What other options of escape have others found? Porn seems like an interesting scape to me but then it comes back and hurts my sexual drive. The problem is - it is exciting to watch and explore.
What other things have you found or done that aren’t porn but work as an escape hatch? Obviously sex is an option. When your partner isn’t around, what’s another substitute?

I’ve tried several other things, but what I l’ve found that works best for me is working out, and journaling. In the past when I would try to supplement other things for porn, it would always lead me right back to using porn again, because I’m highly visual.
- Erotic audio - just makes me want to see it. - Reading about it - just want to see it - pics and vids of my partner - makes me want to see it
For me, I realized me wanting to see it was due to the internals I haven’t worked on mentally. Recognizing the “why I feel this” behind the “what I feel” revealed I wasn’t necessarily horny all the time, but angry, anxious, lonely, and bored.
Might not be the answer you’re looking for, but I hope this helps.

Being a man with all the feelings sucks. It would be easier to not feel and not think! I definitely have things to work out
