i stopped watching completely because it was ruining my mental state of mind

1166

In fact I already kind of changed that but sometimes I am “relapsing”: watching more (especially commercial) porn in its entirety (more or less) rather than just skipping to the juicy bits. This made me realize just how often porn movies or videos use totally unrealistic or even absurd scenarios as mere set-ups for their actors having sex than anything else (when the sex most of the time is not very creative anyway…)-oh and almost none of the sexual partners in porn videos actually talk to each other unless to share the same three lines of dirty talk…

I want to stop watching porn purely out of compulsion. I’m inclined to watch if I’m bored, hungover, or feeling depressed. When I’m done, I go straight back to these feelings. I think this makes me feel shame because I did nothing to address my issue.

I am comfortable with my porn use. Through previous therapy, I now try to focus on which sense exactly is turning me on

I’m 4 weeks deep into quitting porn, but that’s because I realized that solo sex is easier to do than real sex. There’s no fear of not performing well when I use porn, so I no longer view it
