I think i would tend to watch porn when i was presented with a visual trigger, like seeing some social media post or ad or something. I would say that I don’t need it though, in those situations i can masturbate without it if i choose, or if that’s too much trouble just wait until I see my gf.
I’d like to journal why I think I watch porn and triggers and try to eliminate those triggers
I have 3 main triggers: to relieve stress; to relieve boredom; or as a distraction mechanism to avoid doing something that I don’t want to do.

I would like to build a log to discover my triggers over a longer period of time. I think this would also help me to gain greater perspective on whether I think watching porn would be beneficial to me in that moment
Building a log would be great for me
Porn is something I watch when I want to delay an activity

Often do it to relieve stress but also to satisfy sexual urges in place of my extremely unsatisfying sex life with my wife.

Mostly do this to relieve stress. When I’m hungover I often want to masturbate to feel better. Struggling to come up with an alternative
I do watch porn to alleviate feelings of loneliness due to lack of sexual satisfaction in real life. I try to get out and meet people but it’s hard at times.

Stress, fantasies that I suppress IRL, boredom, procrastination and even when my favorite soccer team loses
I watch porn to enhance masturbation. If I feel horny then I want to masturbate, if I’m bored I want to masturbate.

I feel guilty, my fiance says it’s similar to cheating, and it has affected her visual of herself because she feels like she’s not enough. Even though she is enough, I feel guilty after watching it.

More admitting that I watch it more to relieve stress, escape and when I am board. Lately I do not feel “satisfied” after doing it.
I watch porn to supress negative feelings when I’m not with my girlfriend
I watch porn only when I’m horny and to get off. I feel more comfortable alone and it’s easier to climax. I always feel terrible and disappointed with myself after.
Watching porn is the only way I can cum when I masterbate and I need to reprogram using other ways

How do you plan to reprogram yourself?
I have a crush on a girl in my big friend group, but she rejected me. I know we’ll never be together but physically, she’s the image of the perfect woman for me. I masturbate to porn actresses who look like her almost every time after we hang out
I watch it because I feel lonely and at times feel like I’m the only single person out there. I’ve become better about watching it. I should replace this bad habit with a more productive one.
I honestly just do it because I want to ejaculate fast instead of taking my time but then I regret it and I wish that I should’ve took my time instead of rushing to make myself cum fast
