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

I do like to watch porn in evening but not always like every day.

I would love to be able to jerk off alone and cum without having to watch porn to get there.

I’m not interested in porn nor masturbation.

I’m trying to stop watching porn as an exercise in self-control and I’m masturbating just thinking about stuff, or reading or listening. However, I think that my porn usage, as well as my masturbating habits, we’re often just mechanical. I masturbated in bed, pretty much every evening, watching porn. It’s like a routine, which I believe, might have affected my relationship with arousal. Now, I’m trying to masturbate in a more conscious way, thinking more about the erotic feeling, not just rushing to cum.

I have been watching porn since I was 11 and I believe it has impacted my ability to get aroused. I don’t need it to climax when I am jerking off however, I can still go with mental imagery

I started watching porn when I was 14 and have used it regularly to combat feelings of loneliness. Everybody else seemed to be having sex so easily that I was convinced there was something wrong with me and porn allowed me to visualize being in those situations. Now I actually have somebody who finds me attractive and really wants me, but I can’t get or maintain an erection. I feel porn is a root cause.

I use porn sometimes when Im aroused and want to masturbate. I choose to watch it to have an actual visual and have a more enhanced experience.

I do not wish to use porn a a way of easier turn-on.

I’ve become reliant on porn to start sometimes. I as well find the need to look at erotic images throughout the day for no reason. I want to stop doing this and control more of my time on it. I feel I do it sometimes just to prove to myself I can still get hard, but then I just stop, and do it again later that day. I want to control this better.

I stopped watching porn years ago and noticed an immediate improvement in my mental health, relationships and sexual experiences. There’s still things I’d like to improve that I think stem from previous porn use like unrealistic expectations.

I sexualize everything because of porn.

I sexualise a lot because of porn and I’m transfixed on one type of porn

I first felt porn was a problem as a child when I thought I’d get bad luck from watching it. As I got older, I found myself searching for more and more variety almost chasing a novel experience which pigeon hold me to only be excited with certain fantasies. This impacted my experience in the bedroom negatively

Whenever I feel horny, I use porn as a way to cum. This can happen throughout the day and every time I feel gross and guilty. I want to be able to control my impulsive horniness and not jerk off with porn every time I feel it.

I feel really good

To destress and get over a relationship breakup

I want to try and reduce my porn usage and eat better and get to the gym more.
I think I masturbate too much.
I want to have broader fantasies and not be so specific.

I want to reduce my porn usage and only use it at night

I want to limit my porn usage and connect more deeply within my sexual relationships. Porn has become associated with daily routine for me and I feel like this desensitises real intimacy

I use porn as a release when my partner isn’t around.
