Using porn to avoid real life sex. Anyone else?

    Hey guys, saw this on reddit and casually decided to give up porn! A realisation hit me on day three: Porn has been an outlet to avoid dealing with strong anxieties of dating/hookups/real life sexual interaction.

    Anyone have/had this problem? Does anyone have tips for dealing with such anxieties?




    My experience:

    If I fap, it somehow suppresses any desires. By day three of NoFap, the tension was so great I was going crazy, couldn't stop thinking about sex, bring the fears to the forefront constantly. The anxiety ruined my focus!

    Stay on course bro. Focus on something else you enjoy. Do some intense exercise to relieve the tension. Join a workout group or something similar where you can meet and socialize with other people. All the best bro.

    Hey everyone,
    Just wanted to share how I cracked this problem: https://www.google.ca/search?q=sex+performance+anxiety

    Reading about Sexual Performance Anxiety and then just finding a hookup, going and doing it... this really helped me escape the psychological trap I was in.
