Porn involves mostly the sense of sight and to some degree sound. You can also redevelop your senses of taste, touch, smell and hearing that you tend to shutout when you watch porn. When making love to a real person, all of the senses come into play and generate sexual arousal.

One client I worked with had similar issues, he had an abusive childhood and was neglected in his family. A couple of years after he had finished therapy he called me and told me he was in a new relationship that was very satisfying and much deeper than he had ever had before. He said he could not have handled the emotionally intimacy in the relationship without the work he and I had done together.
