I use porn to self soothe but also out of boredom. When I’m alone in bed because my wife and I don’t share one anymore, porn is there and makes me feel physically good. It’s a coping strategy.
Pen has definitely twisted my perception of my own body and size, and thinking on those things kills my drive
I do compare myself to the people in porn and how they act thinking that maybe the way I have sex isn’t good or right
I use porn to self-soothe and relieve boredom. This can make me numb to less exciting, more awkward sex in real life. It can also shape my view that a man should be able to get hard and stay hard easily.

Porn is used for self-soothing and Bordem. I feel like this has made my sex drive low and made me distance myself from my partner. Anytime they mention something sexual, I just get this wave of anxiety over myself that makes me wanna go watch Porn.. it’s weird as hell and to top it off, I smoke Mary J to make the feeling better.

I identify with the posts on here about using porn to self sooth and to deal with both stress and boredom. Watching it used to give me a kick but not so much any more.

When watching pornos, I yank on my wank so hard that I can’t get a stiffy when my partner pumps my pecker. Used and abused.

I’ve definitely used it to self-soothe and fill in the void when boredom or irritation arises

I’ve always seen porn as being bad and I think it’s like a shame and I’ve always associated my performance anxiety to porn, but maybe it’s the fact that I feel shame for watching it. Just leading to a lack of self-confidence wanna have sex with a real partner, I will also work on not focuses so much on penetrationand being perfect during sex

I watch pornsecretly before sex to help get an erection
Growing up with the internet boom made porn infinitely accessible. From seeking it out on the blurry channels as a youngin, to having everything imaginable at our disposal i believe is simply overload, and I believe it burned out my desire from over 30 years of excessive porn consumption and masturbation.. I feel no shame from watching, but it rather feels like a drug. Porn became boring, but still I feel like I have to get off as a habit, rather than enjoyment. Sure I still have a good feeling when the quick release comes.. but it just feels like a drug habit anymore. It definitely feels like I can’t connect with my partner because of it. Every time I successfully get off with her I have to dig really deep in my mind to focus on one of my favorite scenes, and that’s really shitty.

I love the romantic porn where the male and female appear to truly love each other and create life-I feel sex is beautiful when in the right context.

That framing porn in a way that I am in control will be important going forward
That the porn I watch isn’t me, it shouldn’t create more anxiety around real sex and I hope to stop using it as an escape

I have a pretty healthy sex life but find cumming naturally difficult because I’m so used to my own hand and knowing exactly what makes me cum. I get excited by porn and just damn enjoy it, but I know it’s interfering with my real sex life

My wife has intimacy issues, and struggles to touch me. Porn is sometimes the only intimacy I get.

I want to be able to cum easily without it delaying or without asking my partner for handjob to make me cum

I find the urge to watch it to cum but then it takes away from my drive to initiate or have sex with my partner. Sex is better when I don’t watch it, but it’s a habit and I need the release to keep emotions in check. Feels like a bit of a spiral.

I jerk off to it just cause I like it, it’s better than doing it acoustically, but I feel I need to change that
