I [F22] have porn/masturbation addiction. It’s ruining my sex life and relationship /u/unusual_thoughtss Sex

The tiltle says it all. I’m a 22 year old woman, and I came across porn when I was very young. It was fairly interesting to me back then, and by the time I figured it could potentially be damaging, it was too late. Now it’s actually doing some damage. I am in a relationship with a very great guy. He is the most considerate and understanding person ever. I love him dearly, but I can barely have sex with him. Most of the times I’d just rather watch porn and masturbate instead of having sex. it’s easier and more comfortable.

I feel like me watching porn on a regular basis is damaging the relationship, not only the intimacy but how I view us as a couple as well. Porn promotes behaviors that are not normal and are not right, but because I’ve been watching it for so long, they are becoming a part of me. I keep thinking about how others perform better or compare my boyfriend with other men and stuff like that.

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to deal with this? I don’t want to watch porn but no matter what I do, porn and masturbation are always a big part of my day.

Please give me any tips, suggestions, or recommendations you might have.

This relationship means a lot to me, and I don’t want to ruin it.

I have to mention that my bf lives a few hours away temporarily.
