That it* not he
That porn makes me less hard or cum faster
That porn desensitises my experience with a partner and gets me too into certain kinds of sex like specific positions or acts that a real life partner might not want to do every time.

Porn makes real life sex less arousing
I also want to try different things that my partner doesn’t.
That it is bad for erections.
That I need to be hard. Instantly. That sex need a to be penetrative. That I have to perform and be perfect.

Porn doesn’t desensitize, it actually makes people more visually sensitive. My issue with porn is when I compare it to regular sex, my erection is taking longer or having these anxious thoughts about my body/the way that I’m presenting/etc or me taking too long to cum. It’s all anxiety

That sex has to revolve around penetration and the dynamics that go with that
Sex is all about climax and penetration. They obviously mess around but it all ends the same way.
Foreplay, different positions, climax.
Also by watching it and cumming that it decreases sensitivity.
I just feel generally bad when I watch porn..I go on binges and masturbate a lot, and then I stop for 2 or 3 days. When I go on these binges, I don’t want to connect with anyone for fear of not being aroused.

Porn desensitizes/causes erection issues
Porn to some degree desensitized me to regular sex. Since I quit watching it, things have been much better.

Porn became a replacement for awkward moments and an outlet for me after my first divorce
Porn became a coping strategy while I was a teenager for feelings of loneliness and isolation, and still feels comforting when I experience those emotions.

I think my relationship with porn is just self inflicted torture at this point, Ive convinced myself it’s causing me issues so it causes me issues…then I get stressed and use porn to destress which convinces me I’m going to have more sexual issues and the cycle just goes on. Good to hear scientific studies show this stuff doesn’t effect me the way I think it does. It’s all in your own head.
I think I am in a similar state of play to you, although now I have retrained from viewing porn for 6 weeks + when I did have a relapse I found I didn’t not have the same addiction to it as I did before. The excitement and thrill was not the same. I’m hope this was a big step for me and wish you well on your journey.
