Sometimes it takes time for the research to sink in.
That porn is OK, my ex girlfriend really demonized it in my mind
Watching porn can desensitize me to only get hard when watching it. I am just coming around to realizing this is a myth.
Porn will destroy your relationship with your partner. Myth!
That it is the cause of my sexual problems.
I have trouble accepting the fact that Porn is not the cause of my ED. I somehow feel like it’s connected, but I feel like it’s even more connected to how I now feel watching porn.
That watching porn will definitely lead to an addiction to it.
That porn is how sex really works, that penetration is the goal on every occasion
That it makes me depend on images and scenarios in my head without engaging with my partner in reality.
That porn desensitise me to sex with my partner and makes it harder to be in the moment
That it’s addictive!
Forbidden, taboo, desensitizing
It is bad
That if I’m watching porn means I’m not going to be as sensitive to my partner sex
Why i am not hard like them
That I have to think about a porn scene I like to finish
I struggle to let go of the feeling that watching porn is just getting off on unrealistic expectations of women’s bodies and behavior
That I need to be hard before any foreplay even starts.
I worry porn has ruined my sex life as it’s normalised and removed the excitement of explicit situations
I struggle with thinking I’m insufficient based on how I see men perform in porn despite my partners telling me otherwise.
