How do you feel now that you’ve completed your porn activities?

I have reduced the amount I watch. I also try to masturbate without using porn now.

Right now I don’t watch porn much at all, but always did feel some stigma with it. If anything these modules have helped me to look at porn in a new light, and I’m actually more interested in exploring it more

Helped me see that porn can be informative about sexual issues but is no substitute for the real thing.

I don’t know where to look for “responsible” porn

I’ve stopped watching porn but do realise i can listen to more extreme audio stories. I will work on different stress / boredom release tools. Porn made me feel too comfortable with associating alone time with sex i think, i need to normalise sex association with a person instead.

I used to watch porn to get off but now I usually leave it to the imagination to get myself hard.

I don’t think porn was ever a big issue for me but i hope that I’ll be more aware of not watching it just out of boredom or anything like that

I don’t believe porn has been a big contributor to my ED, nor do I believe it has caused significant issues otherwise in my life. That being said, I could see it as a minor contributor by reinforcing use of visual turn ons at expense of others.

I don’t really watch porn, but alot of good interesting info, didn’t really help me at all.

I’m glad to hear it is something that can be healthily added into other self-care routines

Finding a good balance

Porn is okay in moderation and don’t make it a habit.

I feel good - I’ll start my log today

I started my log and I really want to create a healthier relationship with porn!!

I stopped watching porn last year, thinking it was the reason I was having sex anxiety. This course didn’t help me much but it did reduce the way I was blaming porn for my sex issues. I liked the idea of understanding when and why porn is used

Good, I can now use my pork triggers to do something more positive like work out, meditate, and when I actually want to treat myself to porn I can use it to widen my sexual desires and interests guilt free

Knowing triggers is huge

This takes a lot of the stigma out of watching porn, which takes me out of a panicked response mindset about it so I can practice healthier habits proactively & at ease

Great

For me it’s understanding why. Sometimes its going to be ok, but other times I need to be aware at what gap it’s filling.
