the effects of watching too much porn

[daydreamer27]

maybe this topic is too generic, but as Iam a little smut junkie, I would like to have a serious discussion about the possibility you might getting harmed emotionally by consuming too much porn:

I noticed that I lack a certain amount of emotional interest in the people I sleep with. Could that be caused due to my excessive consumption of internet porn? (a flick per day) I started quite early to watch porn (when I was sixteen) even before my first sexual experience with another person (male) took place (I was nineteen then).
I never felt emotionally drawn to another person, only have had one night stands. Yet I only have female best friends I can trust and talk about my feelings to. Guess I am a strange case.

Anyone has experienced the same effects by watching too much porn?
Tell me your thoughts about it.

It only make me more horny.
I am a very visual person, so images heat me up.
Don't be frightened by your emotionless encounters...you're a guy, damnit!
If you meet the right man -- the emotions will find you.
Until then love yourself. Enjoy your encounters.
Respects, will

so being male means having less emotions while having sex? poor women!

Since this is a "serious" thread.....I'll tell ya this -
I worked in an ABS for 10 years and seen every porn movie in existence during that time period....str8, gay, bi, you name it and I've seen it.
I saw SO much of it that porn has no affect on me at all.
Actually, I find it to be booooooooring !

For me the effect of watching too much porn was I thought I could do it better so I became a porn producer. What you watch in porn, that's my life now. One of the hottest marines I have ever met is supposed to come over to my pad next week so I can tape him fucking his girlfriend...says he doesn't even care of I pay him, he just wants to be taped. Oh lord, pinch me

Now that's freaky. You and I are practically the same person. Same age, same nationality, same sex life, same problem.

I would like to add/say something deep and advice-y, but I got nothing.

So, what do you masturbate with?

I rub my body against the sheets while lying on the stomach. that is the technique I use.

It's quite a relief to know I am not the only one with this problem. .

its only a problem if you ever find you can only become aroused by porn and not by another person, the emotional detachment thing isnt a problem....its generaly reffered to as casual sex lol

dont stress over it too much

I have to admit that having sex with a (male) person wasn't quite as satisfying as masturbating to a porn movie. That's certainly someting to be concerned about.

You know, I once thought the same, but that's because I always hooked up with the wrong guys. I then realized I had to find the good ones... and I did.

But I think what adds to that frustration you might have is that you have an expectation you brought with you from the porn you watched and when you have the real thing it's more 'blah' than 'shazam'.

I am sorry, I didnt explain myself well, what I meant was when you can't get aroused at all by anything other than porn then its a problem.

sounds to me like a bad choice of guy, and not a problem with porn hehe

Too much porn may be an indication of a social skills deficit or a dissatisfaction about your life. But remember the old wives tale that "Too much masturbation will make a guy go blind!"

Really? To my opinion absolutely nothing is better than actual sex. Do you have any idea why you prefer rubbing your cock against the sheets over a real fuck?

Are you used to seeing a certain type of men in porn that his become the only men you get very horny over? Are you less horny about real men cuz they aren't that good as the guy in porn?

no, I am not especially into one certain type. unfortunately, the attractive guys are hard to approach in real life. I am not the one who makes the first step. Guys talk to me first and then I usually sleep with them cause you never know if there will be someone better for me showing up that night.

Masturbating for me is really relaxing. When I am with other men, I start to get really nervous and need some drinks to let it happen.

There may be more reasons for this, that I don't want to mention here in front of anyone, but if you wanna discuss this a little deeper with me, just let me know, I'll send you a PM.

Too much porn? Yeah! I think that can be a problem, but I'm still researching! Been at it since I was, maybe, about 12?!

As with anything, the more exposure we experience to any given stimuli, the less "oomph!" it tends to produce. It's quite similar to developing callouses the more we use our hands. (No pun intended!)

However, I've found that Guys, in general, are more able to function with a "disconnect" more than Girls are able to. It is quite capable for "Us" to experience a very Intense encounter with very little Emotional involvement. It's just the way we are genetically "Hardwired". We can more easily operate, to compartmentalize, what we are Doing from what we are Feeling!

Is that a "Good Thing"? I'm not sure! But I do realize that, as Guys, we have an ability to detach ourselves from what we are actually involved doing.

Does watching "too much" porn have anything to do with that? Perhaps. But, I also think it has to do with how we have learned to deal with other people. Do we tend to "engage" without actually "being there"? Have we developed, for various reasons, trends of holding others at a distance while seeming to be personally interested?

I don't think it's so much of a Porn "thing", as it may be more of an internal "Guy" thing! Does that make sense? Know what I mean??

As "guys", we are taught to be socially, and emotionally, separate from what we may find ourselves involved with. Which, when you really think about it, is pretty sad! But, that's the way we are brought up to behave!

Is Porn the problem? No! I don't think so! But ... as "they" say ... too much of a "Good Thing" can be, simply, ... too much!

Still ...

You're Fine! You're "Normal"!

Keep smilin'!!
