Less worried about watching but more aware of why I do, and that the why I watch sometimes needs to change
Yea less worried about watching it, have become more aware of why I’m watching it though. Lowkey has taken some of the fun out of watching it though, which I think is a good thing.
Decided to focus on my fantasy on occasions (when wife is away or on her period). Will exercise or do a hobby instead as part of the routine, but will not be giving it up entirely. This will hopefully lesson the desire of the fantasy slowly and focus my mind more on my wife and help with the dysfunction.
Easier said then done so will keep a track of it and not punish myself if it doesn’t work but instead just see what I can do to help make it easier next time.
Quit watching
I haven’t been watching any recently, and have found better things to do.

Felt the urge to watch some today but rather than give in straight away, I noticed that thought and feelings and decided against it as it was only because I was bored.

It will always have a place but I need to be mindful about using it
I used it for cooking and to fill the void. Sometimes I’m horny while other times I seek emotional connection and relief.
I stopped for like almost a month but something changed and now I’m back to default. I need to fill my time
Ever since I got a girlfriend I haven’t watched porn in 3 months. Think I was using it to replace intimacy, I still get urges but they don’t last for long, filling your time really helps
I got into the habit of watching porn most times I had a wank, but have since quit for about a year. I have had a couple of slip ups where I’ve watching it, but it makes me feel better not watching it, so I’ve learned to avoid it. With the access to the audio clips on mojo and as well as experimenting with solo sex toys, I have not needed to watch video porn. Not everyone may be the same, but it has made me feel better about myself and more aroused when I’m with a partner in real life, because I’m seeing something that I normally don’t!

I’m going to keep a log of my feelings and thoughts when I turn to porn to help manage these better rather than use porn as the release

Log is definitely something I would like to try
Log feels really healthy - already realising social media is a trigger for me
I want to avoid porn and save my erections and ehaculations for my partner. I want to separate porn’s visual stimulation from my genital or partner stimulation.
I think journal would be really helpful. Would love to see how this works.
Want to learn to dive in my fantasies instead of porn.
I think now maybe porn isn’t my issue . Maybe it’s a masterbating issue and porn is just a tool. Iv blamed the porn the whole time .
I still think that porn can become a problem. As the saying goes “everything in moderation.” If you limit the amount and content you watch it shouldn’t be an issue, but if you still struggle then cutting it out is probably for the best.
I could see how shifting my mindset about it could one day lead it to no longer cause any issues. But, right now, I am pretty confident that when i watch it my issues get worse and when i take a break they improve, so I’m going to stop completely for the forseeable future.
Watch porn when I am curious about fantasies, not as a means to escape anymore
