Being bored or stressed and using it as a coping mechanism, and seeing that those that wanted to reduce watching porn did it for one or both reasons, really resonated.
Honestly, I still don’t know why I watch porn. It is a way to get me to escape the world for a bit, I suppose
I am on autopilot. Doing other activities, as recommended, would alleviate the boredom, stress, and problems better than porn can.
I could be turning to porn to satisfy feelings that don’t necessarily need porn to address them
I think because I’ve been watching it so long it just became a habit. Then add in the daily stresses of life, and it becomes a way of life that I am currently trying to work on.
Mostly watch when I’m bored. I watched too much so I even know the plot what are they going to do next. Even a new porn movie that I never watched
I watch it when I’m bored or feeling down about myself or something else
I watch porn to stop feeling any negative emotions. I’d say mostly related to anxiety
I watch porn really for the sake of releasing stress
I do it for boredom. I can fill that space with other things.
Stress. Boredom. Quick cum
Handling Stress in life and dopamine kick
I often default to porn when my relationship with my wife isn’t great, which creates this spiral of “you’re not doing this for me.” I think if I cope in other ways, it’ll be healthier for our relationship.
Nowadays, I primarily watch porn after nights out, specifically if I have taken party drugs
Before I turn to porn and masturbation, take a step back and understand what I am feeling in that moment
I use porn to relieve stress, beat boredom or for relieving any pent up sexual energy when I’m by myself. I need a better way to channel those emotions or feelings instead of using porn to confuse myself into achieving satisfaction and relief
