What does it do for you and how does it affect your relationship?
(I am trying to understand it in contrast to male use)

I dont watch traditional porn, I find it extremely underwhelming. But I do consume explicit content usually via novels or games.
And…its just a horny fantasy for a little bit I guess. I dont get more or less out of it than I do any other kind of media I consume (like non-erotic books or movies) – I just pick what type of entertainment I’m in the mood for.
I wouldn’t consider myself an addict or anything. But sometimes I feel guilty especially if I’m in a relationship. Not because of seeing it, but because I’m wasting the energy I could use in the real thing.
But I have phases where I just feel disconnected from real sex, because with porn you kinda just get what you like – whatever specific kink, or whatever you want people to do to you/or to see. It’s not that easy in real life, no matter how open-minded your partner is.
My experience with porn is different from what men relate to me. Because I’m not exactly looking for a visual experience, but a psychological one. So yeah, it’s tricky. Porn fucks your brain.
Stops my libido convincing me that some guy on an app is probably really nice and just wants a coffee date at 10pm.
This question is inspired from another post and switches the traditional question about male porn addiction out with a female porn use.
Note: Addiction come in many forms, some worse than others. If it’s a problem in your life you should try to learn how to control it.
I know what porn does for me on a brain chemical level; how it feels sparkling and energizing and makes me feel connected to my body. It’s ME time and different from intemacy with my girlfriend through 12 years. I also know when I have to take a break when it gets too much.
I am just trying to understand it from the female perspective; what good does it do for you and how (if) does it affect you or relationship?
It’s really bad because it’s became addiction
As a single person, here’s my two cents.
Orgasms keeps me relaxed, I don’t always need porn for that. There are times where it’s everyday but also times where I don’t for a month or two, but watching porn for me is rarer than that. Porn used to be very frequent for me tho as a teen. I’m in mid 20s now.
I’ve never felt the need to abstain as I don’t really think it affected my perception of men or sex or anything. It’s just stress relief I think nothing of it mostly.
I can’t do traditional porn tho it’s too impersonal, comical, it’s always big dicks and small women and I feel like I’m not the target audience for it. In case you’re wondering, porn never really set false expectations for me, even when I was a virgin, since the fake stuff was fairly obvious, I mean dicks aren’t all that big (not that I wanted big ones anyway), and sex isn’t 1-2 hours long.
For context I don’t watch porn as much as I read it or listen to it. I crave passion and tension buildup in real life someday, than actual physical attributes. Credit that to the eroticas if anything, not video porn I would say.
You know what since the porn ban in the UK I haven’t watched a single video, I used to automatically reach for it every time! Now I just use a spicy AI chat website hahaha.
makes me orgasm.
doesn’t really effect my relationship in that i’m not comparing my partner to porn.
I don’t watch porn cause I think it exploits women. I do read hentai doujinshi, though. I don’t think it affects much of anything. I guess in an ex relationship my ex once walked in on me and then asked if he could help out whilst I continue reading the doujinshi … which was nice. But other than that? It’s just a quick release rlly. I don’t always look at smth to get off tho, I don’t need doujinshi or pornographic stuff to get off. I think usage of pornographic stuff just sometimes gets u there faster if u don’t wanna spend a lot of time on it. It’s relaxing and releases tension and stress.
Puts me to sleep.

I don’t watch it regularly, but I like when I see it and I identify with the actress who is adored
