or audio instead of visual porn to help with this.

That watching porn causes erection issues, its easier for me to get erect when im watching some kind of porn than I am with someone else by a mile and I always felt porn itself had smth to do with it

I hadn’t considered all the types of things that could be going through my mind with a partner. Not always aware of how anxious I am and how worrying about getting hard is counter productive.

I watch porn and masterbate when im bored and need a quick dopamine hit. But I’ve been single and used porn for so long that I worry I need that visual in order to get hard.

What I need to do better is be present during sex.

I feel guilty about the porn I’m drawn too, but it’s good to know that the guilt is the biggest problem. I either need to go to different porn or quit altogether

I found it relatable they way he discussed it as an easy way to stop feeling uncomfortable
