Has access to real live play partners diminished your interest in porn?

Has access to real, live play partners deminished your interest in porn? It has for me.

Maybe with porn, desire is like any other, ups and downs. Before group sex I watched a lot of porn. During our swing period, I watched a lot of porn. After our swinging ended, I watched a lot of porn. The past year though, when I watch more than about 3 minutes, my body says 'go take a nap'. Very odd, but I get a lot of rest.

I would say no. I frequently watch porn now to “get me going” before we go to a couples club or out for a possible MFM, we call it F+F, flirt and flaunt. Guess we should add another F to it. Also, at a point I go more interested in watching DP porn to gain a more full understanding of it all. Ok, I agree, not necessarily the best approach for research but certainly encouraging.

Probably the opposite. I don't use porn as a substitute for the real thing (and barely ever did that anyway) but porn as an exciting part of swinging works really well for me! So the more swinging experiences and relationships I have, the more porn I watch (both during and in between the encounters).

Diminished our interest in porn...absolutely not. Change our preference from DVD's and mp4's to live, in person porn...Absolutely! If live isn't available then DVD's and mp4's are just fine.

Bumping this back up given our current pandemic circumstances...

 

So assuming you are swinging less now due to the COVID pandemic, has your interest in porn increased?  Swinger porn especially?

Honestly, my interest in porn, sex and swinging is diminished. I think this whole virus contagion thing has diminished my interest in intimate contact. 

[Anon321 521]

Yes it has.  I watch porn much less now than before.

Looking forward to the real thing at our club, porn and webcams don't pack it.

My use of porn was primarily when I was younger, looking to learn.  For instance, after my first vaginal and anal experiences, I was curious how it actually looked up close.  What I found for that and just about everything else was so fake and poorly acted, it was humorous.  Women don't want semen shot all over the outside of their body, especially their face, and it certainly doesn't make us spontaneously orgasm.

 

The videos that are real are the "amateur" ones, but they are mostly old fat people shot in situations with poor lighting on what must be old camcorders.  After doing it several times, I got bold and comfortable enough to ask that we do it in front of the mirror so I could see what I wanted.  That was much better and more exciting, and in a way made us/me look more impressive than any porn I had watched.

 

Now if I want to watch anything all I have to do is ask the others in the family; they oblige and it's much better because it has the twinge of jealousy to go with it.  Porn is much better live with people who you love.

Yes, as far as mirrors.  I was amazed how powerfully arousing having sex in front of a full length mirror was and is.  The opportunity to see views that drive me wild in erotic photography and porn by adjusting the position of the mirror is powerful. 

 

In addition,  we found just setting-up a video camera that points toward the area of play (the bed, dining table, etc.) and going about having sex as though the camera was not there worked very well.  At a subconscious level it seemed to bring out the exhibitionist and performer in each of us.  Going through the video afterward together and finding the sections that were gems was arousing too.
