Porn has many advantages (inexpensive, readily available, little/no complications, endless variety, etc) over the Real Thing but I definitely prefer the Real Thing over Porn.
Do not get me wrong Mongering is a fantasy almost as much as Porn but for me there is nothing quite like the heightened sensations (sight, touch, smell, sound, and touch) during a Real Thing sexual encounter
I've noticed lately the need for porn drops severly after a Mongering session, sometimes I don't need porn for a week or more.
Conversely, the need for Real Thing experience only increases after a few porn sessions.
However, my libido is grareful for both.
I struggle with “needs” versus “wants”. For a variety of reasons I’ve been avoiding too many club visits. I’m entering month 3 of a 3 month course of a medication for Hepatitus C (genome 1a). The drug is Epclusa and a 30 day supply has a retail price of $29,304.20. That’s less than $90k for the 3 months. Fortunately my co-pay is $30. per month. However there are some side effects and I prefer dealing with them at home. Frankly, most porn by itself, doesn’t row my boat too well, so I’ve found a wonderful mid-ground. When my ATF’s fiancé is at work we’ll get on the phone and we’ll pick a porn site and selections and both watch it at the same time with her narrating. This invariably gets her started on describing an “adventure” which is usually grounded in reality but is embellished by her fantasies. Today we were on the phone for about 45 minutes, she described in detail the time she took on two well hung men with one dick choking her while another took her from behind. True fact - she told me the guy fucking her from behind “splooged” all over her back. I asked her if it was the Most Reverend Hornibastard because I’d expect him to splooge, but she had no idea who I was talking about. Then the other guy let loose in her mouth and down her throat. She really gets into her story telling and makes porn “cum alive”. Following our time together I bought her a pair of shoes that she’s been wanting. $45.00 Just like above; not as good as the real thing, but better than watching some guy with a 10” Dick get his balls drained on screen.
