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

That watching porn is inherently bad for you and has no positive effects

That porn makes me numb to my partners advances and I need to have visual stimuli to really get going

I’ve long felt like I’ve had a problem with porn addiction… I started watching it from about 11 years old so could relate to Cam’s experience. It’s become an almost nostalgic experience for me too, as it goes back to those early days of feeling like I’m doing something wrong but so exciting. I use it to soothe; for comfort; to destress; when I’m horny, etc. I’ve given it up cold turkey for long periods and am currently 2 months off it but now I’m feeling like the problem is feeling like I have a problem! Like I’m some goblin thing jerking off when really it’s not so bad.

That porn is unhealthy, and that I’m a pervert for watching it. Also that it’s what is preventing me engaging with my wife

That women can only be satisfied by blokes with big dicks. I watch porn to cope with my anxiety.

That it will ruin your brain, and directly lead to erection issues.

Using porn to escape loneliness and rejection in my marriage. But then feel guilty as it makes me want to live the fantasies out in real life - then that might happen if I’m out having too many drinks - which isn’t exactly going to help my marriage problems - and creates a cycle of guilt and shame

That porn is inherently shameful and something I should feel bad about

Porn being bad for IRL sexual peformance, inherently immoral and addictive
