Is objectifying physical women really much better than virtual?

It's not good but it's better and it's it's dangerous reason being you may know you'll never end up with her and seek porn again

 

As one of these guys with this viewpoint, I could give some answers, as well I have some questions.

I'm on a good streak and whilst not quite forgetting about P and the women, it is not really at the forefront of my mind, and indeed I do find looking at real women arousing in some type of way.

I find the feelings to be slightly different. For a P actress, these thoughts are only really sexual and nothing beyond that. For women in real life, I find the case to be different. For those I don't have to talk to, ie. at the gym I have to constantly remind myself that they are human beings as well, the sexual edge drops away after that. Admittedly for a split second there is a similar dopamine rush, after that is fine.

I have a problem in that I have to talk to a real attractive woman for 45 minutes a week, and eye contact is required (it would look stupid and rude if I didn't). Despite there being nothing in it for me at all (I have a partner), when she looks at me I feel slightly intimidated, on edge, but not in a bad way.

So perhaps I may assume this is a prolonged dopamine fix, but is that any healthier than porn? I don't have any real sexual thoughts about this lady either. I tried, but it seemed a bit too strange.
