How do you feel?
I feel like watching porn and masturbating is part of my daily routine now for that extra dopamine. Now I can’t feel anything on my penis during sex but I can stay hard and last more than an hour of constant sex. Nevertheless, I don’t ever finish
Watching porn once in a while isn’t harmful so long as it’s in moderation. There’s certainly a balance from needing something new to jerk it to and going full coomer
I can relate to this having also discovered porn at a young age (12). When my parents found out I’d seen my Dad’s porn, my mother went crazy and I felt so ashamed. The memory still haunts me today
I used to watch porn consistency for about three ish years. The more I watched, the more specific I got. I’ve stopped now for about a little over a month and feel much better without it. Although I feel like it’s had a lasting impact on my brain along with sex anxiety and that is what the killer is.
I’ve had a fairly lonely 20s period until I found my partner, the love of my life, in my late 20s. Porn and nudity on the internet, coupled with the occasional visits to strip clubs basically took care of my “needs” in a way. Touching myself when I am alone is the most comfortable experience for me so when I was introduced to my partner, my brain panicked and I’ve since then blamed porn for the issues. Maybe that’s not the main issue, maybe I overthink too much.
I always knew porn didn’t reflect the reality of sex and that I shouldn’t expect real sex to be like porn. But I don’t think I gave enough weight to the unconscious messaging my psyche was getting from porn and how this was affecting my sexual confidence.
I have always felt a sense of guilt in watching porn, partly due to the often violent and degrading themes that seem to be ever more present, but also because of the last sense of taboo I felt since childhood around porn.
Even while with my last partner, I would hide my porn habits. I would admit that I watched it, but they didn’t know how much I was watching it (1-3 times a week) and when, like when they are asleep or even just in the next room. It was an easy sexual release for me, on that meant I didn’t need to face my lack of confidence when having sex with someone else, including my partner of 5 years.
I don’t know if I want to stop watching porn altogether necessarily, but I do know that I find it easiest to get hard and finish when watching porn and that can only be a bad thing for my sexual life with others
Feel I have become very desensitised to good sex because watched lots of hardcore type porn and have set unrealistic expectations of sex. Feel anxiety that I can’t get hard without needing to watch porn
I feel the exact same way and am dealing with a very similar problem. I am hoping to use this app to free my self from the self inflicted shame I feel about it. Even with a support sex positive partner of 5+ years it’s hard to get out of my head about the shame porn makes me feel by watching it and comparing myself. I hope you are able to get what you need from MOJO and share you experience. Reading this helped me so thank you
I feel have lost sensation to more natural organic touch due to expectations set by watching porn.
Expectations about sex are clearer post going through this exercise.
Porn made me feel self conscious about my penis even though past partners never complained about it
I want to gain literally any other habit. I believe i can do that if i don’t watch porn
I developed a routine of masturbating before bed every night. Accelerated state of hyper arousal by watching porn, leading to a rush into orgasm, usually providing sufficient soothing to encourage my sleep.
My partner is amazing but I’ve felt more confident sexting or watching porn so far.
Same here
It really came to me how I feel more comfortable and confident while watching porn and masturbate for myself than having sex with a partner. Situation based ED is new to me, but just the realisation helped me to understand myself better.
I can relate to that!
I can really relate to that. Sometimes I even watch porn for a minute or two to kick things off and by that fooling myself into believing ”now I’m up and running” before having sex with a partner. As soon as I turn it off im getting anxious for not being able to controls/stay hard/perform without porn.
i reckon its the dopamine hit from it , and i can probably build on other habits like reading which with help my self education
Got into a daily habit of porn after being single for so many years. Ruined my whole perception of what an actual sexual encounter should be. My partner is understanding but I feel I am letting her down being unable to perform
