What do you want to change about your porn use? (Part 2)

I want to have more sex than watch porn. I don’t want to feel that I’m cheating by watching porn instead of having sex with my s/o. I want to not feel guilty

I don’t want to watch porn.

I don’t want to use porn. I don’t want to rely on images of other sexual encounters to make me cum. I want to be present and in the moment with my spouse. Porn with me did start vanilla and ended up in abhorrent types.

I don’t want to depend on it as a soother and also try to stop using it to avoid other things

I want to quit pornography I enjoy it but I feel it’s not worth it anymore.

I’m actually more comfortable with my porn watching habits. This has reassured me a little that is not a big deal.

I want to be more aware of when I use it and how I use it

Don’t use porn just when I’m bored

i think porn plays a big role in my ED because i like to get off,sex stays on my mind and sometimes corrupts my mind with my work

I’ve always had a bad feeling about watching porn or masturbating. I think I need to stop feeling so bad or embarrassed about it. I think I will gain a lot by taking this step towards not feeling so bad about it.

I decide to not be the man that watches porn anymore. I cannot identify to this man. I believe I will gain a new lease on my adult life with this

I used porn to deal with negative emotions and stress while in high school. Many years later I realized it was a problem because I used it so often and to procrastinate from doing schoolwork or even socializing. When I couldn’t get an erection the day I had a chance to lose my virginity, I chalked it up to nerves or physical health (hernia at the time). Eventually after many more sex attempts I realized I had a problem and blamed porn.
I don’t mind cutting out porn if it helps me get better, but given my wild nature I would like to be able to incorporate it into my sex life in a healthy way.

I watch porn to get a sense of pleasure and imagining doing certain things with my woman.
I come because of the satisfaction and fantasizing when I’m not with her.
I don’t let it control me. It doesn’t depress me nor do I live off of it.

It’s my getaway from everything in life, and sadly sometimes I enjoy it more which is why I think I have mental and erection issues. Imo, porn should not be inviting or more stimulating for a men.

I get off to porn 3,4,5 times a day sometimes just cuz im bored, it stops me from getting stuff done i use it to relieve stress sometimes i guess, or if my lady hasnt gave me any in a while. i didnt watch alot of porn til i was about 25 im 28 mostly cuz i was bored and depressed at the same time i was havin plenty of sex, i would watch porn do my thing then id just go again when company came.
ive never had a problem keepin it up or lasting or finishing til this relationship, i feel like this last year I’ve slowly watched myself decline during sex and my porn habit increase,
a part of me wants to believe i cant keep it up because shes not erotic enough and theres not enough intimacy during sex, but i feel like that didn’t become a problem until i started goin crazy on the porn, and i wanna stop watchin it but im have trouble stopping and i feel like its hurtin my relationship alot

While my porn use might have been a compulsion and coping mechanism in the past, I would like to no longer depend on it as such in my future. I want to prioritize other hobbies over porn use more, and separate myself from my anxieties built from its use.

I want to remind myself that the very occasional use of porn isn’t contributing to my ED. I want to be aware of the difference between using porn because I’m sad and feel lonely (which I don’t want to do) and using it because I feel horny and erotic.

I want to do more productive things rather than turn to porn whenever I have a spare moment in time. I don’t want to turn to porn whenever I feel down.

Porn is easy to get off to. It’s safe in that there’s no fear of disappointing my woman. It’s convenient. I don’t have to FIND a woman. Now that I have a willing partner, she’s 2 hours away and we can’t easily be together often. So porn is still too easy an alternative. Maybe it’s also setting unrealistic expectations about what she should look like and what she can expect from me.

I’d prefer to stop using porn as an initial stimulant when masturbating. I would prefer to focus on my partner, thinking more about the space she occupies in my life, the lines and curves of her body, and the ways our bodies feel when they move together. I’d also prefer to stop using porn as a flip book smorgasbord when selecting something to masturbate to.
