Intimacy and porn, is it time for a virtual update?
Almost everyone has watched and enjoyed porn at some stage in their life. For some, porn is an erotic escape, a reprieve from the daily pressures of life and in short, a low cost thrill at no ones expense. Or is it?
Studies show that porn use is on the rise. One in five internet searches from a mobile device are related to porn and more than 40 million adults in the U.S admit to watching porn on a frequent basis. 20% of men even admit to watching porn at work (someone's expense?).
You might think that watching porn is a bit of innocent fun, but studies are showing that men and young teenagers in particular, are becoming addicted to porn and the consequence of this is less intimacy, less arousal with a real partner, and men often find it harder to gain or maintain an erection at all.
Women also find sex less satisfying with partners that watch a lot of porn because men behave more aggressively and are less connected to the experience. More than this, men have unrealistic expectations regarding pleasing women and what that really involves. To put it bluntly men feel discouraged when their partners are not screaming to high heaven the moment they touch them and give up far too easily. Porn also conditions viewers to want to finish as quickly as possible and this spills over, quite literally, into the bedroom.
In other words, porn addiction kills intimacy. It kills confidence, and it creates a vicious hand-cycle that can lead to anxiety and depression. And, once you introduce these qualities into your real world relationships, you can be sure that eventually, it will kill that too.
Still think free porn is a cheap thrill? Of course not.
Like anything in life, the key is balance. This doesn’t mean watching porn on both your feet, but having a degree of discipline and no, that’s not a reference to BDSM here, if these keywords are taking your mind there, then this article is definitely made for you. Discipline means exercising some control over how often you watch porn AND being more selective over the type of porn you choose to watch.
Can you watch porn and increase confidence, arousal and intimacy?
Actually, yes. Firstly, if you are in a relationship, watching porn together can bring you closer together, but it may be worth letting your girlfriend or wife choose their favourite snips, so you get an idea of what a good sexual experience looks like from their perspective. You might be surprised when you see how different it is to yours.
What about your alone time? We know your woman’s choice of porn is unlikely to get you off, when you’re alone - she is the magical ingredient when you’re watching her favourite clips, BUT, you can still watch your favourite kind of pornography with Badoink VR Porn and increase your confidence, improve your arousal both on-screen and off-screen, and most importantly increase your sense of intimacy.
Virtual reality porn has been proven to make users feel immersed into their digital experience. It makes users feel as though they are the person in the movie, which kind of tricks the brain into thinking it’s really happening. You feel as though the actress is genuinely flirting with you and this makes you feel more desirable. The outcome: less need for imagination and the “realness” of it means that there isn’t a difference in perceptual expectation when you enter the bedroom.
In simple terms, it means the quality of the experience spills over into the bedroom just as regular porn does, but virtual reality porn does it for the better, not the worst as is the case with regular porn.
So, there’s no trade-off, you get better quality porn with virtual reality AND a better sex life outside of the bedroom. What more can you ask for? Well, actually, both at the same time, and if she is the kinda girl to let you get your rocks off with a virtual reality headset as she pleases you, then you know she is a keeper.
Did we mention that you can turn your girlfriend into your favourite porn star, so it tracks her every move, touch and stroke? Better not tell her, just in case.
Is there a catch?
Well, actually there is, but it’s well worth it. Virtual reality porn is a niche and like any quality website they will charge for a subscription, but it won’t empty your bank account, though we can’t say the same about your balls. One thing is for sure, you won’t spend half as much time searching for “the good stuff” and that’s half your porn addiction dealt with.
