    My girlfriend and I have been together for over 5 years. I believe our relationship is quite strong and happy. I love her personality and I do think she is attractive. She is completely my type being a short, slightly plump, Japanese girl. But I was honest with her from the beginning and expressed to her that I was into larger breasts. She is a b/c cup. Not that I need anything crazy, a full C or larger would be incredible. She explained that that is fine and she was interested in getting a boob job in the future but wanted to achieve more important milestones first like buying a place so we could live together, marriage, etc.

    Of course I very much love her as a person, but I can't deny that, whether it is healthy or not, I've been working hard with the idea that she could get larger breasts as a strong motivator.

    About a year ago, I made friends with a twitch streamer which was very casual. As she streams using an avatar, I had no idea what she looked like. A few months after we started talking, she confided in me about her break up with her boyfriend. It sounded bad so I tried to help her as much as possible, being available to talk to and what not. I eventually became friends with some of her friends and I now consider her and one other as some of my best friends.

    We recently went on vacation to meet them for the first time and I found that she has really large breasts. That wasn't that much of a big deal at the time, but when we left their area, I started to feel a lot of anxiety and was unable sleep for days. Some of the anxiety was due to a different issue that I am working out with a therapist, but I was also faced with the fact that I was comparing my girlfriend to my friend. After some hard thinking, I was confident that I was not romantically interested in my friend.

    Due to the lack of sleep, I was stupid and voiced this to my girlfriend. The wording being, "She's just a friend, but seeing her was a reminder of what I don't have." (referring to her chest) Understandably my girlfriend got very upset. She is a strong person and so she let it go and is trying to get past what I said, but I know I did her damage. Any normal girl probably would have broken up with me after a comment like that. She also took the idea of a boob job off the table because it has obviously become and unhealthy fixation for me. I know she wants me to love her for her no matter how her body changes which is how I also believe it should be.

    After talking with my family and a couple of friends, I believe a big factor in my feelings regarding this has to do with my porn addiction. I don't think my use of porn is that heavy (although I'm sure that's what an addict would say) as I do not have erectile dysfunction issues. And still find my girlfriend attractive, but I do realize that it has been a long standing issue that I cannot ejaculate with intercourse. Also the fact that I objectified my friend and compared my girlfriend. It seems like my "preference" for larger breasts is unhealthily overshadowing what is important in my relationship. That is why I am here and starting this NoFap journey in an attempt to repair our relationship and eliminate any possible things that could hurt us further.

    However, I am also posting this because in speaking with my friends, they have suggested that I look at myself to see what is really important. Maybe large breasts really are that important to me. I know I might have to just get over my porn addiction first to see if that is true. I feel like it would be really stupid to end my incredible relationship just because of tits. However, I don't want to just deny myself for the rest of my life and waste my girlfriends time if it ends up being true that I can't be happy without large breasts.

    Of course I feel so much disgust at myself for saying what I did to her and for being so shallow. I also feel stressed about the uncertainty of how this journey will go, that even if I do get over my porn addiction, my fixation on large breasts will remain and my girlfriend won't be enough unless she gets a boob job. Does anyone have any thoughts on this or insight that could help? Do you think getting over my porn addiction will indeed help this situation?

    In my opinion if you’re only 34 and can’t ejaculate with intercourse, then you do have ED problems and it’s only a matter of time before it turns into pied. My husband took a long time, but could still ejaculate with intercourse until age 45, then pied hit because his use increased. Physical attraction is important, but you better really think about HOW important, because breast cancer can take those big boobs you had to have in a heartbeat. With porn addicts, it’s never enough. I am very curvy. Big boobs, big hips, big butt, and a tiny waist. I fit my husbands ideal ( judging by the posters he had when we met) but my body shape has changed drastically through the years. From super thin, to obese, to normal to pregnant, to very muscular, to flabby, scarred from emergency surgery, wrinkles from growing older…… you get this picture. I can only imagine her breaking up with you because your di** was too small. Yes, giving up porn will help, but it might not take away the attraction completely. It will probably put it more in perspective though as you get more emotionally mature with sobriety and recovery.

    I think there's two separate issues. I agree if you can't ejaculate to intercourse, you're likely on the way to PIED. I would cut out the porn and focus on your sexual relationship.

    The big breasts thing I think is a separate issue. As a man who appreciates a big-bosomed woman, I can tell you that preference is not going to go away when you cut out porn. That's not a weird porn fetish, that's basic sexual attraction. It was there before I watched porn, it's been there after I stopped for years.

    You have to consider whether you're going to be happy with a woman with average-sized breasts. I would hazard a guess that the boob job isn't going to happen. If the proviso is that you get married, settled, have kids, etc., that's just pushing it into the distance. It's very unlikely when you're several hundred grand and a kid into the relationship that she's going to suddenly agree to cosmetic surgery she personally has no interest in. It could happen but I don't think it's remotely likely given that she's already taken it off the table.

    I would consider what it is about your girlfriend that would make her a good life partner and question whether you'd be fulfilled being with her for the rest of your life. Is her having big breasts an essential desire? It sounds like it might be. But then, she may tick other important needs for you in a life partner that would be hard to satisfy elsewhere. You have to ask what boxes she ticks, which she doesn't, and whether these could be fulfilled together elsewhere.

    I put it to you that at 34, your window for finding your busty Japanese wife that ticks all your relationship boxes is closing. You need to think about whether she is 'the one' and if she's not, then get on with finding the right one for you.

    it sounds like you're navigating some deep waters in your relationship, especially concerning your preferences and your girlfriend's feelings. It's tough when personal desires intersect with the feelings of someone you care deeply about.

    Consider flipping the situation for a moment. Imagine if your girlfriend conveyed to you that your physique didn't match her ideal—she wanted you to be taller, more muscular, or have a larger and bigger penis to fulfill her preferences. How would that make you feel? It might raise questions about acceptance and love based on something beyond your control.

    Facing your porn addiction is a good start. It's likely clouding your judgment and inflating these unrealistic physical ideals.

    Realizing the impact of objectifying your friend and comparing her to your GF is a significant realization. It's crucial to distinguish between fantasy (as portrayed in porn) and reality. Often, personal values and connection in a relationship overshadow physical attributes.

    While overcoming a porn addiction might help in gaining clarity, addressing the root of these preferences and understanding the significance of emotional connection in a relationship will be essential. It's about fostering an appreciation for your girlfriend beyond physical attributes.

    Consider exploring this issue further in therapy, as it could provide deeper insights into your desires, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. Building healthier perspectives on intimacy, self-worth, and mutual respect could be pivotal in sustaining a fulfilling relationship.

    Remember, it's not solely about breasts; it's about cherishing and valuing your partner for who she is as a person. Working on these aspects might lead to a more gratifying and lasting connection.
