NSFW what do you do when porn gets boring?

Asked by superniloc (29points) March 4th, 2011

I’m not interested in porn anymore, and the musics gone for masturbation. I’m just going through the motions and nothings happening. Does that mean I can never get joy from sex anymore? Or is it a sign to find a real person to marry and settle down with?... I’m not even interested in the weird stuff… anime was my last hope.

Stop watching porn and have actual sex with a real person, perhaps?

I’m not sure that it is a sign to “marry and settle down,” but you might want to take a break so that you aren’t so desensitized to sexual imagery.

I’m not sure what you hoped to gain from watching cartoon images but you’ll gain a lot more if you get out more & meet real people….. :-/
Just the interaction not necessarily sex….

@superniloc I know what you were trying to get…your setting yourself up for disappointment the perfect woman isn’t there…

Bellatrix's avatar

Find a new porn site? Or as has been suggested… have real sex?

augustlan's avatar

You could try reading erotica and using your imagination to fill in the visuals. Also, take a break and find a partner.

Take up embroidery, a more mundane but no less rewarding handicraft. Or maybe not….

Brass rubbing perhaps?

It doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy sex or that you need to get married.

Stop waxing the dolphin and go enjoy reality.

JmacOroni's avatar

“Waxing the dolphin” is new to me. Haha!

Bellatrix's avatar

It works though!

JmacOroni's avatar

I almost spit out my coffee. lol.

blueiiznh's avatar

don’t say spit when answering a question about porn

That was very cute.

Try fucking a hooker or some skank you pick up at a bar. Or get one of those realistic fuck dolls. Im not talking blowup but the expensive silicon ones. Maybe try a swingers club.

Try having a relationship with a person. Live outside of your head.

iamthemob's avatar

Take a break, for sure.

I think that you should stop masturbating and try more to concentrate on doing other things and keep yourself a little more busy. I personally haven’t gotten to that stage where I am starting to think that porn is getting boring and so on.

I happen to know exactly what you mean. After three tours being deployed overseas I think I have an excuse. The advice about taking a break is accurate. Give it two or three days and it will regain its attraction to you. Also, new material is required periodically for continued ‘fresh’ enjoyment. I currently have 163 gigs on my hard drive and try to never see the same material too close together. It certainly does not mean you need to ‘get a hooker’ or whatever. Your choice for sexual stimulation and personal satisfaction is fine. There are very good reasons for not engaging in intercourse with another person, hang-ups and relationship issues come to mind as perfect examples.
If you have already taken time out and it still does nothing for you, swear off of it for a while, and examine how you feel about it, and yourself. Perhaps life has lost its luster in that area due to a hump in your emotional development-like turning 40, or giving up on the possibility of true love. Good luck with that if true, especially if you are in some kind of depression or something.

Go to Youtube and watch old Beverly Hillbillies reruns

And here is some more food for thought. Seems that excessive pornography viewing may cause erectile dysfunction. (Although reversible, it seems you wouldn’t want to go through that in the first place!)

And I have to ask, @superniloc, what does anime have to do with anything? Did you mean hentai?

jonsblond's avatar

Stop looking at it. You’ll either get your interest back or you won’t. You can have an interesting, fulfilling sex life without it. It really is possible. I haven’t looked at it for almost ten years and I honestly don’t miss a thing about it.

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

Well it’s only natural to become desensetized to something when you do it too much. For instance: a woman who uses a vibrator to stimulate her clitoris all the time may become desensetized to the sensation after a while.

Take a break from the porn, and either find a live sexual partner, or do something entirely different that doesn’t revolve around sex to give yourself a change of scenery.

F$%king quit it, the sooner the better. It has the potential to cause MAJOR problems. from experience.

@colin Are you depressed? Is that what’s going on?

gailcalled's avatar

Play the banjo, clog dance, volunteer at Habitat for Humanity, wash your windows, take a friend to lunch.

Often the most erotic of stimuli are the subtle ones. In the 1870’s, a peek at the delicate skin on a woman’s wrist between the top of her glove and the bottom of her sleeve was a major turn-on. (See Edith Wharton’s The Age of Innocence)

Edit:How interesting can the limited permutations and combinations of penis and vagina be, as seen by a camera?

abaraxadac's avatar

@gailcalled spoken like one who has never truly discovered the joys of absolutely truly awesome sex;P

gailcalled's avatar

@abaraxadac: See my edit. I was talking about the tediousness of hard-core porn.

You might want to make your putative observation a conditional one, since you have no knowledge of my sexual experience, behavior or pleasure.

Pk_JoA's avatar

Try different stuff. Images, gifs, videos, movies, stories and imagination the in fact give different sensations when doing them.

If you are bored of “youporn”-like webpages, try different stuff. Movies are great. Stories are really a great thing, and though it may seem boring at first, give ‘em a chance. You won’t regret.

perspicacious's avatar

I think this is what happens when people use sex for entertainment rather than as an important part of a relationship. Maybe if you turn your attention to other things and become attractive to a nice woman you will find enjoyment with her.

Have someone else help you.

abaraxadac's avatar

@gailcalled I included the little tongue in cheek icon at the end to indicate that I was ribbing you, joking around, playing the fool, having fun with it, or perhaps just teasing you. Try to lighten up a bit. Sex can be a light-hearted topic, for some people anyway. Apparently I should have said ‘Spoken like one who seems to have never… but you would still apparently have taken it the wrong way, so perhaps this was better, as it allowed me to see how it came off and remember never to assume a little smiley face can really express emotional intent over a message board.

@abaraxadac We tend to use the tilde ~ to denote sarcasm.

@abaraxadac: Apparently I should have said ‘Spoken like one who seems to have never…” but you would still apparently have taken it the wrong way,

It’s true. I am always heavy-hearted, (particularly about eroticism). Whatever the weight of my heart, I still object to you predicting my reactions. You get to decide how you take things. I decide for me.

I thought that the sentence ended with the semi-colon; and I had no idea what the P symbolized.

I’m happy to declare that I’m fine now.

Turns out it was my meds. I can’t change that at this time.
