Curious

Hi! I'm Aaron.

I don't really know what to put here but I thought it best to introduce myself instead off lurking/not posting, and to give a bit of background to hear what the rest of you think about my situation. It also proves to be a pretty epic ice breaker "hi im aaron i think i have a porn addiction how r u"

Spoiler: Story time

Anyway. I started watching porn when I was around 11-12 years old (I think?), so porn has played a huge part in my adolescence I guess. Over the past few years my sexual appetite has become more and more adventurous, and I've recently been aware of the fact I'm seeking out more hardcore/different things to try and fuel my appetite.

Just for context: I'm gay and have been finding sex to be less and less enjoyable. I'd rather masturbate by myself than have sex with somebody else. I've found that the only way I can climax is by masturbating myself, including when having sex with somebody else. I find sex arousing, but not as arousing as I think I should. When I compare sex recently to my first time, I don't enjoy it nearly as much as I did.

I tend to masturabate once/twice a day, and over the past couple of months I can't remember a single time I have done so without looking at hardcore porn (either videos or pictures). I can masturbate/orgasm without porn but I perfer not to.

I'm really confused as to whether I have a porn problem/addiction or not, but I really think everybody can benefit from a reboot regardless so I'm going to see how long I can go without looking at any kind of porn.

I'm interested to know what you guys think about my sitch!

Nice to meet you all. This is the weirdest introduction I've ever had to do
