Abstaining from porn is actually pretty easy... The tough thing to do is to abstain from masturbation. Even if I were to never watch another porno for the rest of my life I'd still find myself having days where I'm so horny that I'd have no choice but to jerk off in order to relieve the tension.

Well, there's nothing wrong with that. That sounds healthy!

Ironically, the more the I look at porn the more I find myself attracted to "real" girls.

The scary thing for me about porn is that my real girlfriend of 2+ years looks a lot less attractive after I look at it. And she's pretty freaking hot. I definatly think more about other girls (real and porn) when I'm on a big porn binge, which again, I don't like because on some level I realize that my real girlfriend is incredible in the sack, does everything, and is way better then sex I've had with any other girl.

I hate quoting hard core consevatives but Robert Bork said something interesting, "A pornographic society is not one that produces pornography, it is one that thinks about sex in a pronographic manner." Do you think about sex in a pornographic manner?

I look at some porn - and mostly it's ho hum (no pun intended) when compared to the memories I have of past women and the fantasies I have of some I am just starting to view in that light . . . it doesn't come close.

But, since I've currently got nothing going on and it does help relieve the stress - I check out some links and the posts here to see if there is anything that will hold me over until Ms. Right On comes bee-boping along.

But when you get right down to it - it really doesn't hold a candle to in-love, full-on, get down, marathon sex with the right woman.

i don't know about porn, but i like to masturbate atleast every other day to flush the hormones, it makes me calmer and more collective.. (not to mention less likely to make me act like a pervert and do something stupid)

last time i was on a trip with my family i went 10 days without either... when i came back everything was very sensational.

just chuck everything you have. print, cd's, files, tapes...everything. then give yourself a goal if you really want to stop looking at it. do you want to stop looking at porn, or spanking the monquato?

i have done this several times during my life. i have always returned to porn, but the times that i stayed away have been lengthy

What do you guys think if you and your SO have a very active sex life and they still want to look at porn whenever you are not around. Does that seem weird or is that normal?

A very nice quote and a very true one as well. I found myself slipping into the pornographic view of sex and relationships. Yet pornography reflects society. So I suppose I found myself slipping into the mainstream view of sex and relationships. To say the least, it was very bad for me. Not because it ruined my relationships but because I felt very empty and somehow used.

I still look at porn here on the TFP. I gota admit that about 99% of all the content does nothing for me anymore. Porn stars are a total turn off for me. Most other sets just don’t do it for me because they look so phony. I am also starting to think more when I look at porn, and most of the time I cant help but think of what the girl would actually be like and whether she is being used or has been suckered into taking her clothes off – a line of thought that almost always leaves me disgusted.

I was doing this in all my past relationships. It's a pretty common thing. I think the motivation from this comes from habit. Before the relationship, you think sexy thoughts and you jack off, usually with stimulation from porn. When you are in a relationship you think sexy thoughts even more often and you do the old routine. To make it a little easier on you girls that worry about this - when guys look at porn they will often supper impose the image of their GF onto the porn they viewing. Another words they just use porn to stimulate their imagination. They look at porn then picture their GF doing the same thing and then relieve themselves to that image.

For now, I've been keeping away from porn. Weirdly, I believe that because I have a partner that is readily available, I should not be looking at anyone else.

I have been struggling with the subject of porn for quite a while now, and it is not even that I dont like watching it occasionally. I guess I just worry that he is going to look at me differently, find me less attractive, always think of other girls when we are having sex, things like that. I have gotten many pieces of advice on this, and they all vary so greatly, that I guess eventually I will just have to do what I am comfortable with.

dancergirl,

Going with your gut is always the best thing. Every one is totally different and you know your man better then others would.
