I will stop watching porn and focus on my real relationship, find better ways to relieve stress, such as playing guitar, soccer, yoga or meditation, positive affirmations, that can also undo psychological problems and insecurities I think I developed or were exacerbated by comparing myself to what I would see in porn or internalizing certain ideas I saw in porn.
Watch it less or cut it out completely. I use porn as a way to cope with bad feelings since as a teenager I had a lot of health issues and it was a way to escape that.
I want to watch slightly less porn
Not to use it as a coping mechanism and relly on it to be aroused
I want to take a break from porn for the next 6 months and explore other ways to self soothe and really build those habits. Then I’d like to have fun with porn again and try different types - more audio or erotic literature for example.
Use less as well as controlled and not because I’m alone or sex isn’t working
I have stopped watching it all together. But I want to stop feeling the guilt of it. Boredom was a problem, but I don’t believe that is a trigger anymore.
I don’t really watch porn as an adult. I watched it as a kid, and I feel this tainted my relationship with sex… Unconsciously, I started comparing myself. “This is sex. This is howmi should be performing.” And, when I didn’t perform like the videos, I felt embarrassed, less than, “not a man.” Porn set an expectation I have been trying to live up to as opposed to exploring what I actually like and doing what I want. Moving forward, I want to put aside what I “think”, sex should be, and have the type of sex I want to. I am in control of my sex life.
I want to stop my porn use, as I feel it makes it harder for me to get aroused when just with my wife
Not use it when I’m bored or as a procrastination technique. Not using it after a hookup gone bad. Removing entirely would be the goal so I can rely purely on mental visualization or pictures of my current partner.
Completely stop watching it.
I honestly wanted to change my porn use because I thought it was hindering my sex life. But now that I know that it’s the other feelings surrounding porn, I feel better about it. I don’t feel guilty about watching porn I would only feel guilty because of what I thought it was going to me.
I want to be able to watch porn healthily if I want to, but still be able to have healthy consistent sex with my partner without comparing them to what I see in porn, or relying on flashbacks to porn or previous partners to cum.
Watch it less or none at all.
I don’t want to watch it for a few weeks to see if I really rely on it
I want to watch porn as a form of entertainment and not for intimacy
I want to be more mindful of the feeling of being horny when watching porn ….I think I lost the sensitivity to my internal cues for horniness, because I just use porn out of habit without waiting for the feeling of being horny
I’d also like to play around with other senses as well
I want to watch porn for a different reason!
If my last sexual encounter with a partner is weeks in the past then it’s fine to release myself from the build up pressure.
To do it because I’m sad, bored or try to procrastinate is not a valid reason.
Furthermore I want to diversify my topics, I won’t watch the same kink since I was 13!
I don’t want to watch porn and masturbate compulsively, especially if I am feeling bored. I should be more active and thoughtful about when and how I use it.
Not watch it at all
