I want to do it a lot less
I watch it 3-6 x a day out of either boredom or stress relief
If I watch porn I want to use it in a more healthy way not as a coping mechanism to deal with rejection. I also want to build my own self confidence first before watching it so I don’t compare myself to the men on screen
I want to watch porn only when I’m in bed in the evening if I’m masturbating
I want to stop watching porn. Not necessarily forever but for long enough to observe how it might change my mindset about sex and sexual encounters.
I’ve stopped using it as a way of self soothing and routine use. I would only like to use it on extended periods of time without sex just to relaxes some of that pressure so I won’t cum quick the next time I have sex with my wife. I feel guilty about using it because I know my wife is self conscious and it bothers her.
I don’t want to watch it all I want to be able just to enjoy sec with my wife and gain my erections back!
I would like to stop watching. I have been working hard at this and I feel like I have mostly gotten to the point where I only watch during certain occasions. For instance, I watched this week for the first time in 3 weeks. It wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be to stop. And when I did watch, it was a conscious decision that I made to watch and accept everything that came along with it. I didn’t feel that I was falling into a bad habit. It felt very controlled and on my terms.
I have been working on watching porn on my terms instead of falling into a rut with it. If I watch now, it’s because I made the conscious decision to watch and I planned it out.
I open my iPad, find some porn and go for it. But being with someone is preferable yet porn gets me to climax faster. I think I need to find another response to ‘boredom’ than porn… I need to lose a couple stone so maybe the gym… which seems to have the effect of making me feel horny. But the main thing is I want to be better at visualising when I am actually with someone.
just keep at a point where it isn’t a habit
I would like to cut out using porn completely, both for stress relief and for stimulation. I would watch porn to relieve myself of stress from relationship arguments, work stress, and just to escape from negative feelings. I notice the more porn I watched, the more extreme it would have to be. I know porn affects my erections because in my first relationship I had ED issues at the start. But when I stopped porn completely, my ED with my partner went away. After my relationship ended, I was celibate for 3 years to focus on career. To cope with the loneliness of no partner or friends, I started watching porn several times every day. Just recently when I started dating again, I had performance anxiety 2x in a row (even with cialis) with someone I just met, who ended up ghosting me as a result. Porn just gives me a sense of shame and causes me to compare the bodies of real life women to those in porn. Therefore I would like to just cut out porn permanently—I know if I can have a relationship with the right woman, that would help.
Not to feel guilty after watching porn and almost blaming it for all problems I am facing.
Have a positive relationship with it using it to benefit myself and mental state rather then seeing it as an evil.
I want to use porn to relax and to explore other kinks, fetishes or scenarios which wouldn’t typically happen but I will make sure I find other ways to let of steam and stress like going to the gym or for a long walk or being social with friends.
Not an issue
I want to be stimulated by reality and not porn. I want to disassociate from my preconceived thoughts based on porn
Porn for me is the wisky that goes with the cigarette that is masturbation, I’d like to be more in control of my consumption and less impulsive/habitual. And also rely on masturbation less as stress relief…
When I am stressed, overwhelmed or angry at something, I want to find ways to self-soothe myself not by watching porn/going on insta/tiktok, but by finding other activities to engage in like painting/sketching, listening/playing music etc.
I want to stop using porn as a way to help spike my dopamine and encourage myself to get active. I would rather find new ways to excite and motivate myself like the gym, or a sport.
I want to stop feeling guilty as if I’m cheating in my
Partner when I watch porn.
Keep it to home
Nothing. I used to watch it when I masturbated daily. I masturbated daily, not cause I was horny, but because I found it relaxing to cum. I found I’d made an association of masturbation with relaxation rather than arousal. Once I started seeing my current partner, I watch porn and masturbate far less. Around once a week. I find I no longer rely on it to be aroused
