Normally boredum
I think for me it can be boredom, but also a way of just channelling out everything around me, so stress is a big thing too.
I would like it to be more intentional, rather than falling back to porn as a default thing to do to spend the time
I use porn To distract from discomfort
I watch porn for various reasons, to detress, because I’m horny and I’m single and don’t have a hook up. I’m sad about things, feeling self doubt. Been having erectile issues and feel that will help build up my mojo again to think I still got it
I know I used to watch to relieve stress and hide from my feelings. These days, I’m very conscious about my porn usage. And watch it very sparingly. But I think I may be overly conscious of it… to the point that I now feel shame around it. There’s the fear that I am polluting my mind if I ever watch it, which… evidently is not true. So I think for me, continued sparse use of porn, while letting go of any guilt or shame around occasionally watching some, would be the best course of action.
Porn watch was a way to get a quick win out of a boring day. I’m working on really wanting it & seeing it when I’m very charged. Training for mental visualisation sounds like the more exciting option
Watching porn for me is often a like heightened stimulation thing. I want to get super aroused instead of just moderately a rounded from memories or fantasies. Also it’s just habit if I’m stressed, horny, bored, lonely.
