I stopped watching porn bc of any potential negative effects, but I’m afraid I watched too much porn and it added to my issues.

3

I want to stop watching porn completely, I’ve watched it for too long and ik it has to have some effects on me…so starting today no more.

4

Stop watching all together. I have a great imagination and I don’t think I need it

5

I used to watch porn normally as a teenager. It never really affected me because I was a horny kid. But slowly I started to want to watch it more and more, until all I wanted to do was watch porn the whole. Now I dont get hard when I watch it. I want to make porn into a “feel good” moment. Not just something I do every minute of the day.

6

I am done watching prom because it made me feel worse about my body.

7

It became a habit to relieve stress or boredom particularly when working from home. 4 or 5 times a day without really getting much from it.

I’d like to change it up; I’ve had a bit of a foot fetish since before puberty; once I came to terms with it, I was able to incorporate it into the bedroom in a way that was enjoyable for my partners. But with my porn use, I always go straight for the same content, and I think it has become a sort of “crutch” the last couple years. I’d like to be able to diversify so to speak

Stop watching compulsively, going cold turkey doesn’t usually work or last. I want to establish a healthier relationship with it and prioritize partnered sex more. Even if porn is an easy go-to that proves I can get hard and aroused.

10

I watch porn for a few minutes before going upstairs and having sex with my wife as an arouser. I’d like to get aroused without using that as a kickstart.

11

Stop watching porn when I’m bored

12

I want to limit the time I spend watching them.

13

I’d like to substitute porn with thoughts of the person I’m seeing.

14

Stop creating unrealistic expectations of partner sex

15

Develop a better awareness of my porn habits. Not do it too often. Use my imagination more.

16

After opening up to my partner about my porn use and my relationship with it I stopped for a while but it felt like my mood and libido went with it. I started again but with a focus on more natural looking bodies and realistic scenarios. Also learning that the sex I had in mind from porn was solely focused on my pleasure not OUR pleasure

17

I want to stop watching porn because it reminds me of the sad lonely nights being an absolute anxiety ridden loser, and to rid myself of any potential negative effects.

18

I quit watching porn a couple of months ago and I feel like it was a good decision. There was a point in time where I would watch it on average about twice a day but I quit because it made me feel so guilty. I feel like I watched so much of it that if there are negative consequences on sexual performance then the damage is already done. I’m not sure where I stand on the impact porn has on my brain chemistry but I do know that quitting has positively impacted the way I view other people and has made me feel a lot better which is why I don’t feel a strong desire to turn back to it.

19

I started watching to young and I think it distorced my sexual perspective. Now I’m older is kind of boring

20

I want to stop for my partner. I think she is the most perfect woman in the world and out of respect for her I want to not watch porn anymore
