(NSFW) Can you stop watching porn completely?

Asked by Eggie (5921points) December 24th, 2015

Have any of you guys stopped watching porn completely? Have you done it cold turkey or you needed help? Is it possible to stop it completely?

~ I would need “professional ” help to stop watching porn~. Lucky for me I get free porn on my smartphone.

What’s porn? I think we’re back to the same issue that the Supreme Court argued about 40 years ago. Except in 2015, there’s a whole lot of stuff that is not considered porn that used to be, back then.

You can hardly turn on any mainstream movie released in the last 25 years that doesn’t have nudity in it. Some R rated movies have simulated sex as part of the plot.

So what’s porn?

To localize on your question, however – porn is not an end in itself. Porn is a means to an end; the end being sexual release and that feeling. Stopping watching porn won’t itself do anything – if someone wants that release, then they’ll start reading porn stories or books, or peeing through windows, visiting prostitutes, or feeling up kids in church.

So in addition to defining what porn is, @Eggie – can you describe what the reason would be to stop watching porn? What’s the rationale for this idea? Why do it?

I would argue that watching porn safely at home is probably less damaging to society than taking it away and trying to find those thrills elsewhere.

I have to try peeing through windows, @elbanditoroso. I never thought of it before, but now I feel like I’m missing out.

You’d probably have to cut out my brain. My imagination is thoroughly stimulating.

I’m with seek, I don’t actually need it.

I did when i was engaged, she hated porn so I stopped watching porn, but then i had her to handle that; I get the urge, I just took her like Grant took Richmond. Fast forward, I am much better, but without her in the picture I rely on Divine help.

The problem with porn. Porn is not real. It’s not real sex. Most of the scenes do not feel good to women. Lots and lots of masturbation to porn makes it hard to have good, enjoyable sex with a partner. Why? The brain becomes conditioned to desire the kinds of sex depicted. The penis ( if you’re a man) becomes conditioned to the death grip of a hand. The result? The only kind of sex that they like is porny, ridiculous sex. No woman, really, thinks reverse cowgirl feels good. No woman, really, likes to be hammered rapidly. No woman, really, wants to be finger blasted. No woman, really, digs being face fucked hard or tea bagged. 69 blows. It’s not a turn on. I’m a professional sex worker in a country where it’s legal. I can tell the people that watch a lot of porn right away. I have normal sex with normal, healthy men in my personal life and it’s soooo good. Don’t get too hung up on the porn people, it makes you a rotten fuck. For real.

I beg to differ.

Anyone who uses terms like “no woman” or “all women” is, by definition, inaccurate.

@Hypocrisy_Central you’re a man. @AdventureElephants I can’t tell which you are. I may be somewhat inaccurate, but I’m pretty qualified to answer. I think there’s a whole lot of faking going on, my friends.

My ex loved to be teabagged, fingered and face fucked.

I would not say you were not qualified to make determinations based on your unique situation. You said ”I’m a professional sex worker in a country where it’s legal.”, here it is not less one state. Even when it is free, how one treats their sex partner depends a lot on it it is a ”hit it and quit it” for a night or a very short term or if you plan to be something more like regular lovers or FWB. Those you deal with on a professional level I would suppose view you and the sex different than the men you boinked outside of work where it was a mutual choice, not hat they were paying customers. I know from experience by the women I fornicated with, and friends of mine (who could have been embellishing, but since I cannot prove it, have to take it at face value) who recanted the women they boinked, some of what you think women don’t like, some crave and even things you did not mention, like getting spanked and slapped during sex. I once had to distance myself from a woman because she believed she could not have meaningful sex unless it was a gangbang and she wanted me to get some friends to join in and dog her out. What you have going in your unique situation may be true, just as mine are with DWB, just because others did not experience that driving around the USA doesn’t negate I lived through it,

^ you know what, I was talking to my American boyfriend and he told me about a woman he was seeing years ago that loved bdsm. She loved to be locked in a closed while he went out and when he came back, said she would orgasm at the drop of a hat. He told me about another (maybe it was the same one) that would orgasm like 30 times, so I guess they do exist . He said he was extremely sure it wasn’t fake.. ( he dropped her cause it was too weird).
