Many years ago, I stopped watching porn & masturbating. It was a great decision & ive kept that going.
I used to get anxious if I went 2-3 weeks without sex. I can go a little longer than that now but I need sex to function properly. 2 months is about the longest I can go without significant mental health affects.
Regular sex also keeps me from desiring to watch porn or masturbate.
In my matrix days (not long ago LOL) I had a fwb that sex with her was not enjoyable (so I thought) I was living the fantasy of porn, you know doing all naughty things, like hitting her, talking dirty, I enjoy pron more that being with a woman.
After I unplugged I stopped pron, dude I'm telling it took me a month to start feeling pleasure from a woman, to maintain it hard, it was all in my mind, after that, I enjoy sex, I get its not like the fantasy of pron, but its much better, its real and I get to talk dirty and try new things.
And whenever I'm horny, I prefer a woman over pron, I want sex and I like the hugging and pillow talk after.
I see it like enjoying working, there are few days I don't want it, but 90% I want it cause I enjoy it.
The difference in my plugged days I needed it cause I felt validated by sex. I know I made this post about me, but I want to know if this is how it suppose to be, an enjoyable activity like every other one.
