Every time.
Never have been very into porn as a whole as an adult, and after the internet kinda killed porn that isn’t gonzo or fake amateur, it has become a turn off more often than not.
So, if I’m going to handle business, I prefer to rely on memory or imagination. It’s more satisfying.
I’m not saying I never look at porn, but it isn’t about being aroused and masturbating, it’s about running across something curious and wanting to see if the click bait title matches the actual clip. It rarely does.
I do have some old porn on vhs and dvd though. Dunno why I keep it other than not wanting to just have things in a landfill when they’re functional. Most of it came as freebies when ordering more useful things from adam & eve back in the day. I even have this one gay porn tape my best friend left behind when he moved out to marry his husband and such. It’s basically a Pygmalion as porn thing. Kinda cool visuals, if you ignore the buttsex.
I think I even have one of those girls gone wild DVDs that my nephew got when he lived with us as a teenager. Again, he moved out and didn’t take all of his porn stash lol.
I don’t have a problem with porn, if that isn’t obvious, I just don’t get anything out of it usually, and find it empty for self pleasure.
I think the last actual porn I watched was last year, towards the end of summer. That was just a clip on lemmy. Now, I see plenty of nudes and still images scrolling the all feed on lemmy, until I block the C/, but there’s always a new C/ popping up just isn’t fap material for me.
My own imagination 1,to something 99
About half and half. If I’m masturbating to something, it’s usually amateur work because porn has been really meh for a while now.
For me half and half. Sometimes I’m just playing with myself, especially if I’m in a really sensitive mood. Often I just edge when I do it like that and not come and then the next day I’m really sensitive 🥰
But sometimes I’m in a more porny mood and then I watch porn, especially VR. I love the vids from VREdging. They’re usually pretty gentle, slow, lots of eye contact and s bit ASMRey in terms of sound.
98% of the time imagination for me. Probably 2% actively “to” something but maybe 10% of the time in response to something I saw or read. Just never really while watching porn or anything like that.
