cut myself a bit of slack and cold turkey usually doesn’t work immediately
I’m going to deduct porn by once or twice a day to once a week before bed. Or less.
I will look into ethical porn and stories / audio books
Ethical porn is sick. Bellisima is one site (I think thats what its called) and its badass. Its porn that feels wholesome. You can tell the actors genuinely like each other and consent to sleep with each other. It makes the whole experience more enjoyable.
Mainly need to stop using it as easy pleasure
Just make sure it doesn’t consume potentially useful time
Gradually reducing exposure to it
It’s interesting to stop and think why you want to watch porn in any given time. It makes you be concious about your feelings and motivations.
Going to continue to reduce my usage of porn
Going to reduce over time and try to better understand the motivation
Going to gradually reduce my time with porn. If I get triggered I’ll ask myself why am I doing this.
I find it hard to believe that most scientists don’t believe porn is addictive. I feel like it definitely is if you don’t have other, better options.

The problem is nobody shows you how to “consume” porn, and that’s where I feel the gap is
Important to understand the reasons, porn makes you feel good and so breaking that or substituting that for something else is critical
I honestly want to keep it in my life, for use when I’m with a woman. Watching porn with a woman can be an intense erotic experience. But I do want to cut it out of my habit, and I want to have a better and more active sex life.
I haven’t watched porn in a while and I don’t plan on doing it. I understand it isn’t “bad” for you but it was an outlet for me to stay away from uncomfortable experiences, I will be staying away from it
Try move away from visual porn
I’ve noticed that I use porn as a release when I’m stressed. Whilst it’s not necessarily bad I want to change my outset when I get these feelings and choose something else to do, like meditation
I think moving away from visual porn would be great idea to help build mental focus. Also I think instead of masterbating I should ask myself if I really want to right now or is there something better I could do?
I’ve stop watching porn entirely I either do phone sex with someone im talking to or get sum sex or focus on other things
The porn log is holding me accountable. I will now start with setting restrictions to control it better.
