    im sure You guys know by now that porn ruins your body image with most preformers being touched up with makeup or in photo editing that by watching this it so regularly causes me to feel insecure about my looks. In the last year and a half ive becomed obsessed with my physique or others.

    I go to the gym everyday to try and achieve the body i see on the preformers. As a gay man this is a very triggering viscious cycle because the gym is full of guys who are in grest shape and when im there all i can think about is how mych all these guys remind me of P stars- p.s. alot lf Gay P is focused or setup around being a masculine alpha male jock with scenes centered around working out- It's a major theme. i cant help but to PMO after every workout while fantasizing about what i saw. I always feel sadness and self loathing when im doing it thinking of how ill never look like these very unaturally muscular men, yet somehow theres a part in my brain that PMOs ro thse images of the type of physique that if i PMO to that i will somehow be closer to becoming like the images i see on the screen.

    No way in hell am i giving up my membership or am i gong to quit working out, but i just wanted to share a struggle that most guys on here probably never thought of or dont understand.

    Yes, it is an interesting take that I haven't thought about. When I go to the gym, there are indeed tons of fit guys and at most I find it motivating. Sure there are 5 girls for every 50 guys, so I never really run into the same issues (I'd literally have to seek them out). If I imagine the inverse, I'd probably want to MO after all that as well. Having that many girls in one workout weight room would be insane.

    This is how most coed gyms are. The majority of the guys are in the weight room(s). As for the majority of the women? They are taking classes.

    I have a silly tip that may not apply to you, but, when I got to the gym and work out in the main room with a lot of people around, I take off my glasses, so everyone looks a little blurry! This way, I feel more private and comfortable!

    Really the opposite because then I mistake them all as looking like P stars bc I have a vague idea of their face. I'm very disordered.
