I always blamed porn on issues in my last relationship, but I was young and hearing “porn addiction” over and over, so it might have been a placebo.
That makes sense in how it can influence unrealistic expectations of our own bodies and sex.
All I know is that I don’t feel anxious when watching porn.

Pleased to learn
that the sex doesn’t last hours and that the men probably take a pill to stay hard

Craziest thing to learn was that real life sex only lasts on average 2 to 8 minutes. That I did not know

Makes me hornier than actual sex because of the fetish and kinks

I watch porn because it helps me to relax & rewind.
I want to quit as I feel it is a morally wrong to watch in a relationship and I want to be ready for when I am in one.
Use porn occasionally to relieve stress
I’d like to stop or just limit my frequency, instead of relying on it as a way to decompress

To not watch it again. Dabbled in it before, never led to good things for me. Would like to arm myself against it in the future.
I think i watch it to see things i know my partner won’t do, but I feel like it takes away from the times im with her.

Id just like to be able to stop for a while. I am definitely ashamed about watching porn, and think it makes me more anxious about sex.
When I’m with a partner I often find myself needing to think about my favourite porn to keep my erection or to cum, therefore I regularly make myself have long periods where I decisively give up porn because I think it is desensitising me to real life sex.

I had a brief period where I made myself stop watching porn. The sex I had with my partner after that was fantastic - the best I had ever had - and I was so much less anxious and had significantly less of an issue with losing my erection.
Trouble is, since then we’ve not had much sex so I’ve resorted back to porn and masturbation (a lot) and now I’m stuck in a cycle.
I want to be able to give it up for good really and not keep wanting to go back to it.

I feel like for gay men porn is almost a safer place than real sex. Also it’s a fantasy world where the right people will fancy you. I’m not sure if this makes it more ok or what

I always feel ashamed immediately after I come using porn and masturbating. Really I’d like to be able to stop using porn for solo sex
