    just started having sex with girlfriend

    I am a 23 year old guy and just started having sex with my GF. I have been single for over 8 years and this its my really first true relationship. the sex is good, we both make each other cum and there are no problems. but after a few times now, i don't really feel like sex is the greatest thing ever anymore... don't get me wrong though, I still enjoy sex but when I used to masturbate alot I always thought finally having sex would be so great but I don't think I m enjoying it as much add I fantisized for so long.

    I hate to say it but after masturbating to other people having sex for so long im a bit more turn on by that then even having sex myself, is this normal? will I start to enjoy sex more when I have more of it?

    thanks.

    Sex has been overhyped by the media.
    What you get out of it is controlled by many different factors. Your health- your age- your hormones-your mental health - your feelings for the other.
    Overall these things will ebb and flow like the tide.
    You are at the beach one day the sun is is shining- the tide is in - you are with your loved one and things are fantastic. A few days later the tide may be out - the weather overcast and you are fighting with your lover over something silly.

    Dont get down because you have imagined a perfect day and it has just been overcast. Things will improve as the other factors improve.

      When you masturbate to porn you are getting mostly visual stimulation, with you supplying the physical stimulation. With a real gf you are not limited to one or two senses. I hope you like giving oral and your gf likes getting it because you can stimulate smell, taste and touch with a gf. In addition, you can get visuals that you will never see in a porn flick. Rework your understanding of what good sex is. It is probably best to quit any use of porn cold turkey to accomplish this.
      I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience.
