I really want to get better

I don’t even feel like I resort to porn because I want to anymore, it’s just something to do and I’m either bored or stressed. Meanwhile my partner is doing their best to tease and be enticing(as best as she can over long distance) and I feel so incredibly guilty that I’ve sunk so low… I want to get better for her but I worry that I’m too far gone now

It’s great that you realise the reasons you’re using porn. Awareness is the first step then the action you want to take to be the person you choose. You might try some alternative like another activity to occupy your mind like exercise, hobby or meditation just something that works for you.
Let the guilt go as we’re all only human and have lapses and let the inner critic go too as he’s not helping but trying to undermine you. You want to get better for her so focus on that and keep going with Mojo and you’ll get there mate.

Your brain is likely using it against depressive symptoms. Not masturbating for 5 days made me wake up with a morning boner again after 6 months and it made me laugh so hard because I thought this idiot was going to the urologist and trying out all kinds of reasons when I could’ve just stopped jerking for a few days, absolutely ridiculous the change. I supported it with rhodiola rosea against depression, for better hormone balance, energy and sleep and safran, ginko, ginseng, maca for similar reasons. I also started lifting up my knee to my chest until they wont move for better psoas stability. Anyways what I wanted to say, dont masturbate for a few days and maybe you wake up so horny that you just have great sex with your partner. Also you’re not too far gone, dont bring yourself down or overcomplicate it.

Not alone dude. End up watching it for same reasons when I can’t get my head straight and should be working. Cold shower/ face splash and a solid soundtrack can help dig me out of it and then it feels great to win against theses addictive demons, you’ll get there, chin up, you got this :muscle:t2:

Don’t give up!
I was kinda same… Got out of a long marriage and was multi daily with porn and solo… Met a wonderful woman and was up front with her about my ED.
Found this app and started in! I realized that I have a bad relationship with porn, a death grip and PED.
I quit 90% porn and solo, Im 30+ days steady into the app, I came up with a kegel routine, and I’m listening to the therapy sessions in the EXPLORE tab here. My GF lives 30 min away (I usually take the subway to spend the night…) She’s also 2 hrs away taking care of her mom aftr surgery and I saw her last Fri night for the first time in weeks- I did notice an improvement. Not like i was 20 again, but firm enough for sex 10-15 min (70% Semi)

I’d recommend looking up the easy peasy method for porn! It’ll change the way you look at the addiction.
