What porn myth do you struggle to let go of? Even though you know it's BS?

That I won’t be able to enjoy real sex as much if watch porn

It just feels more challenging to get aroused with a partner than with porn, and to a degree that means I prefer solo time than time with someone….which isn’t what I want.

That it’s not the cause of my erection issues

A myth is the preference of porn is not necessary my inclinations for some kind of porn.

That I can’t stay hard and climax with a partner because I only like a certain type of porn

That it isn’t real life and means you can’t do regular sex

Porn makes me more biased and prejudiced in my sexual preferences

I can’t get hard for porn anymore but still can irl

Porn is desensitising me to the normal things my partner wants to do during sex

That my fetish is the only true way for me to experience sexual gratification

I can only get hard and climax when I’m alone watching porn

Desensitized because I don’t seem to have any sexual desire. Not for my spouse or for anyone that I would normally feel attracted to. It makes me hate myself. Then I use porn for stress and anxiety relief and it works for a short time, then I thought about why I can’t get aroused and feel worse. It is a vicious cycle.

I grew up believing that sex was for marriage only and porn was 100% not OK. I have mostly discarded those beliefs as an adult but sometimes that old sense of shame creeps in and I find myself questioning whether I should feel guilty about liking sex.

I think I just put pressure on myself that sex needs to be as perfect as it is in porn. We both need to be hard at all times and be always going at it.

The idea that the more I watch a certain type of taboo porn, the more taboo my sexuality will be. For instance, I’ve always like trans porn, as well as straight, gay, lesbian, older, college girls, everything. But I outwardly I am just straight and have never felt romantic feelings for a man. But I have worried in the past that watching too much of say trans porn, will make me gay or bi. Nothing against that, but it was quite taboo in my house growing up and I feel shame about this

The fact that the kind of porn I watch is dirty and unacceptable in the society and if people / partner got to know it, they will feel less of me.

Porn has been a way for me to manage stressful times and unpleasant emotions. Porn is always perfect and when things don’t go perfect, I get anxious.

That it’s use is not affecting my perception of fantasy vs real life with my partner

I’m starting to be able to let go of all the myths and be able to see porn for what it is. Solely adult entertainment.

The type of porn I’m watching is taboo and I feel like I’m doing wrong by watching it and by enjoying it.
