What porn myth do you struggle to let go of?

That as a man I have to always be in the mood for sex, that I can always get hard at the drop of a hat, and that all I am always supposed to be the aggressive one who initiates sex.

Probably a fear of becoming addicted to porn, which realistically hasn’t happened. Intimacy with my partner has gone down but it hasn’t been replaced by porn and I feel I masturbate to porn around the same level as I usually did, maybe less as I try to prove to myself I don’t need porn

As someone else said, that I am always ready to have sex at the drop of a hat. Sometimes I am just not ready for it in the moment. Also as someone said, I feel that as man, we are always supposed to be the more aggressive one. If I am in a situation where that is not the cause, I sometimes may feel that I am inadequate or that something is wrong with me, even if I know that its not true

I don’t feel like porn causes my erection problems, but recently my erection problems are even creeping into watching porn solo. The anxiety about not being able to get hard is now not only in the bedroom with a partner but solo watching porn or even throughout the day.

That I should get an erection instantly when sex starts with a partner and that if that doesn’t happen, I’ve failed in the situation and the sex will be unfulfilling for them (and for me).

I get hard while watching porn but rush to the end. Make real sex seem like it takes to long and I lose my erection

I think a sex myth I struggle to let go of is that I need to be aroused or horny or ready to go at an instant and if I’m not I can’t get an erection at all, rather than being able to acknowledge if me or my partner is feeling it we can build into it

That I should maintain a fully hard errection at all times during sex. Hard not to notice how they maintain it so well in porn

That I should be horny whenever she is.

Probably that I need to be hard for sex. I still believe that one but hoping to let it go to enjoy the the present until I fix my ed issues and even then I’m sure it’s a healthy mindset
