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.

Just my opinion.

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

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.

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."

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.
