Porn gives unrealistic views on how I should please my partner and that causes anxiety and lack of performance.

I’ve been watching porn since I was pretty young and at this point in my life I often feel helpless to stop. When I do take an extended break I usually feel
More confident in myself. I think it’s definitely a way that I self soothe, so I’m turning toward this app to process through my experience more.

I have used it for a crutch for a long time for gratification. I want to stop now.

I wasn’t sexually active until my mid 20s due to social problems so for my formative years masturbating to porn was the only sex I really had
For the last few years I’ve been using it every single night to help fall asleep faster and it’s warped my overall perception of sex to the point where I can’t perform in real life at the moment

Not until recently did i realize how much i was putting myself on a pedestal to achieve that fictional level of sexual arousal and libido. I usually flow in between the states of sexual attraction, and non sexual attraction, and i used to beat myself up for not achieving that. Well its dishonest, hurtful, and not what i want to do with sex anymore

The video reminded me just how deep rooted my sexual shame is and how I have internalised it- feeling insufficient for partnered sex. While watching porn may potentially form part of a healthy erotic template for me in the future I think that I currently would benefit from reconnecting with physical bodily sensations to masturbate and orgasm in order to build that connection and my sexual confidence.

It’s more of an escape or a ‘treat’ but leaves me more miserable after every time, I’m aware of it but still look to it as a scapegoat, it stops now

I stopped watching because it was getting extreme and stuff that is not my sexual orientation. I fear that this is a reason for my ED
I used porn to relieve stress and it was just about getting it done. I feel like this led to my ED.

That it’s normal to watch porn but if it’s starting to ruin things in your life & I can’t stop watching i have a problem
Porn makes me self conscious of my body and I want to quit
My girlfriend doesn’t like me watching it. And I completely understand where she’s coming from. But for me, I’ve been watching it for so long it’s hard for me to just stop watching it completely. Sometimes I can’t even sleep if I haven’t watched it. It’s difficult.
I’ve been looking at porn for close to 30 years, and just recently has it become an issue. Not even directly, but indirectly.
I’ve essentially taught my brain that I need visual stimulus and constant penile stimulus to stay hard.

I’m realizing that perhaps I indulge in porn to cope with general sexual anxiety
I think porn has lead me to have performance issues based around my confidence. But I still used it to relax or sleep
I use porn to cope with my anxiety and depression, but I realize cuming with my partner makes me feel better and confident in myself, but during sex, I get extremely anxious, which causes me some pain.

I find myself going there in two main issue, one is boredon, you just start and find yourself scrolling to find the right movie… the second one, is i have a sharing wife fantasy, which i told my wife, but she is not into that, and every sharing wife video gives unrealistic views of the men and the penis, and how the woman behave… so it makes me conscious about my size, my duration, and ivget anxious
I watch porn to relieve stress and engage in a fantasy. I’m usually not imagining myself in it merely watching the passion and act. The intimacy but also admiring the actor and their traits
