In my experience most, though by no means all, porn renters fall into one of four major types:

1. Chippers - Chippers by definition aren't regulars. They stop by once to pick up stuff for a party, maybe again six months later when they're a little drunk after a Cubs game. Either they don't watch much porn or they get it off the Internet. Either way, I don't see 'em much.

2. Normal, Healthy Porn Renters - These make up the vast majority of my renters. They come in a little more often than the chippers, but not so much that it seems to be making up a major part of their lives. NHPRs may or may not be married or dating someone - the porn is an occasional supplement to a normal sex life with normal ups and downs.

3. Substituters - These are the guys, both straight and gay, who appear to be renting porn in lieu of having sex with other people. Sometimes it's due to a reclusive or difficult personality, sometimes to, uh, nontraditionally handsome looks. Obviously I can only make an educated guess as to whether someone is an NHPR or a substituter, but sometimes I feel like I'm making a damn good guess. It's usually based on rental frequency, the attitude of the guy returning the tapes (Substituters tend to be the most defensive) and a few other personal cues.

4. Addicts - Yup, addicts. Anyone who routinely spends spends six or more hours a day watching porn. Yes, it's an arbitrary number, but I think I'm being pretty damn reasonable. We're talking about a third of their waking lives here. Sure, there are grey areas and extenuating circumstances. That doesn't mean there aren't also addicts.


This is from that Porn Clerk and I wanted to talk to the addicts and the Substitutes. I tend to think that I'm a substitute because by no stretch of the imagination am I ugly. Im not saying I'm Brad Pitt either. But I watch porn usually 2 to 3 hours a day and never have sex. This constitutes about 3 sessions a day, but I have been like that since I was 18. Also I started watching porn, pretty much on around the same time.

I also used to have sex, but now I don't and I wonder if it is because I just substitute porn. I'm not asking for advice, but I bet there are actually alot of posters that are just like me. I'm not talking about the virgins, but more to the guys that are just straight strokers. I realize that I probably will never stop watching porn, but now wondering if I will ever have sex again. Whats weird is that I could if I just tryed, but I really don't. Their are some other factors but it probably is for a lack of effort.

Or of course it could be that I'm just a helpless pervert that just enjoys stroking too much. I wonder if it is that I just substitute porn for sex or am I addicted or am I both.

Funny thing is that I actually went to a shrienk and he basically told me I was fine. I don't know if I really believe him but he made it seem like no big deal. Although I only went once, so maybe he was wrong. I would just like to hear from the guys that are in my situation or were and their thoughts.

Also don't say get out, because I have a life. It's just a non sexual one. And please don't advise me to stop watching porn because that is unlikely to happen.

Thanks,

Perve

There's also:

5. Collectors - They buy a LOT (of whatever it may be, porn dvds, regular dvds, comics, toys, games, whatever). They buy a lot of stuff, throw it in the pile, then may or may not get around to watching/reading/playing with/otherwise using it days, weeks, months or even years later. Though from a Porn Clerk's POV they may seem to be 2, 3 or 4.

Though they'd be buying, not renting. (unless they're maniacally pirating everything in sight, to sit in their pile of unused loot).

6. Searchers (also known as optimists)
People looking for porn that won't bore them to death performed by people who don't look bored to death themselves.

In that case, I'm a searcher.

EDIT: I was in your shoes a few years ago, I thought that I would never meet another woman again and kept watching porn for nights on end. I wasn't really depressed, everything else in my life went fine, but to be sexless for such a long time (turned out to be 10 months) made me feel miserable sometimes.

Because I couldn't take it anymore I decided to put a real effort in it. I asked my friends for beautiful single women, talked to some girls in the club, but eventually found one through my (one year younger) sister who brought a girlfriend to sleep-over. I had a nice talk with her in the morning and asked her for her number as she seemed to be quite nice (besides her hot appearance). One thing led to another and BAM! My swimmers got to take the big leap again. I was so horny I came 4 times the night I made love to her.

Bottomline is that I'm not just saying 'Get out more!' but that you have to work hard to find a girl - and even harder to have sex with her. Usually ít'll take a long time and you'll receive a lot of rejections, but you'll have to learn to deal with that and try your luck with another girl you find appealing. Don't waste your effort by quitting after one or two disappointments.

I think what Valentino is saying is that "hookin' up", as it is with sales, promotions, etc. is a numbers game. This is where the hard work comes in. It's hard work hitting on (20) women in one night.

But...out of (20) women, (10) may rap with you, (5) may vibe you, and (1) may even let you get lucky that same night.

A few things to be aware of however,

1. If you're at club be weary of the sliding scale that comes with alcohol consumption.

2. If you get numbers or have numbers from previous trips, don't make the "drunk call".

3. If you strike out completely don't wander in to the titty bar or happy ending massage joints. You need to save your money for buying the ladies drinks and/or after hours meals.

EDIT: 4. If a girl sees you hittin' on (19) different women, don't make her number (20).

I'm a mix of 1 and 3. I'm not a handsome man. But I also rarely buy porn.

I think I must be a substituter.

I tend to forget all about porn when I'm in a relationship, but after a long dry spell I start watching it again.

I am a substituter/collector. I will watch my porn DVDs about 4 times a week, each "session" varying between as little as 20 minutes to as long as a couple hours. I love collecting porn DVDs. I'm so "backed up" right now on titles I've bought and haven't watched and my collection has grown so large that now I've reached a point where I don't remember what I've watched and what I haven't, even after watching something (unless it's totally brand new and I *know* I just got it).

I'm definitely addicted but I would say I'm a Substitute,because watching porn only takes about 10-15 minutes for me.

Heh,talk to 20 women?No way,I'd never invest that much into trying to get laid.Sometimes I wonder if I lost my sex drive if things wouldn't be better.

I guess me and my dick will die lonely.On my deathbed,old shrively will look up at me and say"We coulda done it DP..We coulda been contenders..we coulda been IN somebody.......".

I think I fall into this category, I watch about one porn scene a day, which isn't enough to keep up with the manic purchasing...

I think about sex more when I watch porn regularly (which is most of the time, except when on vacation) and I have sex regularly too, although more sex would be nice!
