We got our first PCs in my company around 1998, and were strictly warned never to watch porn on them, as pornsites were supposed to be sources of all kinds of viruses. The most we did were Google some pictures. To this day, I haven't seen a porn video. Do you think I should pluck up some courage and do a little mild exploration?
This is so cute.
Wow. The guys should really answer this question here, but the deeper and longer the topic goes, the more it seems like a bit of a black hole, if it gets out of hand. Though that is unlikely to happen with you. I don't think you're missing much, there's a lot of nastiness, even with the generic home page stuff and 'vanilla' non-specialty, non-niche stuff, and it only gets darker from there. You'd have to see a lot of 'frogs before you get the prince'. But, to each his own.
@Pranoo1 I honestly wouldn't, if I were you.
Yes, I struggled with this for a while. Now it’s just a fun hobby :)
Hi witty. Welcome. So few women weighing in here.
:) we porn too
Ha ha, you verbed it! I like it.
Yes, and it's awful. Most guys don't realize they're addicted until they try to stop.
Some people think getting a partner makes it easier, but in some ways it's almost worse.
Wow. How could it make it worse? Can't one replace the other?
Oh ho ho. One would think, but no. I don't know what it's like for women, but man needs release like most folks need food. Women are great, but they're very particular about when they choose to feed you--it's got to be right for them. But man is still hungry. Arguably, man is always hungry. Porn, on the other hand, is always there for you. It doesn't care if you're getting out of shape or if you haven't put away the laundry. It never gets annoyed at something thoughtless you might say, nor will it judge you for any action you take or outfit you wear. It never nags or complains, never demands your attention until you call for it. And it's always there to feed you. You start to resent your wife or partner for being so demanding and such an unreliable source of nourishment, and everytime you have an argument or disagreement it stresses you out and deepens that resentment. And when a man is stressed, he becomes hungry. And when is hungry he gets more stressed. And so the cycle continues. Eventually porn becomes more important to you than your partner and it causes all sorts of drama and grief.
Also, I'd never ever watch porn with a partner--that's a whole other can of worms I do not want opened.
Yes and almost killed myself.
Care to expand?
I was addicted to it. I was watching porn which gave me a negative view on girls, it make me feel insecure and hopeless. I felt as if I would never be good enough for a girl, and that I would die a virgin. I was addicted to it and I blocked out all female attention from my life and I gave up on dating.

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!I've been addicted to many things. Porn however isn't one of them. I do watch porn, but only as a "visual aid" for masturbating. And by no means do I always use a visual aid.
I guess like everything else in life, you can go overboard with it. Moderation is ideal.
I wouldn’t say so. Luckily for me, my prime porn watching years were still in the hard-to-obtain VHS tape era lmao
Yes, access is key! I remember those, and lots of magazines in my house. They weren't even very hidden, just in a drawer. As I said, my parents were very liberal.
No...
I did for a little bit
I love your profile pic
Thank you
How would you feel/what would you say if I guy you just started dating told you honestly that he has or had a porn addiction?
I have. I've struggled with a porn addiction since I was about... 14 or so. It's not anywhere near as bad as it used to be and I know there are plenty of people who think the amount I watch is "healthy" or something like that but when it comes down to it, it's still something I can't control when I have the urge or desire and I'm not okay with my lack of self control in this. Not only that but I don't feel any amount of porn is "healthy" in the first place. So yeah... I've struggled and still struggle with an addiction to porn. It's been a very exhausting battle.
I always think you have interesting things to say, and honest. You seem wise/mature/or right where you should be for your age, I think. Have you seen the HBO documentary 'Swiped'? It's about all this. Very good. I highly recommend it.
Thanks for the info, I appreciate it and may well look into this assuming I remember tomorrow. I also appreciate the compliment :)
haha the pics! Thats classy. A+. Kinda depends how you define porn honestly. I saw it when young and for whatever reason I don't recall, I just stopped watching not long after seeing it and never went back. So no to video versions.
Mental versions, no doubt that stuff bent my mind in direction. I wouldn't have known about a lot of stuff if I hadn't seen it in film, and it's part of my mind now. There is a dopamine hit to those images. It's under control but influenced me substantially for long time.
be careful what ones mind is exposed to...
Thanks, re: the photos. That's my kind of porn.
I think I must have leveled up and earned the right now. I really enjoyed going through my library of images and choosing these. I’ll add a lot more in the future then. I like games like that - assigning graphics to ideas
xper points give some power. At 100,000 points you turn into a God and hover off your chair I hear...:) that's good, imagery speaks volumes of words. you are here for a reason:) On that note, be aware.. you can get unsolicited pics (like "D" pics, nudes) via messaging, email, etc.. there are some "bad males" out here and who knows who they are. I don't trust anonomous people, nor those who just pop up "he lets message". Some girls never put their own photo up or took them down for that reason. fyi... this should be standard stuff stated when signup, but it isn't as far as I know. I suspect there are law enforcement sometimes, but who knows... people will try to bait. It's no diff than having to lock your doors at night or walk down the street happy, but realize there may be a nut job around...
Nope, never.
Never 😎🖤🤙
Never. I rarely watch porn and don't even read erotic stories that much. Usually I just use my imagination.
They say the 50 Shades of Grey book series were the fast selling in history of all fiction. Though Salman Rushdie said about the book: "I've never read anything so badly written that got published. It made Twilight look like War and Peace." Maureen Dowd described the book in The New York Times as being written "like a Brontë devoid of talent," and said it was "dull and poorly written." Jesse Kornbluth of The Huffington Post said: "As a reading experience, Fifty Shades... is a sad joke, puny of plot". I haven't read it. Has anyone else?
It’s ok. I bought it for the erotic parts, but only the vibrator scene really turned me on.
Some women make it sound like it's a sure thing, done deal, but I kind of reject the whole core concept. Saw the first movie and didn't like it all.
I haven't been addicted to anything, it's not part of my personality, my private life keep switching focus because I have more interests than my freetime can handle this affects my porn consumption but it has never been a addiction or a priority.
That's a different/new perspective... so many interests, so few hours in the day... Sounds healthy.
No not addicted. I did search on all the different things out there to explore and discover new things for myself
What does "I did search on all the different things out there to explore and discover new things for myself" mean?
Finding out my likes and dislikes
How would you feel/what would you say if I guy you just started dating told you honestly that he has or had a porn addiction?
No.
I've wrestled with a Bach addiction all my life.
What's Bach?
J. S. Bach was a German composer (1685-1750). Classical music.
Yeah I do. It's bad. To the point where physical sex has become a more difficult task
That's very honest of you. Thank you. Anything more you wanna say about it? I'm all ears. Like, how does it make sex more difficult? Does real life seem 'flat' in comparison?
More difficult to maintain an erection or ejaculate. Not being able to do both of these has left women I've been with confused and ask its something wrong with them. Sometimes its easier to NOT have sex to and to avoid the stress of it. It"s really pathetic, but true unfortunately.
Yep, this is what I have heard. And part of why I wanted to explore the topic. Tell me more.
Nope
Nope.
I am more less addicted to porn but it something I am working hard to change.
I meant more or less addicted to porn*
Not exactly addicted.. I get tired of it a lot and weirdly enough the more I watch it the more I wanna see real women.. I think I'm more addicted to the feelin of gettin off than porn.. It was just stimuli for the most part.. Some images did stay in my mind though..
Curious, how for some people it dampens their IRL sex drive, while for other it heightens it. I think it might heighten it for me, if I partook. But I don't think of it unless I"m already thinking about someone, so chicken-egg.
Yeah, I mean I don't know for sure if it heighten my sex drive.. But it did feel like it sometimes.. 😂.. I ain't watchin porn right now.. I'm on the whole Nofap thing.. So, my mind is bein cleared... Hopefully.. And true.. "Chicken egg".. 😂😂..
Oh. (I had to google all that. Never heard of 'fap". I guess that's because of the sound.)
Watch it a few times a week. Now that I am single and have no one else to help me release stress. So maybe a slight addiction.
Porn has just helped with urges per-say and had been a great teacher for my sexual activities involving my partner at the time.
Great teacher, eh. I could see that. Do you think though that there would/could be a tipping point where it goes from useful to something else?
It’s plausible like anything but I like to please my guest
"Guest'. Lol. Nice.
I never have personally.
