I find i use porn as a stress, procrastination and arousal release to “allow myself to focus better” even though it feels more like i wasted time afterwards. I think ive come to rely on it too much as a release in these situations which id like to change. Also i noticed i was doing it when my brain had faint arousal feelings but i wasnt physically aroused. I think that might be where i first started doubting my performance because i wasnt feeling like i was getting as hard even for masturbation.
When I use porn I try to always find the ‘perfect moment’ for climax. Rather than just enjoy the climax whenever it comes (no pun intended).
To not use it when I am feeling down as a distraction from my feelings. To not rely on porn as a reason to make a move on someone as I know I have that option when I get home so avoiding sex all together. To not use it to make me feel dirty when I feel I have let myself down: like a pity myself way of pleasuring myself.
I want to watch, porn, less often, and I don’t want the use of it to become a routine habit.
I want to watch porn now and then, not because of boredom
For me, it’s tied to a habit of cuming to quickly, rather than enjoying my partner
I’ve decreased frequency a lot since meeting someone, but this course has helped me see how the times I reach for it now are often for self-soothing, which has given me some food for thought.
I had an unhealthy relationship with porn and it was making me feel: anxious , depressed , lonely and feeling out of control. Ever since I’ve stopped watching it , I feel :in control, more kind to myself, less anxious and more confident. Instead of watching porn as a soothing strategy i instead : play guitar, exercise , read books and cold water dip. These feel much better for me than watching porn.
Use it less, I turned to Reddit to get away from actual porn sites but found myself just looking at it more than when I just watched porn. I need to quit going to Reddit for the NSFW pages.
Nothing, I have no issues with porn use.
Stop using porn as a vice to manage stress and anxiety. I want to find other ways to self soothe and not rely on porn as a quick fix to problems that will still be there after I’m done. I want to stop comparing my size to the unrealistic images shown of a male penis in porn and not compare the girls to my partner in order to get and maintain an erection with her. I used porn after a difficult breakup with an ex. It would help with taking my mind off what was a traumatic experience and once finished i would feel instant regret and shame that this is my reality now.
I want to stop completely. It’s not real so what’s the point.
I want to turn my energy into something else when I get the urge to watch porn so I can save that energy for my wife.
Not feeling the guilt or shame that comes with it after
I want it out of my life completely. I can masturbate without it and see no benefit for it.
Was never that into it except occasionally certain kinds
I have only watched me kind of prom since I am 12. Sexy wrestling. I can only cum thinking about sexy wrestling. I want to change that
I want to stop using porn as a substitute for physical contact sex. Where I think I won’t be hurt.
My porn use isn’t really that bad. I identified that it might be an issue a while ago and I’m learning to rely more now on my brain to masturbate instead of using porn. I try to consciously not use porn and use my brain instead.
I don’t use porn now, but I have used it in the past dating back to when I was 13. I suffer from engraved visuals that created a unhealthy view and expectation of sex. I feel confident in saying that I will never look at porn again, but I don’t feel confident is saying that I will ever recover from that unhealthy introduction to sex. My hope is to have sex with my partner without the pressure of preconceived notions.
