And are there any habits you might like to build?
I think I just really love to watch porn, sometimes I watch porn and masturbate but I don’t cum, not because I can’t but because I only want the feeling and the visuals which I really really love
Habits are so powerful I shouldn’t be surprised that watching porn can be one. I think paying attention to any habit is a good idea.

The porn log seems like a nice strategy to better understand myself

I should pay attention to whether I’m watching porn out of habit or if it’s something that I’m actively desiring in the moment. And make sure that I have other ways of getting off beyond using porn.
Porn may not be addictive, but it can be a habit!
I often watch porn as a way to destress. I could mix it up with other de stressing activities
I haven’t watched porn in a long while. Mostly because of my long practiced discipline of not watching it. But now I want to see porn with the intention of finding what I find a turn on and desirable for me.

I don’t think it’s the only response to horniness I have, but I see how it could become that very easily. Great to have that on my radar
If I turn to porn, it’s strictly to see if I can get a hard-on yet. I lost that ability many years ago, and it discourages me to think maybe I’ve just gotten too old to do anything but enjoy watching other people do what I so fervently wish I could do myself. Further complicating the issue is the fact that my wife just thinks I’m a dirty old man, and sexually disloyal to her, if she catches me looking at nekkid ladies or talking dirty to some bot online. What’s a man to do when his spirit is willing but his flesh is weak??

A lot of times I watch porn because I’m disappointed in my loss of libido and body’s reaction with an erection. I have the mental desire for sex, but my body doesn’t respond like it used to.
I often just go into autopilot mode when it comes to porn.
I want to reduce the times I watch porn just due to habit.
I’d like to explore not using porn to masturbate when I’m horny and trying fantasies or erotic stories instead. I rely on porn to get to climax and I think it’s perpetuating a mindset where sexual acts are all about climax and not the pleasure and sensations I feel along the way
It’s nice to read perspectives on the WHY of porn. For a long time I believed porn was the root of my sexual problems, but I’m learning that’s not the case. I am ready to journal more and include my porn, sex, and masturbation habits in it.
That porn is sometimes done as a quick fix. Something that can be addressed with other activities.
I often feel like I’m on autopilot when watching porn & it makes me feel more shameful of the habit. I really want to make a change, and feel incredibly stressed out by my current living & work situation & am hoping I take my time from vacation currently to use to build a better life for myself going forward.

I think I most often watch porn out of a desire for distraction or because I’m bored and it’s something exciting. I’ve recently begun using porn more as a way to explore getting and maintaining an erection.

I use it as a crutch to get hard quick instead of foreplay to get hard. When foreplay doesn’t get me hard, my wife gets out of the mood and then it’s a confidence killer. Porn usually puts me into a sexual state quickly, I get hard and then turn to sex. I’d rather the foreplay route but I’ve fallen into this repetitive cycle and it’s been hard to break.
