Have you ever gone off porn?

[gagginforit]

Have you ever completely gone off porn? I just can't watch it anymore. I feel the urge and put some on... and I just can't watch it. It just does nothing for me. I tried watching different kinds of porn to spice things up, and nothing.

Has it ever happened to you? Did it go away? What did you do?

What am I going to do if it doesn't go away? What in Gods name am I going to do?

I used to read science fiction and fantasy books by the ton. It got harder and harder to find anything that looked worth reading, and I realized that some elements that were really important to me, like happy endings and character emotions, were often not important to science fiction and fantasy writers. But, those elements are very important in romance novels, so I started reading those instead.

The point? Try a different kind of erotica.

I can understand what you're saying, I'm not totally off porn, but I'm pretty damn close.

It's just soooo fake that it totally doesn't interest me. It just doesn't get me going if there isn't real release and real pleasure there. Much more fun to play with a person instead of watching porn, but if there's no one around and I've got no alternatives I'll dig through porn to find something to get off to.

I don't watch porn movies but like porn sites with real people in the not big fake tit actresses that can only say ih yes oh yes fuck me harder I like it real.

What in Gods name am I going to do?

Move to the next level of perversion, order a red headed inflatable girl named Trixie and begin a new relationship?

Sounds like you overdosed yourself with porn. Take a break and if you come back don't dive in head first. Enjoy it as a pastime and don't take it so seriously..

Or find yourself a mate and solve it in that fashion.

I do get a bit bored with it, sometimes. Especially when all the actresses look like they really don't want to be there. I mean, you can surgically enhance the body all you want, but if the eyes are a blank...major turn-off.

Never got on it to begin with. It does nothing for me.

Yes I find real porn a turn off, its all the same, girls with big breasts, guys with big cocks. I prefer to watch amature sex, couples and people masturbating

 

[HeyAll]

Depends on the porn. The softcore stuff used to be pretty exciting when I was young, but now it doesn't do anything for me. I can only get going with amature stuff online.

To answer your questions more than spout my own opinion on the subject:

Yes, I have gone completely off porn. Both when having a partner and when I was single. It happens; usually because you are more interested in something else.

It eventually went away. I think the most I've gone was around six months without porn or sex. Then something made it interesting again.

What did I do in the meantime? Other things. You don't need to watch porn to get off.

If it's causing you distress, then you might see a doctor. Your interest in sex has to do with a combination of serotonin and dopamine in your head. For example, if you've been diagnosed with depression and are taking a class of antidepressants known as SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors), you will loose libido. This means you might want to watch porn, but it won't get it up for you.

People with mild depression also experience a form of sexual apathy, characterized by being consciously interested in sex, but finding porn or the opposite sex "boring".

Or, you could have been watching too much pron and are sort of on an "overload" phase (too much dopamine). if you cut out porn for a while, eventually your neurological receptors will realign and you'll come back to liking porn.

The thing is, porn -and masturbation- are substitutes for a basic function: reproduction. You have a drive to have sex as part of your biology, hence, you can't stop wanting to have sex. However, you can have momentary things that affect your sex drive. Things that can reduce sex drive:

-Stress.
-Insomnia/insufficient sleep. (Maybe brought on by stress).
-Certain foods.
-Illness (though it can also increase libido).
-Anemia.
-Depression.
-Anxiety.
-Adrenal problems.
-Age. You naturally have less interest in sex as you get older.

You probably don't need to get worried unless it's been several months since you've been interested in porn. Also, loss of libido is not diagnostic of any condition; i.e. if you have anything seriously wrong with you, you'll have other symptoms that will worry you a lot more first.

I find I've gone off the "two or more people just fucking" type and enjoy either something with a flavor/plot (pirates, superheroes, vampires etc.) or porn created by/for women (lesbian videos by Girlfriend Films for example), something with real passion. Check out X-Art, not your typical porn.

 

[haveahardon]

Never gone off porn. Although my "cravings" for certain types change every once in awhile. Perhaps you just need a different kind?

 

[mcman54]

Never ever cared for professional porn but amateur sex, which I prefer to call it rather than porn, is a total turn on. It's real people giving and receiving pleasure in real life. Wonderful to masturbate to.

I've never gone off porn in the 18 odd years I've been watching it but my tastes in porn change quite often.

One day I might fancy some lesbian rimming and the next some DP action. Thank god for the interwebs!

Despite this, I do have a handful of 'go to' clips that work every time.

I think men and women see porn differently and it wouldn't surprise me if more women went off it than men.
