Why do guys with attractive girlfriends still turn to porn?

    I mean, as someone who's never had sex, it seems like it would be far more exciting and provide way more of a rush than porn ever could. I don't understand how a guy who has an attractive girlfriend with a high sex drive would rather watch porn. The only reason I ever turned to porn was because I'm rather antisocial and porn was always the easiest way for me to get off. But if I had a girlfriend, I'd much rather have sex with her than look at porn.

    Is it just something the brain quickly adapts to, no matter how attractive the woman is?

    Although porn offers unlimited novelty, at the end of the day it's just images of a screen, so why do some guys seem to prefer it over the real thing?
     
  2. If you are superficial enough to get with a woman long term for her looks alone, then you will never be satisfied.
     
  3. Becoz porn is more super stimulus than any other real living thing in this world.

  4. Because in most cases their experience with porn predates their experience with a girlfriend by several or many years. If they are used to the novelty of dozens or more likely hundreds of women having sex in one session, no girlfriend can compete with that.

    I agree with the things other guys here have said. And I think a lot of men are sexually frustrated in relationships. They don't talk to their girlfriend and work out what they really want or need, or else know they're interested in doing x but don't dare discuss it so it's easier just look for x porn.

    The danger is that they they get into a cycle of porn-induced stuff by escalating to y, which their gf also doesn;t do, so that's another cause of frustration. In the end your actual "sex life" is porn.

    All this time he's got less interested in her, so she feels less sexy and there's just less sex or no sex.

    We each need to find our own ways through this. Absolutely we need to free ourselves from porn induced fetishes. I also think it's about working out what you really need deep down sexually as a man (we're all different) being honest and talking about it so that you can work out with your gf or wife what a great sex life would be for both of you.
     
  6. if i had a girlfriend i think i would never watcheporn again i would just have sex with her and other things for fun like whatever we both enjoy like maybe going to the movies talking learning about each other go shopping go to eat. games to watch and play what ever it dont have to be just sex just a relationship let the love making come naturally this is true love

  7. i know movie don jon shows you can have a girlfriend and still be addicted to porn but at the end of the movie he learned how to lose himself in his partner instead of porn to overcome the addiction so if i had a partner i would do the same to overcome my addiction
     
  8. If you're suffering from a porn addiction, this is a pretty naive belief. There are many people here in marriages or committed relationships with willing partners, that are struggling to quit porn.

    I agree. If you're experienced at relationships you know this kind of thing can happen.
     
  10. i believe this is true but also why they are still addicted is because they go to it and isolate themselves to do the deed instead of stay connected to the partner same why the devil got adam and eve to sin its the temptation of looking thinking and doing but if you dont look it keeps the temptation off and when you dont think about it your less likely to do it

    I guess its the nature of man. Generally men are more sex crazed than women. The grass is always greener on the other side. U could hook up with a stunning super model, but a minute later u will probably see another woman thats much more attractive. Same logic with cars, houses etc.

    Temptations every where. I mean just get on a train and see how women are constantly stroking their hair or doing silly things to try get your attention lol. Im not saying all women are like this, but its happening more and more. Im muslim and technically im allowed up to 4 wives haha. Its better than cheating. Any how its expensive and 1 headache is enough :) we have a concept of lowering the gaze. I like staring at the floor or daydreaming when im on a train.

    I am a fat guy (I wasn’t when I got married)
    My wife was a little overweight when we got married.

    After a few years of marriage, she lost 20 pounds and I gained 20 pounds.

    I get looks all the time from men because my wife is super hot. And I’m not (anymore). I’m now bald and overweight.

    Anyway, the answer to that question is that porn is an addiction, and addictions cause you to do stupid and irrational things.
    I can remember Sitting at my computer hoping that my wife wouldnt catch me watching porn, and all along I could have simply gone down to our bedroom and had sex.
    There’s more to it than that though. When men masturbate frequently, they become very good at pleasuring themselves. Add the excitement and erotica of porn, and you’ve got a terrible combination that can cause you to ignore a beautiful woman!

    Look at Hugh Hefner. That fucker couldn’t get off unless he was doing it himself! How pathetic is that? There’s almost a perfect example of the power of addiction. He could have all these ladies, but he couldn’t O without doing it manually.

    Most PMO addicts say that and think it but when they are in a relationship with a woman who wants sex all the time, they turn them down in favor of PMO. The reason is a PMO addiction has little to do with sex. It’s an addiction like any other, a coping mechanism. Sex is not a coping mechanism.
     
  16. Yes that makes sense a lot of married people do have porn addiction
     
  17. How can we beat the addiction

    I have had a number of sexual partners before marrying a tier one woman in appearance. So why? Because porn is easy. Sex is not always easy in real life. Porn never rejects you. Its always available and always ready for you. Also women in real life dont just live for getting dicked like women in porn do. Real women are not desperate for you to do all sorts of shameful things to them so that they can have their sexual needs satisfied. They don’t worship your dick in real life.

    Porn signals to a mans brain that he has reached the very peak of sexual dominance, then real life kicks you in the balls and you have to learn how to like sex without all of that.

    Certainly been my experience that basically, more good sex = less porn.

    But of course real relationships aren't just about great sex.

    Challanges come along, wereby you can either work on your relationship or just slap a bit of porn on and have a wank.

    There begins a vicious circle...

    Dissatisfaction > porn > mediocre, half-hearted sex > porn > dissatisfaction.

    It’s not assumption, its the truth. Often the reason the woman does not want to have sex with you is because you are treating her like a porn star in bed, emotionally detached from the relationship. Are you saying you neve used porn before you met her? I doubt it. Rather than trying to deal with why she was not interested in sex, you turned to PMO because it was easier. And to be clear, while many men say they turn to porn due to sexual rejection, PMO is just that an addiction. That’s like saying I am an alcoholic but it’s my wife’s fault I drink. No. It’s your fault and yours alone. Men enter relationships thinking that sex is something that is guaranteed to them, that’s a porn mentality. I can see in your writing that you are struggling rom porn mentality. If a man cannot get past that, meaning that sex is for his release, he is owed it, and that is what his partner is there for, your partner will indeed never want to have sex with you.
