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

I’d like to stop watching porn so that I will become aroused naturally by women and their actions and not just as a result of it needing tone me that gets myself hard

I need to focus on completing the tasks that are giving me anxiety before reaching for porn.

I want to have the courage to invite partner to watch porn with me.

I want to use porn when I want to, not when I feel I have to. I want to not feel shame for my choices.

I do believe I consume too much porn. I stopped watching for a week, but gave in a little today. Unfortunately, I didn’t become aroused. Perhaps watching porn increases my performance anxiety.

I want to do something productive or brainstorm future plans instead of watching porn when I’m bored

I want to use my energy in more positive ways
When I was married I used it to ge satisfaction without having to deal with the emotional complexities of dealing with my wife. Almost as a fuck you, less risky way of cheating
I’m single, have been for 3 year and have sex available to me but still use porn more than I’d like

I do eve that porn is creating my a picture of an ideal fantasy that somehow affects my relationship. I would rather focus on my feelings or sensations to improve and explore new things with my partner than a solo game

I want to watch porn less and focus on other sensations such as sound smell and hearing to get aroused

I want to stop porn and wanking entirely if I can. I’ve been using a cock cage to force myself to not wank but I keep removing it

I want to develop a more exciting sexual imagination rather than watch porn. I feel like I am ready to leave porn behind for the most part

I have ADHD and I use porn for the adrenaline rush if I’m feeling overwhelmed. It’s become a daily routine and I’m noticing that guilt is following it almost every time now. I’m also noticing that I don’t look at my wife in the same way as I used to since I started using porn more often.
I’m hoping I can reduce my porn consumption, with the goal of redirecting/storing those releases for when we get intimate.

I want to be able to watch porn without comparing my package size to the actors. I don’t want to think that my wife has to react the same as the actresses do during sex for me to know she is enjoying it

I thin I’vemasturbated too often to the point I’ve desensitized so I think I’dlike to lessen usin porn to self soothed night

i’m vanilla. She’s cookie dough ice cream😩 i think the problem isn’t to much or not enough compassion or arousal I just need to learn what she likes and then i genuinely don’t ever see a reason for porn. Porn acts as a fantasy show that when turned on i can imagine what me and her would do. Maybe if we just stopped having anxiety over the fantasy. Men. Grab your women. Go learn their bodies. Drop your phones. and maybe through just more passionate foreplay & sensual stimulation. you’ll see it’s not porn your mind craves. it’s a deeper touch and ravenous energy.

There was a moment recently where I realized that I had been consuming porn every day since puberty—so 20 some years of porn consumption. I used it when I was horny, bored, sad, hungover, it was a crutch. Now that I’m in my mid 30s, my relationship with my partner is suffering, my relationship with myself is suffering. I felt I needed porn to become aroused and sometimes that didn’t even work. The type of porn that I needed to become aroused began to become more intense. I decided I needed to quit porn altogether and focus on the intimacy that was truly important—which is the intimacy between my partner and I. I don’t buy into the fact that porn is not destructive behavior.

I think I just want to use my imagination more often, but other than that, I’m quite OK with my behaviour now, nothing actually wrong here, thank you! I was just ashamed but no reason for that!

I don’t want to watch porn for hours on end anymore. Just enough to enjoy the content, cum if I choose, and move on with my day.

I would like to masturbate without porn for a while. I don’t think my porn consumption is problematic but I would like to change it up for a bit so I don’t become reliant on it.

I tend to use porn when i’m bored or when i’m dealing with my issue. I want to be able to watch porn only when i’m horny. I need to find better coping mechanisms.
