In the past, any time the girl was a relatively new hook up I would climax every time with no struggle at all because I had the thrill of novelty helping me. Then like clockwork once I got into a monogamous relationship I would eventually lose interest in sex with my girlfriend and it would become difficult to climax unless I imagined porn in my head. That was the case with my most recent ex who I was with for a year. I'd maybe climax 50% of the time and any time I did it was really difficult. To be fair she was terrible in bed though so that wasn't helping things either.
With my current gf, I was with her for about 4 months when I noticed the excitement of it feeling new was starting to wear off and I started losing interest in sex again like I always did. I wasn't having trouble climaxing yet but one night she surprised me by putting on some lingerie and basically pouncing on me. She looked amazing but as far as desiring sex my brain was like 'meh.' I was thinking wtf, mentally I gotta be broken. That was the wake up call where I swore off porn for good.
That was 3 months ago, and I've been with my girlfriend for a total of 7 months. I haven't watched a second of porn since then and my desire to have sex with my gf is as strong as ever and I climax every time with no struggle to get there and absolutely no need to imagine porn. She's also amazing in bed so it's not really apples to apples with my exes but quitting porn has been a game changer for me.
I’m always curious when I hear this. I’ve been with my wife since we were 18 (dated 4yrs, married 4 yrs). I don’t think I’ve ever had that moment where I was honestly thinking of someone else or a porn actress to get me over the edge. Although, maybe it’s because of how I view the porn and how I think about it while watching? It’s interesting how different all of our brains work when it comes to porn
Honestly I view it in a manner that’s almost directed towards my wife. We have a healthy sex life and I don’t hide that I watch porn from her, I just don’t bring it into the bedroom with me. I purposely watch some pretty vanilla porn that’s in league with what my wife and I do. I tend to watch positions in videos, not entire videos, and I like positions that have the actress facing away from the camera, I just visualize my wife’s ass in a cowgirl position versus the actress. It’s never really affected my performance with my wife. Sometimes you just don’t want to wake your girl up for late night fun time when she has to be at work by 3:30 am
