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.

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.
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.
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.
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)
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
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.
I would probably say about 5 times a week, I also read spicy books as well! I am a big fan of jockstrap rippers and healthy portrayals of man on man action!
like once a week currently but at times have been every day. well maybe not quite every day but like its not quite every week now. Pretty sure a month won't go by without watching something.
To whoever replied and then blocked me - it is a bit lame buddy. I'm only here to have balanced discussions, but you decide to use it for a teensy tiny little ego boost because you "epically dunked on someone and they can't reply back."
All it ultimately says is that you're incapable of advocating for your beliefs here, i.e "porn is good"
If you block someone on Fediverse it only hides the person you blocked on your own account. You'll still see the comments from someone who has blocked you, they just won't see any replies from you. So, idk what you're ranting about, there's no other replies to you except velma even checking the .world instance directly. You're describing reddit's blocking system.

"Watch" is entirely too passive a verb
"Fine, I'll do it myself!" - nymnympsuedonym.
It varies as with anything in life. Sometimes it’s every day, sometimes I’ll go months without.
Seconded!

I recommend Lustery.
I'll have to check it out, thanks
some folks pay extra for that.

So hot! I've really enjoyed the evolution of porn in this way. So many candid, loving couples having fun together!
That's actually so clever! Paid to do what you love, on both fronts
Where are these at?
In Lustery.
Every day.

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.
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.
I prefer audio
Is there a podcast you subscribe to or something?
Try shibby, she has her own site
I've heard Dipsea is pretty good! dipseastories.com

Alright jim haggerty.
This is one of my favorite bits they do
Less often than I fuck.
Exactly my thoughts.
Good answer 👍
Used to watch almost every day, then I started HRT. Now I never watch.
High Resistance Training?
Horny Resistance Training
Got bonked too many times.
Got a job at Hudson River Trading.
Hormonal Replacement Therapy
that's rather interesting. most that I heard of, it was the opposite.
was your therapist surprised?
Somewhere between “every other day” and “every other week”
Same.

Never.
Like a lot of the responses here, I don't like much video porn, it's more funny than sexy.
Written erotica, that can be so hot, but still not often. Mostly when I need it, imagination is the way to go.
I see tits everywhere....
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
I prefer reading
hourly.
I would probably say about 5 times a week, I also read spicy books as well! I am a big fan of jockstrap rippers and healthy portrayals of man on man action!
like once a week currently but at times have been every day. well maybe not quite every day but like its not quite every week now. Pretty sure a month won't go by without watching something.
it's interesting. i might peek into that.
Maybe once per month? Probably less. I really tend to prefer audio and text.
Watching any at all is bad for you mentally and physically
There's plenty of healthy porn out there.
aww someone's fragile sensibilities couldn't take the image of jesus loving himself.
