Anyone else feel like this these days?
I'd class myself as a massive enthusiast and obsessive. I've got 3 external hard drives full of it. It's all I get up to behind my Mrs's back it's insane.
I'll think nothing of spending 4 hours having a massive long edging wank session when I get the free time.
Anyone else? |

Doesn’t it all get a bit samey?
Not kink shaming or owt, fill your boots, but once I’ve seen one porno I’ve seen them all really?
Am I the only one that becomes desensitised to it if there’s too much of it? |

My partner is very "straight laced" and very vanilla. She loathes all smut and filth.

It's not for me, I really don't like porn, I don't watch it myself and I avoid meeting those who watch it a lot.
It leads to poor sexual performance and unrealistic expectations when over used. |

I used to like porn -- at one point in my life I even sold it for a living.
But, it's a waste of life and time -- it messes with the reward centres of your brain and it can warp your sexual tastes.
Watch 'your brain on porn' on Youtube for the science of how it works.
I like to be a pervert under my own terms, rather than the terms of a multi-billion pound industry telling me what I should fixate on. |

I think it has a lot to answer for as to how people expect others to be on here ie unrealistic expectations and demands.
I'd say if it's taking over your life ,you probably need to seek some help op.

I used to love it but not so much anymore. I do still enjoy watching it, but it sounds like you’re a real collector OP. Just keep an eye on it if it ever becomes a problem for you. Porn addiction is real and can cause a variety of difficulties. |

It doesn't help when your first wife was an absolute animal in bed and enjoyed porn herself and with me, and then your 2nd wife is not even in the same league sexually and very tame  |

Been there
Have more external HDDs full of the stuff
Spent many many many many hours downloading it but never watched it.
It can become unhealthy if it starts to affect your quality of life, your relationship with your partner, friends and family.
It can become an addiction, and lead to unhealthy attitudes towards sex.
In the end I just stopped. I recognised it wasn’t good for me. Now a days the only porn I watch is the stuff I film myself  |

It sounds like you are your wife are incompatible.
Really you should do her a favour and leave her, instead of spending your time on a swingers site and developing a porn addiction behind her back.  |

I have so many questions arising from your post, OP, but that's not what you asked for.
"
OK...
1. Does it affect your relationship with your partner?
2. What is your partner doing during your 4 hour sessions?
3. Has it made real physical sex more or less enjoyable?
4. What would you do if you were cut off from all porn?

1: not really, I may get irritable a little bit if I've not had chance to watch porn and wank for a few days.
2: Usually at work (we often work opposite shifts)
3: No, i still crave sex like mad and it's frustrating
4: It would be like a junkie coming off Heroin

Yes I really miss doing that. My ex-wife was quite into porn herself and I corrupted her even more. I miss bonking away at her with it on. Or her wanking me off to it.

Who didn't watch loads of 'Frankie Vaughan' when they first got access to the Internet, to add a little context, for me that was around 1999 or so ? And for those of you old enough to remember, in those days it was dial up Internet....man, was it slow, slow.
Then broadband arrived and yeah, it was like a portal to a new world. 
Here we are today and I can honestly say I've never watched any porn in years. I don't miss it either.

Watching porn doesn't do much for me. Especially, when I know it was not done for my sake and without me in mind. I get excited exchanging pictures or video with someone than arching porn. I have watched it and liked the waxing with cum videos. But it's not my go to fir satisfaction thing...
To the OP, if I am honest, you might be edging towards concerning levels. Downloading on HDD when you can always watch them online? Anyway, I would start weaning myself off it if I was in your shoes... |

Like the OP I also have a massive collection and I feel I have to watch at least a little porn daily otherwise I feel that a "junkie" needing a fix.
I genuinely dont need to cum watching it either but feel bad without watching it.

Maybe when I was younger it was a great stress relief.
Now not really seen one seen them all they're all the same and as stated before alot of people can blurr porn and reality when it comes to sex.
I could think of alot of better things to do with four hours than edge myself. |

Got addicted to it and needed to watch it everyday. Realised that it was affecting my sex life and took alot of effort to stop watching it. Even now do get the odd urge to watch but just go and do something else, even if it's not sex related.
Would just say to OP try and see how long can go without it and if find you can't then do think help is needed. |

I think something becoming habitual- you watch porn every morning before you have a shower- is different to it being an addiction. I think when porn becomes addictive- you find yourself being late for work or appointments because you’re watching it or you find yourself getting into debt or financial problems watching it and can’t stop- then you need to seek help.
I truly believe that having a positive attitude to sex means that it’s ok to do things regularly, even everyday, if it brings you joy and it is done safely. For example, if you had sex with your partner everyday because you are horny, that’s not a problem. So why is watching porn? You have a scroll of twitter everyday before your shower, that’s not a problem, so why is watching porn?
I think breaking habits that you dislike is important and will be difficult but I also consider them not the same as an addiction or an unhealthy relationship.  |

No disrespect but the amount of men on this site behind their wives backs is insane and down to a complete lack of communication and trust.
If you are spending that much time on porn, you should probably spend a bit more time connecting and communicating with your wife. Sounds like you have a problem, and it isnt just that you're addicted to porn. |

There are actually very valid and scientifically proven reasons why it is not ok to consume porn on that level lol

Scientifically proven? I'd love to have been on the ethics panel assessing the double blind study you'd need to run to come even close to suggesting proof.
I think you raise very valid points Steve, any activity only becomes problematic when a person struggles to stop that activity despite it having negative effects.

The majority of it is about pain and abuse towards women. Showing gaping holes of her arse after being roughly fucked, head being pulled back by her hair, no interest in her as a person. No wonder men have lost the art of seduction and arousal. Porn is boring and repetitive from what I've seen. |

If you are genuinely interested in knowing the science I'd recommend the 2014 peer reviewed journal entry "brain structure do functional connectivity associated with pornography consumption"
Or the easier meta-analysis by Dr Neil Malamuth in 2009 that found that higher rates of porn viewing was linked violent ideas and behavioura towards 
Theres a lot wrong with porn, but watching ethically made in small amounts wont be harming anyone, it's only with high rates of viewing and addiction that seems to be problematic.  |

Whenever I see statements like this I always wonder about the personality behind them and the cookies/algorithms on their devices. When I open up a porn page it may contain some videos like this but it most certainly isn't mostly this type. A great deal of it will ostensibly be "real" scenario's.
Or maybe I am biased in what I choose to watch and ignore more of this type than I realise

To be fair I don’t dispute this. I have done very little reading on it and I’m not any aware of psychology really.
I still believe that there’s a difference between habitual consumption and addiction, with anything. But accept that habitual consumption can still be problematic as you said in reply. Though I think it’s also based on the assumption that people are unethically consuming unethical, mass produced porn, which I don’t think people should be consuming anyway. |

From the first study you quote:-
However, the observed volumetric association with PHs in the striatum could likewise be a precondition rather than a consequence of frequent pornography consumption. Individuals with lower striatum volume may need more external stimulation to experience pleasure and might therefore experience pornography consumption as more rewarding, which may in turn lead to higher PHs.
Like I said, the type of double blind study you'd need in order to claim proof would never get through ethics. Correlation isn't causation nor does a study on 64 men count as conclusive.

Regardless of any research - for myself, I steer wide of porn nearly all the time. I prefer to use my imagination or read erotica because porn has some unhealthy effects on me. I want to view more and get further into it. I start seeking stuff out that I'd never want in real life. I don't have a lid on it - and in every other respect I do keep a lid on my needs. Or I'd be posting statuses about "horn". |

Yes numerous studies point to a precondition towards a certain type of attitude towards women and sex that is amplified or validated through massive porn consumption. |

That's also just one study and meta analysis, there are plenty more out there that suggest similar outcomes.
You can fight for porn all you like but the truth is, a high quantity of it does not respect women as equal sexual partners and still creates a sexual fantasy through the male gaze.
And that isnt even tackling the main issues of how problematic and dangerous free porn sites are re r@pe videos, assault videos, human trafficking etc

Agreed, it's the type or porn that's being consumed rather than the existence of porn as a genre of sexual fantasy outlet that's problematic.
If ethical porn was consumed half of much I dont think we'd be dealing with half the stuff we are from men on sites like this  |

True. Definitely agree the impact it can and does have on men and their attitudes to women and sex. Ethical porn is better for those things although I still think there’s issues that those content creators reproduce also. But people are consuming porn more ethically I reckon today than maybe 10 years ago. So hopeful it gets better |

I'm curious, do you genuinely believe that porn is responsible for this? That 25 years ago before internet porn became common men were all respectful of women?
My view is going to be subjective and influenced by my life experience but I've worked in an almost exclusively male environment for roughly that time and if there's been any change in men's attitudes to women during that time it's for the better. As late as my mid 20's there would be naked calenders in most workshops these are long gone, as are the Nuts and Zoo magazines that were ubiquitous canteen reading material. The crude objectification of women had genuinely decreased in my experience.p
As Damselfly says above, porn can certainly lead people into a dark world but the truth is that this isn't everyone. Those that it does already have this in them. I certainly wouldn't argue that for such people the availability of violent/illegal/degrading/bad word of your choice porn doesn't normalise stuff that shouldn't be normalised. I think the problem is when we start claiming that because such individuals exist the problem is the porn not them, that porn has this effect on everyone or that such personalities didn't exist pre internet porn is dangerous and short sighted.

On places such as here, I don’t think you need to delve too deep to see that there are more than a few men who think that sex is done to a woman, rather than with her.
I think porn is responsible for that |

No not saying it's happening en Masse at all, and like the studies suggest, there needs to be a predisposition to that type of opinion about women to begin with.
If we are talking teenagers viewing that type of material that is inherently degrading to women from a young age (mainly mainstream) then that is creating a predisposition for viewing women a certain way imo.
But like all consumable media, this type of attitude leaks into it all so it's not just porn either like |

Yup. From what ive experienced from men here, the vast majority have blatantly worrying issues with women and attitudes towards us tbh.
It's actually the minority that are respectful and understand we are here for our pleasure, not just theirs. |

"On places such as here, I don’t think you need to delve too deep to see that there are more than a few men who think that sex is done to a woman, rather than with her.
I think porn is responsible for that "
Personally ( I'm not a professional) I think there's an element to porn, which portrays the women as desiring sex and pleasure and as you put it " done to them".
It's intriguing to see how many men desire a liberated woman , yet feel a little awkward when they're confronted by one.
I suppose porn has fulfilled a purpose for many, but its not always for sexual release ?
Too much reliance on anything can't be good, but fir some it adds ideas and fantasy, even if some turn out to be rather naff for real. |

"Agreed, it's the type or porn that's being consumed rather than the existence of porn as a genre of sexual fantasy outlet that's problematic.
If ethical porn was consumed half of much I dont think we'd be dealing with half the stuff we are from men on sites like this
I'm curious, do you genuinely believe that porn is responsible for this? That 25 years ago before internet porn became common men were all respectful of women?
My view is going to be subjective and influenced by my life experience but I've worked in an almost exclusively male environment for roughly that time and if there's been any change in men's attitudes to women during that time it's for the better. As late as my mid 20's there would be naked calenders in most workshops these are long gone, as are the Nuts and Zoo magazines that were ubiquitous canteen reading material. The crude objectification of women had genuinely decreased in my experience.p
As Damselfly says above, porn can certainly lead people into a dark world but the truth is that this isn't everyone. Those that it does already have this in them. I certainly wouldn't argue that for such people the availability of violent/illegal/degrading/bad word of your choice porn doesn't normalise stuff that shouldn't be normalised. I think the problem is when we start claiming that because such individuals exist the problem is the porn not them, that porn has this effect on everyone or that such personalities didn't exist pre internet porn is dangerous and short sighted.
Mr"
I've lived in the UK for nearly 30 years and I don't see any improvement in general misogyny. Calendars on walls are the public face of what is an insidious problem. And that to me is the issue with misogyny - it's built into our society. Like racism. Porn isn't responsible - but mainstream porn is one thing that perpetuates it and has a huge impact on the attitudes of young people. |

"The majority of it is about pain and abuse towards women. Showing gaping holes of her arse after being roughly fucked, head being pulled back by her hair, no interest in her as a person. No wonder men have lost the art of seduction and arousal. Porn is boring and repetitive from what I've seen.
Whenever I see statements like this I always wonder about the personality behind them and the cookies/algorithms on their devices. When I open up a porn page it may contain some videos like this but it most certainly isn't mostly this type. A great deal of it will ostensibly be "real" scenario's.
Or maybe I am biased in what I choose to watch and ignore more of this type than I realise
Mr"
It's on in clubs! I don't put it on. Don't make such assumptions. Use some common sense. If I said I don't like it, why would I upload it? |

Yes, I don't know where these unrealistic expectations come from. Take the scenario of something I watched the other day, say, of a more mature lady wanting to use two young men purely for her gratification. These sort of scenarios can objectify men as well.

I wouldn't say I was compulsive about it but, for some of us, it's the nearest we ever get to any kind of sexual encounter. That said, I can see how watching it with a sexual partner could be fun too. |

Men beg for this in real life in my experience. I am inundated with requests so unless she's abusing them it's not in the same category.

Mostly watch Gloryhole oral sex videos. As far as magazines go, I prefer the ones from 1980s-1990s which leave a lot to the imagination. Ladies in teasing poses wearing stockings and suspenders does it for me. |

"Porn can educate you!
Name something you learnt?
Umm, most of my German vocab?

How many words is that?
You'd be surprised.....

I think I'd pick up more universally useful words with Duo Lingo  |

"I support sex work. And if that means an unemployed single mum has to get reemed out by 8 guys to feed her kids for my viewing pleasure, then so be it "
It's reamed. |

Absolutely. There’s so many types of porn that validate things like child abuse: such as a vey young looking (but legal) 18 year old made up to look like she’s 15 or younger. The gaping holes, etc again feeds into the whole “rape”
Fantasy, and of course there’s fetishisation of black men, this site is full of forums, where black guys are traded like second hand cars. I think most of us have kinks, but i think some of it does normalise abuse |

Shooting / starring in / editing / marketing is a full time job to us, it's nice to put our feet up and watch soaps or a good box set as we're porned out lol.
Porn is ok in small doses but like any vice some will easily get addicted, enjoy it for the odd titillation but try not to get too obsessed xx. |

I (Jack) used to be obsessed with porn, but my use of it has massively reduced in the last year or so. There are two main reasons:
1) I was starting to notice that it was effecting my "performance"
2) Most of it is (in my opinion) pretty shit! |
