Visual stimulation is certainly a factor with me. When I watch porn, it has an immediate effect. Where im with my partner it usually takes a significant while longer to get hard, which brings in anxiety over getting hard, followed by not getting hard. Its a vicious cycle.

In my experience porn has only been a negative for me in every way. I am so much happier without it.
I’ve always felt a direct link between watching porn and being desensitized to a real partner. Honestly shocked that any research says that’s not the case, but I’ve also always felt a lot of inherent shame around any porn use so the ideas presented here could definitely be a big deal for me

The whole “porn desensitizes my desires or arousal” is a hard myth to let go. Glad that the research shows otherwise and with the adequate work, I can be a real life Ron Jeremy in the bedroom.

I struggle to shake the idea that porn has no link with being able to cum. I feel like porn has desensitised me to the point that regular sex doesn’t provide enough stimulation for me to finish.

I feel like porn makes me think of more sexual scenarios in public than I would like and I feel a sense of guilt because of my religious upbringing
I should be able to get hard at any time no matter the situation or stressors going on in my life so that I can please my wife.
That porn desensitized my ability to get hard. Although, I still want to limit it. I found when I get sad, I binge watch porn and masturbate several times. It brings in insane amount of guild afterwards.
I think the grip I used during sex has caused me to connect less when having sex

That I am not as attracted to most women anymore because they don’t look like the pornstars that I watch regularly, therefore I have become desensitised to reality.
