they are different senses, doesn't really work as an analogy

a super tight fleshlight would probably work better, which can also vibrate

It works just fine. Men tend to be more visually oriented, for women the physical part is often the limiting factor to reach a climax.

In both cases something external is added to get over the other party's "inadequacies".

Dont even need that, plenty of dudes have issues where they prefer porn and masturbation to intimacy with their partner.

i dont have a partner, but i am (trying) to get over a porn/masturbation addiction myself right now...it's...way tougher than it feels like it should be, but then i guess really thinking back it's an addiction i'v had nearly 15+ years now.

so i guess it's no surprise some people have that issue continue while being in relationship

Its a much bigger societal problem than people want to admit. Good on you for admitting its an addiction, being aware of negative consequences is a big part of overcoming something. There are support groups for this stuff and it can help to have people who you can talk to that yoy might be embarrassed to talk to friends and family about.
