    Sorry to step on anyone's toes here but I think we all have a tendency to project our own situations and experiences on other people. From what she said, all we really know is that the OP (who isn't posting anymore lol) has a fiancee who stopped having regular sex with her rather suddenly and started watching porn. I don't think we can jump to the conclusion that he has a porn addiction. There are any number of things that could be responsible ...low self esteem, performance anxiety, insecurity, etc. Maybe somehow he got it in his head that he's inferior and he's not doing it right. Who knows? Sometimes men put a lot of pressure on themselves to 'perform' like some kind of superhero, and the slightest thing (premature ejaculation, unexpected erectile disfunction) can throw their circuits off.

    OP says he doesn't masturbate to porn - maybe that's true and he has a physiological issue. Just saying it could be anything.

    Megan, I don't know to suggest anything other than communication or maybe counseling if it doesn't resolve, but I think there's good news - if he found you hot enough for the sex to be superhot before, it's unlikely he suddenly stopped finding you hot. I assume you didn't suddenly turn un-hot overnight. If that's the case, then whatever it is, it's not your fault. Or more specifically, it's not that you're lacking in hotness.

    Hotness is many things, not the least of which is confidence. Embrace being a hottie (be it and believe it) and he might fall back in with a little encouragement. Hopefully he already has and the reason you haven't replied is that you can't make it out of the bedroom.

    Agreed, I wanted to go in and remove the one word "definitely" (but missed the five minute mark) as I am projecting my addiction onto the OP's fiancé. All of the signs are there though and given the personal experience and knowledge of what the addiction can do to a person, myself included, felt I should at least post my experience.
