Does porn diminish sex drive?

[Macks]

I was thinking about this earlier as I class myself as a porn addict. Do you guys/gals reckon that too much porn diminishes your will to pork the fairer sex? For example, seeing so much visually on the screen I am finding I am becoming de-sensitised to real life encounters. I mean when you've seen girls in porn and then are fronted with a average girl next door stood starkers do you still get aroused?

Any other addicts share their experiences?

Is there a Porno anonymous I can join? If not just to hear someone say "Hi my name is blah blah and I haven't wanked for blah days";-)

To a certain extent I guess. It's the old 'sweetshop syndrome.' You only want what you think you can't have. I often have some of he most gorgeous dollies in the land parading starkers around my gaff and it's very rare I even feel a tinge. I'm far to busy fiddling with my apertures and white balance. Funny thing is though when I play the video back it always seems sexier than when I was actually there on the case.

It?s very rare I actually sit down to watch anything nowadays. One reason is that I'm far to busy creating films, web pages, magazines, never mind the admin and my outside business interests. The other reason is that I find the vast majority of new porno totally artificial, unerotic and even nauseatingly offensive in many cases. However, I did sit down and have of good watch of Michael Ninn's 'Dream Catch' the other night starring saucy Dutch tart Helen Duval - why can't Brit porn stars be as attractive as her? - and I was mightily impressed - stunning imagery and photography, beautifully judged use of music and the delectable Helen herself even had my jaded stonka throbbing with delight!

P.S. 'Dream Catcher' available now from you know who...

Fair point and good question.
The answer can only lie with the individual. Glamour photographers for instance, spend their days year and year out shooting naked/sexily dressed girls, sometimes with vibrator, and they might as well be shooting giraffes. It is a business and their whole objective is " can I sell these pix"

Same with video except that it is live and of course, a lot more explicit. But the objective is the same.

When I take test shots of naked girls, it means nothing in terms of arousal - they are not there to fuck me or whatever, they are there for me to help them make a few bob, extracurricular to their normal income (or benefit).

By definition, my own series of "Interviews" is just that - what you see is what you get and of course I DO get aroused, but again it is for biz(sometimes it is difficult because I am either full of scotch, or do not really fancy the lady) Somtimes it pans out and the girl becomes "something", even - over the years - a STAR

Personally the nicest thing I get out of this biz is Xmas cards, birthday cards and girls dropping in to my place that I have not seen for some years. It happened last week - Anyone remember Donna?

Should you have difficulty being aroused under "normal" circumstances, I would suggest that the reason is psychological rather than visual or physical.

To return to you original Q. this is not drunken rambling but a serious answer to your question and I assume that you are not alone, but at least you had the balls to ask

"Not to know is ignorance" (In the dictionary sense, i.e. 'Not to know') Not as it is used, to call someone "thick".

"Not to want to know" is sheer stupidity.

We all learn by our experiences or by asking of others.

I believe porn can make you jaded to more porn but not to real life encounters. The feeling you get from interaction with a real woman is totally diifferent from the effect of a porn video. An example would be that in real life I could get turned on by the way a girl looks at me if there is a chemistry or mutual attraction between us. Thats the sort of human effect that a video can not produce. A good vid can still cause sexual arousal but not the rush of adrenaline and hormones which contact wit a real girl can produce. I wont get onto the subject of "relationships" or "feelings" as I fear the younger forumites will take the piss and say "look at soppy magoo blathering on about having emotions".

Magoo
You are right on the money.
I hope and trust that our (young?) friend Macks will take due note and hopefully view life in a different way.
Let there be light.

Magoo is damn' right......tactility/eyes contact/flirting/blah blah.......
I'd say it's INCREASED my sex-obsession, rather than the converse.

I have just optimised over 50,000 pictures for a new site which is set to be the UK's biggest ever paysite. I gave Woodgnome a free pass to see the content prior to release, he said it is amazing...I have become totally 'immune' to it in that I am looking at each pciture and video thinking "hurry up and get to the right file size"...but then my girlfriend is o/f topic here as you are now no longer allowed to ask if she does hardcore as she hasn't!!!..does it with me everynight...and yes she does do anal and facials....

[David Spenser]

From a professional standpoint, I'm still the same overly-horny bastard I was when I got into this business. And that was over 14 years ago. It doesn't diminish your sex drive, but it certainly makes your hair fall out.

[Macks]

Thanks guys, was interesting to get other viewpoints etc. I totally agree with Magoo about interacting with a g/f. That's something entirely different. I can get very aroused at the mere touch with the right woman. What I was wondering was that initial moment when you first see naked flesh and the girl is wondering or verbalises the fact that William doesn't appear to be interested. I mean I can remember a time when Willy would salute at the mere sight of flesh, before my pre-occupation with porn.

One apparent remedy that I've come across is to take a break from porn. But I find this difficult even when in a relationship. Do you guys in long term relationships who are getting boinked every Sat night still use porn to wank?

There's also the escalation of what I need to see in porn to get off. This can be drawn to the analogy of drugs where some argue soft drugs can lead to harder stuff. I remember the day when seeing a pair of tits in the daily paper would get me going. This led to top shelf stuff then the videos from the local rental shop. This in turn moved to Sky and the stuff that was on the foreign channels to a fully motorised dish to view the hardcore stuff. Anyone else share the same experiences?

From a female point of view I don't think it does, I find porn to be a huge turn on...and perhaps it's just coincidence but the only time I ever seem to have anal sex is after watching porn!
