Your tastes can escalate with PMO but can your tastes escalate with sex?

    Hi, we all know that addiction will lead to escalating porn tastes like from vanilla to hardcore stuff.
    Can this happen also with sex?
     
  2. I think so but at a much lower rate. With porn you have a unlimited supply and access to it, 24/7, but sex not so much.

    If you do it like once in a month or once in 2 weeks, it won't escalate. If you do it everyday with the same girl. Yes it will escalate because of the coolidge effect. (Decreasing dopamine trend with same sexual partner due to lack of novelty.) In my opinion you should never expose yourself to sex that much where it has power to take control over your life.

    Of course and very easily, you can be on the bad side of sex and turn yourself sadistic, full of fetishes and I think it's pretty easy to go that road, always see sex as a way of experience new things but remember it's an spiritual act, something to do with a person you love, something you enjoy and makes you more human not more animal.
     
  5. Yes. In the end, Hugh Heffner had to watch gay porn while having sex with women because he couldn't get off with all the beautiful women he had at his disposal.

    Read about any historical figure driven by sex - eventually they escalate to more and more deviant behavior to get the next 'high' this is why so many men with access to hundreds of beautiful women in their harems (think of Roman emperors, sultans) escalated their behaviors and got less and less satisfaction and became more and more cruel and sadistic.

    it most definitely can, it happened to me in the end it was not enough just watching porn and I had to act out fantasies and fetiches in real life which just made me feel horrible and very confused. But that is years a go now but but it still messes with my mind. But I'm on the road to recovery now!

    I agree that it can but having another person involved I think will keep it in check more than unregulated porn alone. If you SO was open to watching porn would you go to last favorite video? Heck no, you would be scared as hell to be judged by what you liked. Even if your best bud commented over a great video you wouldn’t reply with what you actually liked. The fear and the shame guys keep this going. My AP has me on his list. I am sure he would think twice if he were to watch anything not for the fact he was watching porn but by what I would see that he was watching. It’s a viscous cycle that keeps growing.
