Will be logging and have also felt more reassured that porn addiction isn’t a biological thing but I need to be more aware about how I’m feeling when I want to watch it and diversify my resources

Start alternative things like erotic stories to help the imagination which porn damages

I’ll try using the porn log, and also talking about when I’m feeling horny and curious to explore sex.

I’ve become aware through this sort of journalling and reflection that it’s hard for me to talk about my needs. Sex is a need, and if I’m not talking to my partner about this need, I’m looking to fulfill it myself.

Will be logging my habits for the next 10 days at least, but already feeling good that I haven’t formed unhealthy habits. I’m curious if the erotic stories could feed my imagination and become a regular part of my activity or even replace some of the visual porn.

51

I have started journaling about when I feel like looking at porn, why I feel that way, and what can/should do with those feelings. In moderation, porn can be healthy, but with any addiction, you will have to pay attention to what is going on around you and inside you. Try and establish clear boundaries and guidelines for when to and not to use porn. It has helped me with myself and hopefully soon my partner will benefit too.

I will try the porn log. Not sure what it achieves

53

I think adhd makes my impulse control towards porn harder

54

I feel better about it, less guilty thank before. It’s made me realize that a lot of the online discourse around porn is misleading at best. The porn log is interesting. It makes me more mindful of why I seek it out and when.

55

I don’t feel as guilty as before.

56

Use more audio, and less dodgy sites that get me thinking about stuff that I’m not actually into and feel guilty about watching (trans, bdsm)

57

I’ve come to the conclusion that porn isn’t necessarily bad for you. It really depends on what your triggers are to watch it and what role it plays in your life.

58

Partaking of the porn log sounds fun.

But in all seriousness, I feel less shame/guilt around it now and have actually started watching porn again after going cold turkey. I no longer view my relationship with it quite so negatively.

59

I feel better and will watch more ethical porn.
Keeping a porn journal is a good idea.

I have decided to try more mindfulness masturbation and I will keep a porn log
