I may not be as addicted as I thought I was
Rejection and boredom are my triggers.
Porn consumption seems to be more of a symptom to a deeper need of something we don’t have controlled or identified. I guess the question to give full awareness to that need and if watching porn is still a choice it can become a positive rather than an addictive behaviour.
I definitely hsve realized porn is my go to self-soothing technique. I want to learn to find more helpful strategies
The information here made me realize that porn has been a consistent coping-mechanism for me for such a long time. I would like to start looming for other ways to process thoughts/emotions
I use porn when I’m stressed, than I feel bad after I use it
That it can be healthy if you’re not ashamed or feeling negatively about it. Like many relationships with other things in life
Important to aware of why I am using porn
I think I just watch porn before sleep time
In bed to help get to sleep. It’s like a nightly ritual and it’s definitely autopilot now.

I want to remove it from my life as I feel a sense of shame around it
I just would rather use my mind or audio.
I go into autopilot. I went cold Turkey on it at the start of year as it was affecting my relationship - I would cum watching porn then not be able to cum for my partner. I did re-lapse back into it about fornigbt ago and it came back to a couple days in row then I stopped it again

I’m constantly horny when I’m by myself. If I don’t have anything else I ended up just resorting to porn and masturbation
Porn is a habit. I have been known to have other bad habits too. By being mindful of what I’m feeling before turning to porn, I can control if I really need it.

I want to reduce the amount of porn to moderate.
I have learned that I probably use porn on autopilot quite a lot, I want to be more conscious of the feelings that happen right before wanting to use porn.
It’s definitely a habit. Autopilot takes over and I don’t even realize I’m looking up porn, until I snap out of it.
Upon reflection I’d definitely just use/watch porn out of boredom. I could be occupied with cooking dinner or playing games but any break I get I’d open Reddit or Twitter and scroll through x rated pages for absolutely no reason.
It definitely became a habit, I’ve noticed how many times in this past week that I’ve picked up my phone almost as if I was going to go on these apps but I’m 4 days porn free

Beating it became something adjacent to brushing my teeth everyday. I just did it. No real reason why when it came down to it.

Porn is how I cope with negative feelings of loneliness and unworthiness.
