Maybe once per month? Probably less. I really tend to prefer audio and text.
Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Somewhere between “every other day” and “every other week”
I see tits everywhere....
hourly.
"Watch" is entirely too passive a verb
"Fine, I'll do it myself!" - nymnympsuedonym.
It depends on my mental health. During certain periods, it's every day. Other periods, nothing for a month or so. The worse my mental condition, the more I watch. Not that I pretend to know what the "real" or "correct" way to watch porn is, but I only ever use it as a coping mechanism. It helps me escape reality for a few minutes. Recently, I have begun trying to limit my consumption, because I don't really want to escape reality. As of today, I haven't watched anything for about two weeks.
Same. If I'm at home trying to sleep I will genuinely have a panic attack without it. It's the only thing that strongly occupies my attention enough to prevent a panic attack from setting in (that I can do while in bed)
Anything else is not personally engaging enough to prevent my mind from wandering (like listening to music, browsing Lemmy, or reading)
Occasionally. It's frustrating that most free porn sites are kind of bad at search and filter. You'd think a tagging system would be easy to implement but most sites seem to just have a barely functional search.
Not at all mainly read erotica instead.
Any suggestions other than Literotica
I would poke around "romantasy" style fiction books. There's a lot of erotica in there and a pretty large fan base.
I've toned down the porn and trained my brain to settle (usually) for clothed images of hot people and its imagination. It feels better and it leaves more room for escalation
It's probably been years. I prefer to read my porn. My brain just can't get around the fact that so much porn is non consensual, there's a lot of human trafficking, and even the ones who do consent aren't usually being paid well. And there's not a very good way to sus out the more ethical to the less ethical porn. Also the second someone starts obviously faking things, it ruins everything for me so, reading it is just significantly easier for me.

some folks pay extra for that.
It varies as with anything in life. Sometimes it’s every day, sometimes I’ll go months without.
My wife and I used to watch porn very often. Nowadays it's almost never. I cannot speak for her but for me the fakeness of it all became very cringey for me. Now, if I do watch, I stick to Lustery. It's a site that focuses on real couples. Watching loving couples laughing and enjoying each other is a lot hotter to me than most of the fake stuff out there.
Hilariously, many couples post travel vlogs with a sprinkle of sex in the end. I tend to watch the travel bit and skip the sex because I'm far more interested in the non-touristy places they go because the income comes from the porn bit rather than trying to be an influencer.

That's actually so clever! Paid to do what you love, on both fronts

So hot! I've really enjoyed the evolution of porn in this way. So many candid, loving couples having fun together!
Where are these at?
In Lustery.
Every day.
I prefer audio
Is there a podcast you subscribe to or something?
Shibby is good as another commenter mentioned. If you don't mind visiting Reddit there's an erotic audio sub there that is unfortunately quite good and I don't really know a better source.
Try shibby, she has her own site
Used to watch almost every day, then I started HRT. Now I never watch.
that's rather interesting. most that I heard of, it was the opposite.
was your therapist surprised?
High Resistance Training?
Hormonal Replacement Therapy
Horny Resistance Training
Got bonked too many times.
Got a job at Hudson River Trading.
Never.
What are you, southern Baptist?
Heh, no 😂 I just don't like it. Erotica art without sex is max that I like in this regard.
Alright jim haggerty.
This is one of my favorite bits they do
Most relevant line,
"When correctly viewed, everything is lewd...
"I can tell you things about Peter Pan, and the Wizard of Oz is a dirty old man.
Less often than I fuck.
Good answer 👍
I think I've conditioned myself to the point where it's it's pretty rare I go a day without watching at least one thing. Doesn't mean I always DO anything while watching, but that's an answer for another question.
Just watch? Everyday someone will send me a porn for sure somewhere, or it could be that I search for it. But surely at least one a day
Someone sends you a porn every day? What kind of friend group or polycule do you have going on?
goon platoon
Not gonna lie...I fuckin love that as a group name
