Thinking about your habits is normal. Change is always possible.
Didn’t realize I was using porn to self soothe. Looking for other ways to deal with stress.

I feel kind of choosy, a lot of fairly extreme or vaguely violent stuff doesn’t do it for me
I was watching porn because I thought I needed to cum, but now I’d say I do it because I want to
Everything here makes sense. I think it’s best I stop looking at it as a bad thing as this may be what’s causing the harm. I need to be more cognizant of when I’m going down the rabbit hole and switch gears with it to another acitivity.
Stop seeing it as a huge problem
I’m still in the clutches of erectile dysfunction, and I don’t look at porn very often. When I do, it’s because I want to see if I can get hard and make myself cum. It’s a goal. If I can do that, then I’ll be ready to look for a real, live sex partner (female). Pray for me.

Using porn as a way to get an erection isn’t a great solution.

I discovered erection issues and just general interest in sex went down when I cut out porn. It is my preferred stress reliever and I definitely have a harder and longer erection via porn then with my partner. But I’m seeing through this app, that there’s more to it.
I feel that I watch porn for entertainment and learning. I feel like it can help me become more comfortable with my body
I’ve observed that watching porn can be fun and relaxing in moderation and I don’t really aspire to total abstinance from anything other than hard drugs. However, When I don’t watch porn, especially early in the day, I feel more awake and alive and connected to the world. The same is true for all internet content. I also want to stop endlessly scrolling looking for the perfect video. And I do feel ashamed and frustrated sometimes when I “lose my streak.” I’d like to move away from that kind of thinking.
It consumes a lot of my time that I could be using for more productive things. It makes me feel ashamed. It gives me unrealistic expectations. It has got me used to only cumming when I’m masturbating with a tight grip and with visual stimuli
I only what it when I’m sad. When I’m not sad or self loathing I don’t ever feel the need to watch it
I used to be compulsive. Whenever I had a chance. It ate up a lot of time as well as the naps after……
I’ve given up 90% porn and solo play and I feel better. I can usually get 90% hard with porn and I’ve gotten better (about 70%) with my Gf. With this app and those changes in seeing progress with my PED!
Over the years I definitely notice a difference in the porn I’m watching. It’s gotten more hardcore and risqué over the years….
I have some anxiety related erection issues with new partners that I think have been exacerbated by porn. I also realized recently that I have a hard time maintaining an erection while attempting to masturbate without visual stimuli.
It is easier to be aroused with porn when I’m masterbating, but I still am aware of the point of no return so I can last long for the exercises.
Porn addiction is not a recognized condition
I noticed my sex life was a little better after hearing watching porn isnt the end all be all. However, I do also notice that abstaining for porn also makes my sex life a lot better. I find if I take a few days to a week off of porn, and I watch it again, my body wants to watch it over and over, it cant get enough of it.
I’m not addicted to porn. That porn can be healthy.
