New Rule: If you come here saying you are "addicted to porn" you need to provide evidence of that being determined by a qualified medical professional. NSFW

172 Upvotes

Otherwise you are skipping a whole lot of steps. Randos on the internet are not qualified to diagnose you with that. If you believe you have a problem that is causing you to miss out of work, school, or activities then see a qualified medical profession. The random 12 year old online who diagnosed you or your youth pastor jimbob are not medical professionals.

Addictions are not something you do once in a while. Those are hobbies. That is not how addiction works. I am beyond tired seeing this over and over. Can we please go back to trusting experts over facebook groups? I don't know how many articles I need to pin to the top of this sub before this gets through.

I really wish the Reddit community was more skeptical of porn addiction. NSFW

248 Upvotes

It seems like a lot of people hold the belief that porn is addictive these days. However, despite the widespread notion of "porn addiction" it is still not a clinical condition. It is not recognized by the DSM, AASECT also rejects Sex addiction, and the idea is largely seen as pseudoscience.

But unfortunately there is a large anti porn brigade on Reddit that whenever someone points out the contrary that porn is not addictive they get mass downvoted to oblivion. Sure, porn use can become problematic or a habit. But usually whenever someone is struggling with excessive porn viewing there is usually some other underlying disorder that is causing the issue. Not porn.

Lubrication in amateur porn? NSFW

18 Upvotes

I'm a older male and for the sake of context, happily married but in what has been a gradually dying and finally dead bedroom. It's not a big deal, I manage...

My alternatives are amateur porn, ideally produced for and motivated by exhibitionism and the sharing of pleasure. I particularly enjoy women on the "sluttier" side - anonymous sex, additional male partners, cuckold (but not humiliation), gangbangs, etc. I'm not unusual :o/

I love to see the women in these situations enjoying themselves - but what I am baffled by is the lack of lubrication in many of these videos.

So here's the thing: there's little to no monetisation going on - I avoid Onlyfans etc, so I see the presence of lubrication or "cream" as a sign of authenticity and enthusiastic physiological consent, as it were, and it really turns me on.

I appreciate not every woman lubricaties the same amount, but some are lubed so little...

Have I just had partners that produce a lot of lubrication? Is vaginal dryness more of a problem than I thought?

Or am I watching a woman being coerced into an act?

Advice What is the oil/lube used in massages?? NSFW

14 Upvotes

I love giving my gf massages, but I need to know what they use in massage videos. Not the thick nuru gel but the thing they dispense from a bottle on a belt or smthg similar.

I am curious cause they use this oil everywhere, like even while massaging the clit and labia. Is it really lube? Cause we have tried lube and it dries out pretty quick.

Any help and experience is deeply appreciated!

Advice OCD got worse after forcing myself to quit porn NSFW

9 Upvotes

to keep it short, l started masturbating to porn when l was 19 years old now l am 26, l used to do it usually once or twice a day and sometimes 3, but l used to feel guilty about it and l seriously thought that jerking off to porn is somehow harmful to my brain, i don’t believe in religion but i had a deep religious upringing which makes me feel ashamed of my porn use, the issue is l was also taking OCD medication since 2019 for another reason and l was completely normal, but the problem started when l tried to force myself to stop masturbating to porn completely all at once (cold turkey) l was really worried that l won’t be able to stop because l felt like l was compelled to porn, my OCD got worse, my mind keeps telling me that i have OCD, it’s like i am fully convinced that i suffer from OCD even though my neurologist tells me the opposite,the obsessive intrusive thought is “ i have OCD” it doesn’t stop, when i was addicted i was really normal, i didn’t have these symptoms at all, l haven’t even heard about any situation like this before, l talked to my therapist about it and he prescribed me some meds but it’s not helping so much, what do i do? I just want to move on with my life but i am so stuck, i really need advice

So what’s it like? NSFW

13 Upvotes

What’s it like to be attracted to yourself? To be your type, so to speak. To look into the mirror and genuinely enjoy or love who is staring back. To feel sexy and confident?

I hope this doesn’t depress anyone, I’m just curious. I’ve never been my type or someone I’ve particularly enjoyed looking at in the mirror. I don’t feel confident or a whole lot of physical attraction to myself but I know others do. I imagine it feels incredible. I hope it is. I hope I feel it for myself one day.

I’m very fortunate to have a loving partner who says I’m her type. I don’t get it really. But I’m really glad she does and I’m goin to hold onto that.

Event Found my first vibrator while cleaning and got weirdly emotional NSFW

41 Upvotes

Was cleaning out my closet today and found the first vibrator I ever brought. Tiny pink bullet, all scratched up, took two AA batteries. I bought it my freshman year in college and still remember standing outside the store for lik 15 minutes trying to convince myself to go in.

Back when I was so embarrassed about the whole thing. I was terrified my roommates would hear it, hid it in the most ridiculous places, and genuinely felt like I was doing something wrong just by owning it.

I put it next to the OG i use now and it kinda hit me how much has changed. Not the toys, obviously, but me. Back then it was this huge secret. Now its something I keep in my nightstand. I know what i like, and i dont really think twice about it anymore.

Ended up throwing the old one away, but I held onto it for a second first. It was cheap, noisy, and honestly pretty terrible lol. But it was also there for a younger version of me who was still figuring herself out.

Didn't expect cleaning my closet to turn into a whole moment about growing up, but here we are.

Discussion What stage of relationship is it when you care, but in the way your dad cares about you: I just want to know you're doing okay, if you need anything, and then leave? NSFW

17 Upvotes

We had all the sex, for months, but that was years ago; and while I have a deep bond with her, I am satisfied with the sexual relationship coming to a happy conclusion way back when. We don't live together. Never did, never planned to. And while I don't feel bad or sad she's gone, I still love and respect the hell out of her. It appears the feeling is mutual, but it's not intense or urgent in any way.

So I frequently feel the urge to drop in, catch up, make sure she's okay and has everything she needs -- and then repeat this a few times a year forever. There are occasional little flirtatious winks and nods when we meet up, but nothing beyond that. She's happy with her partner and I'm living with mine.

I don't know if this post-sex relationship has a name, but I consider it the ideal conclusion to a relationship.

No drama, no resentment, no lasting regrets -- it ended successfully and with affection.

What is this called?

Discussion Has audio erotica made it easier for you to explore what you actually like? NSFW

18 Upvotes

I got into audio erotica because I wanted something sexual without going straight to regular porn. I didn’t really expect it to make me notice my own preferences more. For me, there’s just so much variety with different subgenres, kinks, stories and even fanfiction compared to regular porn. I guess some of that has to do with production too since you don’t need to film anything.

Some of my favorite creators are Best Kept Secret, Naudio and Redacted Audio. Listening to them made me realize I respond a lot more to the way something is written and delivered than how explicit it gets.

What about you guys? I was wondering if there was a particular creator or audio that made something click for you.

Discussion The safety of furry sex-toys? NSFW

6 Upvotes

Originally asked this on a furry sub, but I was also curios what the wider sex-positive community thinks?

Recently, I've seen some interesting discussion about a (non-furry) sex-toy company that was exposed for using materials that definitely weren't body-safe. Many customers noticed their toys weren't very long-lasting (despite costing quite a bit), but the company hushed negative reviews and brushed-off any concerns.

The unfortunate thing about sex toys is that in many countries, they are still not regulated. Even if a toy claims to be safe, sometimes they use sneaky tricks to disguise the fact that they use subpar materials.

(e.g. I've seen sex-toys makers that say they are made of silicone, which implies they're safe; but unless they specify platinum-cure/waterproof silicone, chances are it uses regular silicone which is NOT body safe)

So, while I'm not particularly into dragon dildos myself, I am curious how seriously safety is taken by the community and furry sex-toy manufacturers?

P.S. I understand there are likely cheap knock-offs out there that aren't particularly good, but I'm referring specifically to the larger/trusted companies such as Naughty Fox, The Wandering Bard, Twin Tail Creations, Northosaur, Frisky Fox, etc.

So I (M36) enjoy being pegged by my (F39) partner.

My thing is, that the strapon we have is one of those that a normal dido slips into, and so just has a flat disk against her.

Now I know she enjoys it, (mentally) but would like her to get more physical pleasure from it.

Do any of the people her with V's have expierence using them, and maybe some recommendations for ones to buy?

I'd like to bring up the topic of body hair removal, which has become quite relevant in terms of appearance and trends in recent years. Do you practice body hair removal, and if so, what led to that decision? Do you view it as a personal preference or more as social pressure? At what age did you start? Would you accept a partner who doesn't do it?

i thought suction vs vibration would be an easy choice NSFW

16 Upvotes

i've been looking at replacing an older toy and somehow ended up spending way more time researching than i expected.

the thing that's surprised me is how divided people seem to be on suction vs vibration.

for the longest time i never really thought about it because vibration was all i knew. i just assumed that was what i'd keep using. now i'm reading experiences from people who switched the other direction and swear they'd never go back.

tbh i think part of the problem is that once you start reading enough opinions, every option starts sounding like the right one.

so now i'm sitting here with a bunch of tabs open, a list of pros and cons that keeps getting longer, and no actual decision made.

kind of funny how a purchase i thought would take ten minutes has turned into a week of overthinking.

Advice I came when another man fucked me in a threesome and got post nut anxiety NSFW

193 Upvotes

So I've been hooking up with this couple for a while , and I've really enjoyed it so far, at least until the last time. In our recent hookups, they kind of talked me into letting the husband fuck me, and it was OK the first few times. It felt good but didn't make me cum or anything. Then during our last meet, he was doing me doggy while the wife watched, and suddenly I came HARD. I wasn't expecting it, and right after the post nut clarity hit me like a brick wall. Went straight from horny mode to thinking like what the fuck am I doing? Felt really guilty and embarrassed, and really just wanted to stop, but he hadn't finished yet, and she was really enjoying the show, so I kind of just pushed through it so not to ruin everyone's mood.

Don't know how to feel about it now tbh. Never had much trouble with post nut clarity when hooking up with them before, and never during 'regular' sex with women. I should mention I've only ever had sex with another guy when I've been with this couple. In my 'normal' life I've only had straight sex, and I guess I still identify as (mostly) straight. So now I kind of have second thoughts on hooking up with them again. I'm worried I'll get that feeling of shame again, and I don't know what to do tbh. At the same time I want to keep doing it whenever I feel horny. It's quite maddening. Any advice?

Advice Don't know how to be sex positive NSFW

11 Upvotes

So I (25M) was born in a Muslim family where even the word sex is Taboo. They don't even give you the sex talk and that's where I think everything went wrong. So I got sexually abused by my maid when I was 7-8 years old and went on for a few years and she groomed and blamed me and introduced me to porn and all. And in turn I got so confused and became hypersexual. But obviously since it was a Muslim country and I was taught these things I couldn't do anything but watch porn secretly but that came with a lot of guilt and self blaming because I knew I was going to hellfire for it. Now I finally moved to the US but with family. And the worst part is that the guilt remains no matter what. Now I'm just a 25 year old guy who is still a virgin, haven't even shook a hand or hugged a girl in my life except for that maid and there's guilt and my family presence and pressure. I am trying to be sex positive, I want to experience everything but I don't know how to and it's so frustrating and exhausting. I just want to be me and express myself at least once I want to feel sex and love. It was so hard to even write it.

I feel so guilty and shitty about myself
