I'm in a phase between, i don't watch porn, and working on it... meaning, I don't watch it regularly, yet when i do , it takes over my day...

Also the after affects of watching porn and masturbating , for me is devastating. It's like i hit a brick steel wall, and fell down a pit.

Am I the only dude who experience this?

watching porn and masturbating really have me feeling flabby and discombobulated when i'm done, so i stay away for as much as i can.

Lol u ain't da only one which is why I watch it with my girl so we can fck after.

If I watch porn alone I might end up revisiting it 10 times in one day

Fckd around and hurt my dick from watchin it to much one time

Im gonna try to go all of March without it. I went without masturbation for awhile but it only made me irritable...I wouldn't go through that again.

I went 3 weeks once without P&M. First week was terrible. Felt jittery and really nervous. I would be in class getting hard to the smallest things. It was terrible. But after a week I felt much better. More energy, much more active and a lot more alert. I also felt more confident.

I'm not sure what made me relapse, but after I did I realized this P&M is like a drug, especially for those of us that started early (13). You get hooked.

Really looking to cut it out for good. Really see no positive.
 
My instinctual desire for "strange" pussy, and the ease and convenience of my phone makes it tough to give up.

It's like a smorgasbord of booty meats, & titty meats. Home-grown flicks (random first 48 playing in the background) BBW joints, with niggas going jackhammer style on these big roller coasters of pleasure.

The best part is not having to conjure up an excuse to bounce once I buss. No "spooning" after "forking", no awkward questions like.......so what are we?

Just push & pull my nut-rag and I'm done.

The downside? Who will make my sandwich?
 
Yes I'm trying to cut this shit out....but I switched to baby oil last year and my sessions have gone to another level..

I don't have a problem with making porn with your partner, but I think watching porn featuring others while in a relationship can be harmful.

Just my opinion.

Explain.

I just feel it can lead to issues. Insecurity, infidelity, addiction, mental conditioning, etc.

I think porn does make people insecure, we know it is addictive and there is also some level of conditioning involved as well.

It depends on the person and the situation.

 
Insecurity can come in when you notice your man consistently looking at women that don't look like you.

Infidelity can come in when your man got you watching porn of men doing things to women that he doesn't, won't or CAN'T do..hmmmm..it can get your mind wandering.

Mental conditioning comes in when you watch so much of the fantasy that you begin to believe what you're watching is what should really be happening in the bedroom to be considered "good sex".

It's just a slippery slope..I feel like if people put as much time building and investing in the reality of their sex life instead of being quick to escape to the fantasy world, the relationship would be healthier and more fulfilling.

As I typed that last post I was considering how to mention the escapism porn allows for.

Porn has definitely ruined alot of relationships indirectly because partners couldn't live up to that fantasy porn sets.

I get what you mean, but porn has never ruined a relationship. Immaturity and people's inability to deal in reality ruins a lot of relationships. I don't understand how porn is any different then shit like The Notebook or similar movies, etc.

Because porn is made to appear realistic, especially some of this "homegrown" type porn.

Because people know The Notebook isn't real. There are alot of people who still think porn is representative of real sex between real people, not actors and actresses doing multiple takes to get it right.
 
I dunno, y'all. At some point we gotta stop taking the outliers and using them to represent the general population. I'm SURE there are some delusional people out there who think porn is real. But I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the general population is well aware that porn is fake as shit.

Also, let's say that it WAS real. I don't really see anything wrong with a person only wanting to be in a relationship with a person who fucks like a porn star. As long as they understand that they'll be looking for a while, that's their prerogative.

Just my $00.02.
 
Terry Crews: Porn addiction 'messed up my life'

By Brandon Griggs, CNN

Story highlights

Football player-turned-actor Terry Crews says he overcame an addiction to pornography

Crews: "It affected everything. My wife was literally like, 'I don't know you anymore' "

(CNN)"Brooklyn Nine-Nine" actor Terry Crews is opening up about his addiction to pornography, which he says "really, really messed up my life."

In a new series of videos posted to Facebook, the former NFL player says he had to go to rehab for his addiction, which consumed him and threatened his marriage.

"Some people say, 'Hey, man ... you can't really be addicted to pornography.' But I'm gonna tell you something: If day turns into night and you are still watching, you probably have got a problem. And that was me," he said.

"It changes the way you think about people. People become objects. People become body parts; they become things to be used rather than people to be loved."

Crews said he kept his porn habit secret from everyone, including his wife. He and singer Rebecca King Crews have been married since 1990 and have five children.

"It affected everything. My wife was literally like, 'I don't know you anymore. I'm out of here.' I had to change," said the muscled actor, who added that he quit viewing porn six or seven years ago. "I literally had to go to rehab for it."

Crews revealed his porn addiction publicly in 2014, but his new confessional videos have brought heightened attention to his struggles. His first Facebook video, posted two weeks ago, has attracted almost 3 million views and more than 10,000 comments.

"Thank you so much for this message, Terry. Your honesty humbles me," said one man on Facebook. "I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't do drugs. But I have wrestled for years - YEARS - with pornography. I am grateful today to say that I have a very specific sobriety date and I have stayed clean for some time now. I work at it every day and I do everything I can to remove its power and hold."

"Thanks for putting this out there and congratulations on finding recovery," said a female commenter. "This horrible plague killed my marriage. Glad you decided to fight. We need more voices bringing awareness. There is a silent war being fought and the casualties are families and relationships."

Crews posted two more videos thanking fans for their support and trying to answer their questions.

"Women, you need to be fearless. You need to confront your man about this problem," he said in the second clip, recorded while he drove around Los Angeles in a convertible. "You cannot accept any pornography in your life."

In the third video, posted Tuesday, Crews described porn as "an intimacy killer."

"Every time I watched it, I was walled off. It was like another brick that came between me and my wife. And the truth is, everything you need for intimacy is in your (partner)."

Rebecca King Crews has not referenced her husband's addiction in any of her recent social media posts. She posted a photo of her and Crews on Instagram last week with the caption "Love my boo!"

Crews, 47, played for six years in the NFL in the 1990s before launching a career as an actor. He has appeared in dozen of movies, including "White Chicks," "Bridesmaids" and "The Expendables" and its sequels. He also had a recurring role on the TV series "Everybody Hates Chris" and has been featured in several Old Spice commercials.

Last year, Crews made headlines when he said he and his wife had completed a 90-day "sex fast" that left them "more in love."

im sorry, but this shit is hilarious.

I don't agree with this part. Porn is an exogenous variable added to an equation which is a relationship. If we increase the amount of porn consumed by one partner and hold everything else constant (i.e. shared income, shared values and other nuances of a relationship), then if the relationship is faltering then we can assume there is some correlation with the increase in porn consumption.

My biggest problem is I started very very young. 13 at that, and when I was young the amount of smut that was readily available for a teenager was way too much. I really don't think young men should be exposed to as much smut as we are today.

Your argument is flawed because you are confusing correlation with causation, among other reasons.
