I used it because I was not getting sex from my partner for years. Now I’m with someone new and I find it hard to stay aroused. I can get aroused but can’t keep it. It’s not that it’s not visually stimulated but I think it’s changed me somehow. I haven’t watched in weeks and it’s harder to just get up at all without it unless engaged in sexual activities which usually only last a little while.
I want to be more intentional about it. I often use it 5 to 10 times a day. Edging myself. It turns out to be 2 hours or more in total sometimes. Which is too much.
I also think my sexual energy gets drained by porn and therefore I’m less energized for actual sex. I don’t know if that’s a thing, but that’s what it feels
Like.
I want to watch it less, not because I think there’s anything innately or that it’s a problem for me but I do think I use it as a crutch when I’m not feeling confident in myself to have actual sex. I could be having sex with girls but because of my performance anxiety I often just resort to porn because it allows me to avoid my issues. I want to solve them so that porn is no longer needed and is only something I do for fun.
My current partner is the first one I’ve had who thinks porn is wrong. She’s had bad experiences with her previous partner, so I don’t blame her. But it makes watching porn something furtive and secretive. So now I feel guilty. It used to be something fun to share, now…
I want to stop using it as a distraction when I am stressed.
I no longer use it and have no desire to resume doing so.
I use forms of porn when i have free time and when i know i should be doing something productive but instead i spend too long engaging with it without ever really being satisfied.
I also tend to only watch unrealistic porn that makes me feel bad afterwards, which im also not interested in exploring with a partner.
Stop using it. It’s 100% addictive, and I’ve been trying to stop for a year now and haven’t gone more than a week
Nothing
I was reading previous posts and someone mentioned not comparing myself to the men in porn. With DOD, it dick on Demand as I call it. If I’m tired or had a stressful day I shouldn’t expect myself to walk in the door. Drop my pants and have a raging erection. Those are fantasies and we live in the real world.
Find out why I do it and to see if there is a problem there or not my woman has actually helped me watch porn less but still thinks my Ed is because of her but it’s not she is a little critical though and has made me feel ashamed to self soothe but I have almost completely stopped my porn use
I am addicted to anal. I want to watch a variety and get turned on by vanilla porn and not feel guilty. I also want to maintain erection when having sex
I want to change of my relationship with porn…not using it as a coping mechanism when my relationship with my wife is bad…
I want to watch porn/masterbate when I’m horny, not because I’m bored
Nothing really, I don’t watch it that often, when I do I watch it with my spouse as something different from the normal sex routine or to see some new toy or kink we’ve talked about.
There isn’t anything I would change about my porn use today. I’ve never had a porn addiction but I don’t watch it nearly as much as I once did when I was a teenager. Even now when I watch it I don’t necessarily have to be masturbating while watching it. Sometimes I watch it for just what it is, art.
I want to stop using porn all together. I just feel like it mentally can cause guilt and shame for me, but also can sometimes be a need to finish masturbating so I will try and use other outlets to relax, or masturbate
I feel like if I don’t watch it then my responses to the actual partner stimulation is much sharper cause I am more hungry for it
rather than being “forced” to do it because she wants it and I have the feeling of being a good partner and do it for her
I want to watch porn way less, as well as re-normalize the kind of content I consume. If I receive a lewd photo from an individual I’m in a romantic partnership with? Fantastic. Anything else? Not so much. Also, when I feel triggered to use porn, I want to instead call a friend or meditate or shift to another coping mechanism for my stresses.
I want to cut it out either mostly or totally. I need to get more active and use that energy to govus on my health and relationship.
