I’d like to be less reliant on it to get aroused and reach orgasm. I find it enjoyable and don’t necessarily want to give it up altogether but as its currently the only way I can seem to get hard, I’d really like to find other ways of doing that as well…like I used to.
Use moderately as an appetizer not the full meal
Porn absolutely is addicting. I relapsed for years trying to get off of it. I want no part in it. I’ve finally broken my addiction and am not going back.
It’s desensitizing and makes unusual behavioral scripts seem normal to your mind. Toxic waste.
I want to not always rely on it for stress. I want to turn to sex with my partner is those instances. And not be afraid I won’t perform.
I’d like to change how often I watch it. I’d like to get to point where I use it maybe a once every few weeks.
Also to not use porn as a cure for boredom, I should be finding other creative outlets for my boredom
None, I deleted all my videos and rarely watch it now. Now I just use my mind when masturbating to picture a succession of hookups or exes. It has not made a difference with my Ed
I want to use porn as a novelty or relaxation option. Not my primary one or one I compulsively use.
As of the last ten or so years (my forties) my relationship with porn is complicated. I would watch because I felt horny, but even as my brain was totally into it, my dick wouldn’t get fully hard. But I could still cum while semi soft. It’s bizarre. I’ve always had sexual anxiety, but before it was only with a sexual encounter, never with porn. Now it seems my sexual anxiety also includes masturbation. This is depressing. I end up feeling badly about myself. So now I tend to skip porn altogether. I hope I’m not the only one, and that this chat is also monitored by the experts at Mojo, to add to any comments from my peers.
I have been using porn a lot in the last decade (sometimes I can watch it and/or masturbate all day long or for hours and hours), as a mind numbing escape strategy not to think about my real and daily life problems and to avoid to deal with them or to confront myself with things I ought to do and find a solution about very bad challenging or painful situations in my actual life that to me they seem with no exit. I would love to find another “reliever”, another soothing and calming mechanism and way out of it, like for instance doing more sport like I once used too (much more satisfying), playing my guitar and improve at it. But I also would like to learn and avoid postponing to deal and confront with my problems to solve them, once and for all, and get back for me that better life I haven’t been able to live, also because of my consistent use of the panic door of porn and/or masturbation, which at some point I have also been watching wherever the chance, even at work or commuting. So, if I need to find some other kind of soothing for sure, I also don’t want a mer| substitution creating another bad habit, but I’d wish to become able to find the strength in me not to use any at all and start to LIVE. And, in the end, I wish I could use porn in a controlled way, I already feel no guilt, but I hope for a time when I can watch it for a few minutes, enjoy it and be satisfied with that.
I stopped watching it about a week before discovering Mojo. Feel much better about everything already
Frankly, I don’t really enjoy porn that much anymore. I feel as though these days I only use it compulsively or because I’m feeling stressed or anxious. I want to masturbate without the use of porn more often, or just sit with my erections and not feel like I have to masturbate when I get one in bed. I also would like to work on not feeling guilty or beating myself up when I do watch porn. Growing up in a religious environment, I do tend to be a bit harder on myself about porn, masturbation, and sex than I probably should be.
I want to confront my shame around my porn use, as well as maybe just feel less obligated to use it when I masturbate. I don’t necessarily find it super pleasurable anymore, but it has become somewhat habitual to use it to help stimulate myself while masturbating. I mostly use it as a way to relax or relieve stress/anxiety, but it sometimes does get in the way of other things I want to spend time on. Instead, I’d like to try masturbating without it for a while, or to use it more sparingly.
Being impulsive
I want to compare porn to my sexual partners and experience less.
When I feel lonely, I want to talk to a friend rather than use porn as an escape
Watch a greater variety to explore.
Other than that, super happy with my use 
Sometimes I feel slightly guilty about my porn use. I don’t think it’s a huge problem by any means, but sometimes I would have rather used my imagination to masturbate instead. And now I’m trying to watch more amateur and “real” porn. Not necessarily have to be vanilla, but nothing crazy. I do think that sometimes it’s really easy to compare myself to these pornstar guys who have huge penises who have a hard on for an hour+, which is quite demoralizing when you realize you can’t perform at the same level. I do think that is one thing that porn could be real negative about, giving me unrealistic expectations about how and what sex should be like. I don’t actively, or consciouly, compare myself when having sex, but I do think it may linger in the subconscious.
I had no performance anxiety and weird expectations before porn. Once porn stepped in and I overused it, it became a problem. I want to cut it out altogether. Understanding that porn is simply acting, editing and packaging a false product that doesn’t depict the accurate reality about sex is liberating.
I’d rather just not watch it
I watch porn out of habit. Usually not even horny so it takes a while to cum. I want to break that habit. I know I use it as a crutch for my depression and severe introversion. I want to stop it so i can have satisfying sex with my boyfriend or other people.
