If you have a partner and also a porn addiction I really encourage you to regularly read some posts. It’s mostly women posting about how they discovered their boyfriend’s porn habits, the impact it’s had on their relationship and how some sexual issues they’ve been having suddenly clicked for them. But mostly they talk about the emotional aspect of it and it’s haunting lol, reading some of these posts gives you motivation for a lifetime, seeing how some girls apparently now get triggered everytime they see a hot girl on tv or outside because they know their bf will look or have thoughts about them, constant comparisons, etc. Some marriages being ruined because of this. Like, just look at this shit:
Talking to friends and seeing male online spaces (like mainstream humor slowly adopting porn shit like “gooning” or joking about feet) I feel like porn addiction is RAMPANT. I’m in my 20’s and I can confidently say I don’t know a single guy IRL who doesn’t watch it. Some get defensive when talking about it, some guys also keep saying that it’s normal or even healthy (I often see the prostate cancer study cited lmao).
At this point, ED must be skyrocketing. Just feels weird because no one’s talking about it IRL yet.
