I think it shows there isn’t a one plan fits all approach to consuming porn, so I need try to a lot of different strategies to see how the future will be with it.
Been trying to stop for a long time. Only had any real success over the pat year or so. It honestly all just feels like a slog…
I have a habit of dipping into it when stressed or frustrated but I need to switch that for another outlet/activity.
Porn is intertwined with my wind down after work, but also something I do when I’m bored

I’ll try to do more check ins with myself before watching porn, and really considering why I want to watch in the moment.
Started the 10 day log and then just staying extra extra busy is helping!
I’ll start my 10 day log porn and check-ins tonight. However, I wonder how I’ll keep that in mind in the following days, I don’t want to forget to do it and fall back into it without even trying to make it work. Anyone got any tips to remember doing the log and check-ins?
I’ll start trying to keep a log, but I’m currently using a blocker so hopefully I can keep over a 10 day streak up and build that into a month.
I would like to just give up porn. I feel like it has almost desensitized me to female nudity, gives me unrealistic expectations on what women should look like and how sex is supposed to go. I got write in my journal how I am feeling when I desire to watch porn. And If I am feeling the need to watch it, I should focus that energy and horniness toward my girlfriend.

I’m going to do the porn log and see what my motivations truly are. I feel like it’s actually hurting me and contributing to my ed because I’m becoming too dependent on the imagery and I want to have that with my partner instead!

I’ve never felt good about it but never succeeded in quitting. Here’s to another try.
I’m with you. I want to direct my sexual desire towards my wife rather than porn. It’s tough to open up to her, but I have to try. Good luck brother.

The log is a really interesting idea…makes me think twice about even wanting to look at it
Gonna try and substitute with audio or written erotica
The porn log is a good idea to identify what triggers it for me
Porn log sounds good
I will try to keep a log and spend time with my partner even if I don’t get hard
I don’t think I can have a relationship with porn that is healthy, so I’m giving it up. I’ve done it before, so can do it again.
I think a porn log is a great idea. I’m not sure yet if I need to cut back or give it up entirely but I’m going to try some new things, experiment, and keep an open mind
I also think the porn log is a great idea. Not only when I’m watching it but also to understand the wants pulling me towards it. This I think I’ll start today
