What influences how often you watch porn?

Ever taken a break from porn? How did it go?

Usually I get the urge to watch it when I need a pick-me-up or I’m really bored. Kinda goes in hand with nicotine cravings so sometimes the urge comes on like the urge for a cig.

Stress can be a contributor but I also turn to it as a distraction from work or boredom.

Stress and perhaps lack of companionship when my SO is not around.

Stress and hangovers. I find the latter to be a driver, especially if I’m alone/have no plans.

I acknowledge that stress pulls it out of me

I gave up (soft) porn years ago, not that it was ever an addiction for me, and I’ve never found hard-core porn to be anything but hilarious.

I don’t usually watch porn, but explicit images like instagram models is enough for me. I am trying to rely only a bit on that to keep libido up, but not to the point in which I am always searching for it.

Honestly I’ve stayed away from it almost all year. And I feel better about myself.

I very rarely watch porn anyway

I’ve taken break. It’s actually quite nice

I have but always come back when I’m stressed.

I haven’t watched any porn and it’s quite nice. I am hoping to continue this streak

i would say if i’m bored or procrastinating i say why not and then end up doing it and regretting it

I feel a lot better about myself. The guilt of watching something I shouldn’t gets to me

Usually seeing something that turns me on triggers the idea to search for a bit more via porn. This can then lead to a porn binge session which always brings guilt with it after. I’m trying to cut down and feel better about it when I do

How depressed/self defeated I feel

Routine and boredom. I think there’s some comfort that I seek from watching it.

If I’m bored and horny

Took a break cuz I was getting too comfortable
