I’ve learnt that sometime I watch porn through boredom and get no pleasure.

I think my issue with porn is that 99% of the times I’ve ejaculated since I was 13 has been from my hand. I think I’m starting to get hardwired to get hard under those circumstances and no others.

Porn has become a way to get off when I’m not having sex. The problem I’ve run into is when I view porn and then later that day get the opportunity for some surprise sex and my libido is shot (or I’m concerned about my libido being low). Or worse yet when I think I’m having sex so I abstain for a few days and it doesn’t happen but I know there’s a chance for sex within the next day and I’ve got awful blue balls. Then it’s deciding between continuing to have blue balls and being uncomfortable or risk not being able to be ready for sex the next day. But without porn or masterbation being in the picture I could have sex 2-3 times in a day easily.

I feel like my body has learned porn=hard erection and easy orgasm.

I feel like a lot of the times I’m more excited about solo masturbation than actually having sex with a partner, as it’s so comfortable and used to

Porn has given me an unrealistic expectation of sex and putting that into real life you feel as though your partner isn’t satisfied because they don’t react the same. I know this isn’t true but my inner thoughts take over

Self soothing
porn has altered my thinking and caused me to desire unrealistic aspects of sex, but it has also helped by showing me some new and exciting things
I dont see porn in itself as the villain. Because for the longest time I used porn to my advantage, to explore sexuality with my partners and keep things interesting as far as getting to know the behavioral aspect of what pleasure does to us. But as of the last 2 years, its turned into a crutch for me to avoid putting effort in to myself and my well being in multiple aspects of my life. And I want to relearn how to be a sexualy being without villainizing and simply using porn as a tool for managing a healthy social/sexual life.

Porn makes me feel like I can’t let anyone down but myself and I’m ok with it.

I think I may be using it to soothe from the descriptions given
the more porn, the more porn sensations I am looking for

It’s a familiar thing, a coping skill, and it helps give me a release that’s harder to get lately without “help”
I don’t watch it anymore…largely out of respect for my wife. She doesn’t mind if I do but I prefer not to. I learned though, that’s it’s not as bad as I thought as far as affecting my performance.
It’s not the norm to last for hours and I can’t belive those guys take election medicine as well
It’s like a movie not real life. There are a million working parts behind the camera when real life this isn’t the case.
It makes me wonder if that’s what my partner expects but I can’t deliver

I’m sick and tired of watching others have sex. I think porn trains us to get off watching OTHER PEOPLE have sex instead of focusing on how we ourselves can get sex.

I definitely had a warped view of sex my first time due to how extreme porn is and I have held on to that insecurity for a long time
I feel that by watching porn, i have gotten more used to variety. I enjoy different models and may be i get used to that variety and that is negatively impacting my sex life and relationship
