Bit of a confusing topic for me. Has anyone else found their desire in people vary when coming off porn use? I feel like for years I could just satisfy myself with porn. For example *Trigger warning*, if I wanted a women with big boobs I could just google it and satisfy myself. Now that I no longer do that I crave it more in real women, which is great when you look at it in the side of leaning to real women over porn, but I have a girlfriend and she doesn’t fit description of a very sexually attractive person in the sense of big tits and what not (amazing person non the less and very beautiful) but I still can feel myself not desiring her and wanting those other features. Does anyone have any experience or advice on this? Does it just pass overtime?

Thanks for the advice even though I didnt post this love reading the comments and everyone helping each other 💪🏻

👆🏻👆🏻these comments are right. Do you really desire those features or is the pron telling you what to desire? Create some space and distance from porn and lean into the things you’ve described - a good person who’s beautiful may look very different once you’ve got more distance in the rear view. And congrats on 42 days 👊🏻

Porn sets an unhealthy idea of people, most notably women. I’ve found that most of the characteristics that pornstars have just aren’t all that common so your standards will reel in once you’ve been away for a while.

I used to have the same issue long ago, I went porn free for well over a year and relapsed and trying to start over again. Overtime the thoughts of what you see in porn will dissipate and you’ll see the true beauty in your partner.

To add on, I feel like this is just me craving porn content irl
