Potentially when I’m feeling sad or stressed like right now
These porn lessons really cut through the noise online about “nofap”/abstinence being the solution to ED, and masturbating being shameful or a problem. Maybe the same stress that drove me to jack off for relief was also impacting my relationships and sexual performance.
These the last few lessons actually came just before a big fight I had with my Dad, I sat there afterward and realized that one of the only things I wanted to do was completely dissociate and watch porn because it would switch off my brain but I realized it would make me feel like shit afterward. It’s made me aware of my triggers and my use of porn to de-stress
I went essentially cold turkey a month ago. I would masturbate daily, sometimes twice or more if I had a day off, and I’m in my 40s. Now I have been doing masturbation less and I only do it using my imagination and I’m trying to just focus on my partner to see if it will help. Not sure if it’s working but I did notice it takes a lot longer. I did an experiment where I looked at porn briefly during one session and it accelerated me to orgasm way too quick.
There are different motivations for using porn and better alternatives for most of them
I’ve known for some time that I use porn when I don’t want to deal with something. It’s so immersive it’s a way of escaping whatever immediate negative feelings I have
That i probably just do it because I’m bored and let it control my arousal
I love diving into the fantasy. Like the other day I discovered this self-employed pornstar who is now pro. The fantasy of her wanting to do it out of passion not just for the money was mind-blowing. But when I pull away, I realize it’s just a narrative on the internet about someone I don’t actually know and will likely never get to know.
I’ve learned that for me, watching porn and masturbating has reached a point that it has become part of my routine before going to bed.
Logging why and how you feel when you want to watch porn could help identify triggers
Am glad am not addicted to porn as such but will watch it only when needed.
Enticed by attraction I can’t get at home
That I use porn as a coping mechanism quit often
I’ve used porn w/ masturbation as a way to press the abort button on the day to avoid life
I think it’ll be interesting to log my porn use, to know how much I use as much as why. I know I currently just scroll my gay porn twitter and can lose track of time there. I’m good at limiting my Instagram scroll but I don’t do the same for porn.
I have learned that Porn isn’t my problem, it is how I think about porn that is or can be the problem. Cutting back and diversifying my stimuli is definitely helping.
I’ve heard so many mixed messages on the topic of porn use. I quit using it a few months ago with minimal struggle - it didn’t magically solve my erection issues, but it may have helped my progress somewhat. I intend to stay off it for the foreseeable future
I dont use it often. I try to treat it as training to go longer. Try not to cum challenge
