Like a lot of the responses here, I don't like much video porn, it's more funny than sexy.
Written erotica, that can be so hot, but still not often. Mostly when I need it, imagination is the way to go.

"Watch" is entirely too passive a verb
"Fine, I'll do it myself!" - nymnympsuedonym.
Somewhere between “every other day” and “every other week”
Same.
It's probably been years. I prefer to read my porn. My brain just can't get around the fact that so much porn is non consensual, there's a lot of human trafficking, and even the ones who do consent aren't usually being paid well. And there's not a very good way to sus out the more ethical to the less ethical porn. Also the second someone starts obviously faking things, it ruins everything for me so, reading it is just significantly easier for me.

It varies as with anything in life. Sometimes it’s every day, sometimes I’ll go months without.
Seconded!
Occasionally. It's frustrating that most free porn sites are kind of bad at search and filter. You'd think a tagging system would be easy to implement but most sites seem to just have a barely functional search.
Not at all mainly read erotica instead.
Any suggestions other than Literotica
I would poke around "romantasy" style fiction books. There's a lot of erotica in there and a pretty large fan base.
Every day.
I see tits everywhere....
I prefer audio
Is there a podcast you subscribe to or something?
Try shibby, she has her own site
Shibby is good as another commenter mentioned. If you don't mind visiting Reddit there's an erotic audio sub there that is unfortunately quite good and I don't really know a better source.
I've heard Dipsea is pretty good! dipseastories.com
Never.
What are you, southern Baptist?
Heh, no 😂 I just don't like it. Erotica art without sex is max that I like in this regard.
It depends on my mental health. During certain periods, it's every day. Other periods, nothing for a month or so. The worse my mental condition, the more I watch. Not that I pretend to know what the "real" or "correct" way to watch porn is, but I only ever use it as a coping mechanism. It helps me escape reality for a few minutes. Recently, I have begun trying to limit my consumption, because I don't really want to escape reality. As of today, I haven't watched anything for about two weeks.
Same. If I'm at home trying to sleep I will genuinely have a panic attack without it. It's the only thing that strongly occupies my attention enough to prevent a panic attack from setting in (that I can do while in bed)
Anything else is not personally engaging enough to prevent my mind from wandering (like listening to music, browsing Lemmy, or reading)
Alright jim haggerty.
This is one of my favorite bits they do
Used to watch almost every day, then I started HRT. Now I never watch.
High Resistance Training?
Horny Resistance Training
Got bonked too many times.
Hormonal Replacement Therapy
Got a job at Hudson River Trading.
that's rather interesting. most that I heard of, it was the opposite.
was your therapist surprised?
Less often than I fuck.
Exactly my thoughts.
Maybe once per month? Probably less. I really tend to prefer audio and text.
Most relevant line,
"When correctly viewed, everything is lewd...
"I can tell you things about Peter Pan, and the Wizard of Oz is a dirty old man.
I think I've conditioned myself to the point where it's it's pretty rare I go a day without watching at least one thing. Doesn't mean I always DO anything while watching, but that's an answer for another question.
Never.
hourly.
Just watch? Everyday someone will send me a porn for sure somewhere, or it could be that I search for it. But surely at least one a day
Someone sends you a porn every day? What kind of friend group or polycule do you have going on?
goon platoon
Not gonna lie...I fuckin love that as a group name
I prefer reading
