Used to watch it a lot. I kind of felt that it was stopping me wanting to approach women bc why bother I have porn at home much cheaper and easier. Easy escape route that eventually developed into a bit of social anxiety. That’s why I quit

not to waste time with porn to keep me from doing things I will feel good about accomplishing

31

I use porn as a distraction, to try to feel good when things are going well for me in other parts of my life. I have somewhat of a phone addition, preventing me from doing my job well, and it just creates a cascading series of events to happen.
I need to stop randomly browsing shit on my phone. I need to stop using porn to masturbate, because I know that I can’t do just a little bit. I’m addicted to my phone, and porn is a part of that.

A while ago I changed this and almost entirely stopped watching porn but get my gf to send me pics every now and again. I find getting off to pictures of her better than videos of randoms doing more and more extreme things to each other
