Have you made any decisions to change your porn habits?

Porn helps me to get hard, stay hard and come. Without it, I’m this is extremely difficult. Especially staying hard.
I believe more studies need to be done. It used to be that you could flick your attention span through long scenes and individual pics but now with microvideo sites like redgifs your brain gets different stimulus each second and you can skip to the next.
I still believe that porn plays a major part in my problems but I can’t seem to shake it off.

I’ve been successful getting hard during breaks from porn. I know not watching it is positive for me but I always come back. Being more conscious about it will help me figure out when I actually want to watch it and when it’s just helping me cope with a different feeling.

I don’t look at my current watching habits as addiction, but I definitely want to get to a point of very rarely watching it. I have noticed that seen from Born and doing kegel exercises has improved my erections.

I cut porn out completely about 2 months ago. The benefits are that I feel better about myself, my self esteem is higher. I’ve noticed my dick is more responsive to girls in general. Just talking to girls will sometimes give me an erection. So with these benefits I’m going to continue not ever watching porn again.

I have cut out porn. I still watch here and there sometimes but it was widely dropped. Will keep on continuing

I like that this app encourages a healthy relationship with porn rather than fully demonizing it. I also was surprised what the science suggests and how that contradicts online narratives

I am really going to think about my porn use when I feel the urge to watch it. I know my triggers and hopefully that can help me make more mindful and better decisions.

I watched porn and went extreme i doubted my self and went extra mile after divorce . And went to the wrong side. At later i found it as a coping mechanism to not feel bored stressed sad or feel anything . I will really think bout a porn use once or not . I feel alittle is enough to put all .the hard work. After all porn is just thoughts not real

I do really like the idea about being more mindful with porn. Why do I want to watch it. If I have urges, what am I feeling at that moment? It’s interesting to think maybe porn isn’t the sole reason for my issues and it could be a lot to do with my relationship to my own sexuality.

Think about what I need and whether what I am going to do is going to make.me feel bad after

I do believe porn has effected my arousal. Intimacy fears coupled with only using porn does seen to affected my libido and erections. I’m still not sold that porn is not the problem.

I’m part way through the process.

I’ve certainly identified my triggers and don’t use porn anywhere near as much.

The thing I’m trying to get my head around is that I can’t remember what it feels like to be horny. I’ve used porn to escape reality whenever I hit an unwelcome emotion that there aren’t any real moments where I want or need anything sexual.

When I thought about it, no actual reason for watching porn over the years apart from boredom/routine. I can use my time better. Not watching it has immediately improved sex life.

I realize that in situations where I feel bad afterwards because I’m doing it for the wrong reasons or at the wrong time then I need to do something else instead.

I feel porn is addictive because it shows me taboo subjects that I know in real life I wouldn’t be interested in

I think I use porn to destress too much when I should be addressing the things in life making me stressed

I want to set rules for when and and how long I can watch porn for.

I have a better understanding of what porn does to you, and I’d like to make changes to remove it as it is not making me feel good or having any positive impacts in my life.

I’ve realised porn isn’t inherently bad but I’ve decided to stop watching it as I could only get hard to porn. I realised that I used to relieve my sexual tension to avoid meeting a real partner out of fear and previous bad experiences, and I’ve become attached to the safety of it.
