I want to watch less hardcore porn and enjoy the art of foreplay and the story in porn.
I want to be able to refrain from searching it whenever the desire presents its self. I need to learn to control my compulsive nature around porn. Perhaps I need to share it with my partner so it doesn’t feel like my own little dirty world
I genuinely don’t know. I have many of the concerns about it that are addressed in this chapter. I have worried that it radicalizes my fantasies, that it makes me overly reliant on visual stimulation, that it increases my depression, that it worsens my body image issues. I am coming into this with an open mind and trying to understand which of my concerns are rooted in reality and which are rooted in fear.
That I need it to become aroused prior to sex. I’ve become so sensitive to my partner’s smallest negative vibe - (I immediately feel rejection), that I gradually transitioned to porn because in doing so, I’m free to fantasize without risk of doing anything that I sense is off putting to my partner (erection killer).
I wont use it to procrastinate my responsibilities or as a break from studying. I will only use it at night when I feel a real sexual need/sensation. Idk
Less. Only at night. Not to procrastinate.
I don’t watch porn so this part is totally irrelevant to me.
I am a few weeks into my no porn journey. I used to watch BLACKEDRAW the most as I found the cheating aspect massively turned me on. However I am going to keep up my habit of not watching porn and aim to find sexual pleasure from real life.
I want to limit my use to situations I would actually put myself in. I also want to make sure that I’m not using it as a primary de-stressor, or as a way to procrastinate, or as a way to make myself feel better after doing someting wrong.
I want to be able to get excited about interactions with a female that don’t include me needing foot fetish porn or fantasy porn to get off.
Just be more mindful of my use of it. Don’t rely on it for masturbation and orgasming
I don’t watch porn at the moment and want to keepnit that way
I want to stop watching porn to regain my confidence and become aroused by the real thing instead.
Porn is not good for anyone anytime. Watching others have sex is not health for the mind body or spirit. Sex should be an intimate act that connects two people deeply. Pornography teaches that sex is just performative for pleasure but there is more to it than that.
I don’t agree with most of this lesson.
More variety
I don’t watch that shit, it’s weird watching 2 random people fuck
Porn kills my libido. My sex life and fantasies are so much clearer and better without them. I feel much more sexual as a person.
I want to watch porn only in the evenings, and only if I’m horny, not stressed
I want to turn to something else to pass the time instead of porn such as reading or a game.
I didnt start using porn and masturbation until almost 16, but once i discovered it it became an outlet for stress and coping. Theres always been a shameful stigma behind it for me growing up in a religious household which has led me to feeling multiple ways towards both porn and masturbation
