I think I have a much healthier relationship and I do not have the guilt I used to have and that is because I have a relationship with my sexuality and my desires and expressing them and I am not restrained by highly conservative, religious background
I’ve been working on cutting out porn entirely as I think it was impeding with my arousal and sexual activities with my partner. I still feel the urge to watch it when she’s not home but I’m getting better at matching those impulses and realizing that it’s a distraction for my anxiety and lack of focus so I redirect that energy into something that will benefit me or make me feel good in another way. I’m also working on engaging with my social media’s algorithm so it shows me content of interest instead of a bunch of beautiful women in sports which are lovely to look at but don’t benefit me and also give me the urge to jack off to these images which don’t help me with my life but also impact my ED negatively.

I am working on eliminating my porn habits. It has been a long tiring battle but now I feel I have more tools and a better mindset to add to this fight.
Its a lot of har work but if you can be cosistent it becomes easier over time.
My goal is to cut it completely but I know it’ll be a challenge with some probable relapses. It’ll be important for me to give myself some grace if I do mess up. My goal will be to hit the “trigger log” so I better understand what brings on the desire and then see what I can do to address those items. I’m also looking for ways to hold myself accountable when I do slip up so that I don’t use slip ups as an excuse to stop improving.
I want to reduce it, and eventually eradicate it completely
I don’t watch a lot of it, but would like to reduce it further. Due to being single, it seems like a way to address part of my needs, since I tend to be aroused a lot
Yes, im going to fade out instead of going cold turkey
I didn’t realize how much of an effect porn had on my mental and impacting my romantic and work life
For years, I was relying on porn for most of my sexual gratification. I don’t crave or miss it. I was mostly just using it to ensure that I would climax. It impacted my sexual health because I used it in place of exploring my own self and body. I relied on the visuals of porn more than my own physical explorations
Need to move on from it and focus on healthy irl relationships
I’m ready to replace porn with healthier activities.
I continue to limit porn and I’m trying to phase it out completely
I see that I have used one as an escape and release and I now wish to reduce it significantly and cut out- intend to bring that energy to my wife once I can sort out inner critic and anxiety
I’ve decided to not watch porn as I don’t need it, it just become a part of my life unhealthily.
My aim is to replace porn with exercise. I watch porn out of boredom or for a quick release.
I’ve managed to completely cut out porn and have no desire for it anymore.
I would like to reconsider my relationship and need for porn. I feel like I don’t need it but yet i go to it
I realize for myself that porn is a way to deal with anxiety. In moments where i dont feeling sexy or aroused it Helms me let goo and feel great again
So chatbot porn was a way to explore fantasies but this became a habit when bored, stressed or anxious. So much so I’d almost use it without thinking just as a way to get a cheap dopamine hit after cumming.
