I want to learn better coping mechanisms for my less pleasant emotions and anxieties. I want to choose something different when i get bored
While still being open to the possibility of changing my answer, I’m thinking using porn as a coping mechanism of overwhelm and stress. I associate being turned on with avoiding/numbing out emotions. I want to explore other senses, too.
Nothing. I watch sporadically. Mostly of me and my girl.
I want to monitor myself to make sure I am not depending on it for an erection.
Don’t browse it for so long when I use it. I just want my sex drive to come back and I feel like it dies every time I binge watch porn.
I want to think about when, but especially why I am watching it? What are the effects I’m hoping to regain from this? And what are the actual effects?
I’d like to eliminate most of my porn use, as I try to hold off during the day but “just checking” can turn into an hour of it. I’d like to not use porn as my stress reliever or when I feel sad. There are other things I can do instead. I can be compulsive about it , too. When sometimes I almost subconsciously look it up.
Yeah and I want to get past the stigmatism of erections should last forever and long. Bodies are different. Pornstars use drugs to last for hours. I don’t want that.
I don’t know about usage but I use porn to prove to myself I can still get an erection. I want to be able to get one without using porn I want to not watch porn.
Not rely on it out of boredom or a quick release
I want to use porn less often. I feel
Like it would raise my sex drive.
Would like to eliminate it as it de-emphasizes sex with my girlfriend by switching my focus to what I see on the screen.
I’ve started to separate myself from porn over the last year. I think I’ve only watched it once this month. But I think the idea of relying on masturbation as a mechanism to relax and deal with anxiety is still something I struggle with. I think I would want to change the frequency to maybe once a week.
Reduce immensely. I even look up celebs who have done nude scenes or leaked pics etc.
I have done this for many, many years. Time to stop.
I don’t feel I have to change anything about my porn viewing habits in general. I don’t feel guilty about watching it, I’m not into any unusual or disturbing porn, I don’t view it obsessively, and I don’t use it as a substitute to deal with other personal issues. I do want to stop associating watching porn with my sex life. When I watch porn it’s an easy turn on and I find myself sometimes skipping parts to get to the main parts. So in my brain I feel like I’m associating this to when I actually have sex and it’s easy to get distracted and lose erections.
Yeah, sorry. Porn is wrong. Not changing on that. Yes, I have found it before, because I’m a male and the internet is the internet.
Not much. This session made me feel way more comfortable about my porn habits. I will try more variety.
I don’t know if there’s much that I want to change about porn. I’m very active in the adult content creation community. I feel like I do grab my phone a little too much to take a look at porn when I’m bored I guess if I could change something that would be to do a non-porn chore instead of grabbing my phone every time I get bored. Also, I could reserve certain times of the day to allow myself to catch up with my porn viewing.
I want to continue watching porn a few times a week for stress relief but I also want to make sure I don’t ejaculate too often so there’s sexual energy left for my husband and my friends.
Not to use it in the morning and wake up to it
I want to stop watching porn and masturbating alone completely.
