does this count
does watching tapes me and my partner have made have the same effect on my brain as porn? in order to actually recover and rewire my brain should i not watch these also or do they not count

I have been asking the same question to myself Angelo, as I am in the same boat. But I don’t feel the shame when I watch the ones we made as I do porn. I would say I agree with James though as soon as I feel the urge to look elsewhere is a sign that the videos have to go. Fortunately I haven’t looked elsewhere. So I can keep them for now. I just don’t like the thought of losing something that I feel adds intimacy in my relationship especially when we do distance.
to me, yes that would count as porn. A visual stimulate through a video that arouses sexually you that isn’t sex. Sounds like porn to me. Just my opinion
Depends on your circumstances I would say dude. If it makes you feel conflicted I would say cut it out. If I was you, I would cut it out and focus that energy on your relationship. Try and go cold turkey and cut out anything that causes you to lust to a screen or images - and focus on turning that into intimacy with your partner. If you really struggle with cold turkey you could use it as a temporary measure to wean yourself off of pornography, but I would say try and stay away for the moment and see how you get on. You’ve got this brother
I would say that it’s not porn, though I think you still need to monitor your dependency on using that to get off over your partner. IMO I think it’s a great way to ween off porn as like almost a middle ground where you can find the appreciation you have for you and your partners relationship with each other
