P*rn is disgusting.

I rarely watch porn and when I do, it's only like solo stuff, maybe another girl giving a hand... but today I went for something 'normal' and god it just made me... I actually felt like crying so I've decided to completely cut out porn. Stick to magazines and photos, anyone else feel the same?

I guess I felt like crying because as disgusting as it was, it turned me on... I felt too grossed out in the end and stopped but I thought to myself how us thus so normal? I'm 18 and feel this way but somewhere a 12 year old is loving this stuff :frown:
Most porn is crap, often in multiple ways. But, especially at first, it can still be a turn on. That's what it's expected to do, just as comedy films are supposed to make you laugh.

Looks like you need to watch more and find a category that you like
I suggest checking out your brain on porn, no fap, various porn related ted talks. The gail dines one is good one if you're a girl.
I quit porn 2 years ago was completely addicted to it, became desensitised to the 'normal' stuff and started watching (although not illegal) videos I was not comfortable with. I've been on no fap since. Its interesting topic actually because no fap trend is really kicking off now so hopefully it will get some major publicity.

Hmmm I don't know about doing No fap, I'm not into porn a lot as I said and I barely fap anyway (like once a week), when I do I'll usually just close my eyes and do whatever or I'd look at solo or something soft, never really been into the whole idea of watching a girl have sex since most porn is rough, if it's something where you can see love making I enjoy it but it's so rare I don't even bother because I'll be turned off by time I find it and come across all the gross videos of women being degraded along the way.

I'm glad you've done what's best for your mind and future relationships, takes a huge amount of strength but it'll pay off when you enter a relationship. I just worry how some people enter into relationships expecting this stuff or grow up thinking it's normal, it's a crazy world.
My thoughts exactly whats wrong with picking up a prossy in leeds like in the good old days.
This isn't my experience at all. I've mostly been into girl-on-girl which for the most part isn't really degrading at all (though that's not why it's what I've mostly been into). Honestly watching porn and masturbating are both normal and natural things and shouldn't be discouraged (which i feel is at least in part counter to the points of some other people in this thread). It's when you're addicted to it, can't get off without it and/or expect that it's normal in real life that you should reconsider your habits. My point is that depriving yourself of porn may not be all that healthy and that plenty of it exists that isn't at all hardcore or degrading.

Masturbation is maybe natural but porn is far from it. The male brain has not evolved enough to realise the pixels on screen are not real. It thinks it's hit the jackpot and releases unnatural amounts of dopamine to fire the male up and reproduce with them. Especially if it's one of those videos which switches between scenes quickly the brain is in overdrive.

There's been porn since the invention of art. There's been 'moving images' porn since about the day after the invention of cinema.

True but those are no match for tube sites tube has - HD, VR, endless supply and variety, more extreme, free and don't have to go to shops or cinema to buy it

I didn't say porn itself is natural. I said watching it is. Just like having fantasies (however hardcore or unrealistic) is natural as long as you manage your expectations of their manifestations of lack thereof in real life.

I know I said I would be leaving, but I’m back for this one-off comment.

I have literally never used porn sites. Porn sites are disgusting and horrible. When I see an image of porn, it is actually so disgusting.

I’m not the kind of person who would be off watching porn.
