So, recently I started to notice myself (my inner critic) questioning my ability to get hard even for porn… which never really happened in the past. As a result, I’ve been avoiding porn almost entirely. I’m realizing now that that’s my relationship with sex as well, my inner critic tells me I won’t be able to do it so I avoid it. I’m thinking if I can get back to watching occasional porn and not judging myself for it, I can help re-build my positive relationship with sex.
To stop being my comfort… I am in complete control and my anxiety drops
Not to use porn because I’m procrastinating or bored
The guilt, even though I know its right to watch porn it’s deeply rotted in my bran that porn is wrong.
Watch it less frequently only when i feel horny and not just because im bored or can’t sleep
I want to change how often I watch it. I watch too much sometimes multiple times a day. And always maternal and orgasm. I need to get away from it
I watch porn when I feel aroused and I’ve noticed myself browsing on Instagram for an arousal trigger to justify watching porn. I then tend to have particular preferences which relate to a power dynamic I don’t experience in my daily life, so it feels like more of a taboo. I don’t watch for hours as I tend to cum after 5-10 minutes of browsing followed by 5-10 minutes of masturbation. I tried going cold turkey but that didn’t work for my ED but I will be reducing my viewing and being more reflective on what is driving me towards these habits.
I don’t want to watch it anymore. I’m generally compulsive, sober from substances for years. I probably need at least a long break.

I don’t want to watch porn at all but if I do I don’t want to be too angry at myself for doing it. Also if I am in a sexual situation I always think about how recently I watched porn and if it is “too recent” I think I won’t perform as well.
I don’t want it to set the bar for real life.
Wouldn’t say I’ve ever been addicted to it I just used it as a way way of helping relieve myself when I needed it, never felt guilty about watching it have even watched it with previous partners but then when you become single and it’s out there 
i can however understand the links between porn and warped sense of reality in terms how we think it should be
Never watch it again.
Initially I was thinking to watch porn to get arousals . Now i understand, that will make ED more worse. I had fantasy to watch lesbians and particularly to one religion. May be , I am not addicted but i do watch porn regularly.
I want to stop watching it completely and distract my self with something else. I often find I watch it when procrastinating or bored.
Choose something else when im procrastinating or bored
The feeling of shame for the type of porn I watch
I don’t want to watch it as often
i want to get hard, stay hard, and cum huge loads without needing porn
I want to change my habitual masterbastion using porn.
I need more ways to cope and self soothe instead of opening porn
I don’t watch it much at all anymore, but when I do I’d like to not rely on specific fantasies, especially because my partner prefers vanilla sex
