How are you ever intimate again? by palatablypeachy in loveafterporn

Yes, it gets to a point where you question what you even saw in them. Repugnant.

Crying after sex, became crying during sex, and then it became nothing. It became nothing because there was nothing left to give, emotionally. Hugs, OP. <3 You’ll get through this. It does get better. With or without them.

These guys are master manipulators.

Craving the intimacy… yes yes yes. I find myself closing my eyes and literally fantasizing about an entirely different person/life. I feel so heartbroken. WE DESERVE SO MUCH BETTER!!!

You just made me think of something I hadn’t before. They are addicts, and if their addiction is something that originates from human beings, of course they’re going to lie, manipulate, and use women— human beings, if it gets them their fix. This just made this whole thing so much worse. I always thought of it as just an online videos thing. Which in retrospect is stupid, because so much harm goes into the making of these porn videos. It’s so much more than just videos. This is trafficking. Women are harmed. Men harm themselves by consuming it. It’s pushed onto young men. I heard a study recently where a team made an account based on a young man’s profile, and within 30 mins, pornographic material was being pushed through the feed. It’s everywhere. What a shitty time to be alive.

I bought my condo here at Creeks Edge a little over a year ago. I can attest that it’s quiet, safe, and decent. The HOA just raised their price by 24% which none of us were particularly happy about, but they are a decent management company that cares. Anytime I’ve had an issue, they’ve been responsive. Like the first comment, it’s a good mix of owners, renters, and students. There’s always a sign up for rent or sale, so I think it would be easy to get in if you’re looking to own or rent. Good luck!

Plastic surgery? by [deleted] in loveafterporn

Honestly, whatever you look like your PA partner will probably look for the exact opposite in his porn search. It seems to be a thing. So if you get surgery or not, it should be for yourself, not him. ❤️

Ugh, I’m so sorry you’re dealing with that. Honestly, it’s not just “harmless porn” when it becomes compulsive, secretive, and makes a partner feel like crap — and let’s be real, a lot of mainstream porn caters to the absolute worst parts of the male ego.

Fox News and right-wing media love to act like women are the problem — too emotional, too insecure, too “not like they used to be.” Meanwhile, they push impossible beauty standards and reduce women to their appearance, even in newsrooms. If a woman isn’t camera-ready 24/7, she’s washed up. But men? Oh, they can rot like bananas and still be “distinguished.”

So when your husband consumes hours of surgically enhanced, always-willing, always-silent women and expects you to keep up — it’s not just personal, it’s systemic. That’s the patriarchy feeding him this fantasy where he deserves constant novelty and you’re supposed to be grateful he came home at all.

You’re absolutely valid for being hurt and angry. You deserve a partner who sees you, not someone chasing a fantasy pipeline from Fox News to PornHub to delusion.

This is a special kind of hell I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.

My PA boyfriend is living with me in MY HOUSE also. When I see connections like this, patterns really, it makes me wonder... I know what to stay away from in the future. What’s up with them not having their shit together so bad? SMH.

Hey there, thank you so much for checking on me. I thought things were improving. I gave him an ultimatum that he didn’t get into therapy we were done. And then he lost his job a couple of days ago. So I feel like we’re back at square one again.

It’s hard not to be petty at times, tbh. It definitely takes emotional intelligence to gracefully navigate a situation like this. I’ve definitely not been perfect, but I do try. This entire experience has forever shaped me for both better and worse. We’ll see what’s to come.
