porn causes low self esteem?

[FordToughMan]

I look at porn... a lot. Perhaps I should dedicate more of that time to being in the gym. Nevertheless, I find myself constantly comparing my body to the bodies I am lusting after. It really wears down on me. Does anyone else have this problem?

 

[Saybrooke]

Nope, I'm cool with my body, and I just focus on the hot guys and what I wanna do to them

Especially with some of the people on this site. Anything less than perfect and they think you're so ugly that you should wear a paper bag. Of course they then sit around and wonder why they're single and nobody wants them so the joke really is on them.

I watch lots of porn too but
No, i don't compare my body to porn stars.

Go to gym is for your own benefits and not for others.

 

[refujiunderground]

no, not at all. it's you that is contributing to your low self esteem, not the porn stars.

 

[palbert]

Can't say I do.

You should probably never go into therapy. Just saying.

I was really hoping to open up a conversation for people to discuss their issues with this. Hope we can have a constructive conversation.

Yes. That's why I normally only watch xtube.

Also, IRL, men that are too good-looking or intelligent kill my erection.

You know what causes low self esteem. It isn't porn its being fucking 34 and wearing a McDonalds uniform doing lot & lobby cause your too stupid to work the fry machine

THAT's the attitude!

 

[birddog7]

I do that in life. Seeing a cute / hot guy at 7-11 can make me feel not great.
It doesnt have to be porn

Yeah, I know what you mean. Try working with a hot twink. That will really mess up your self esteem...

Your self esteem issues, body image and lack of personal motivation are your own.

Don't blame porn, movies, tv, magazines or hot men at the beach... That's a cop out and an excuse that many people use to never reach their goals.

Don't be like that.

 

[ravenstar]

I've never felt inferior while watching porn. I like my body, it's flabby bits, saggy bits and all.

I agree with Jasun, don't blame other factors for a personal lack of motivation. You set the future for yourself, no one else. If you want a porn star body, get to the gym and get yourself one.

I always used to think I'd be happier if I was taller or better looking or had more money. Until I realized how miserable the beautiful rich guys often are.
