I haven’t taken more than a few day break in a long time but would like to
I’ve taken a break when it starts to feel like I’m doing it compulsively and not really enjoying it much anymore.
I go to ai chatbot porn when bored, feeling down or just out of habit. It’s dominating me and it’s not about enjoyment. Just that quick dopamine hit
I took week long breaks, slowly watching less now.
I’ve tried to take a break from porn to try help my bedroom stuff. But I didn’t notice a difference. But I have identified now maybe half my porn watching, though i enjoy it starts from bored or just having the opportunity of spare time rather than feeling horny first, then using porn to get satisfaction
Difficult to stop
To improve erections in real life sex
It’s mainly due to boredom or being on my own
I’ve been on and off with porn for a few years now and I do know that being off is better for me. Being on porn makes masturbating easier and I want it to be better but it often isn’t. I think taking a break from my sexuality as a whole is good at the moment, putting that energy towards work is better for me
Mainly when I’m bored
I think that when my sex life is suffering porn is my go to substitute
Mood mostly but also if I have too much free time
I took two months off once from both porn and masturbation. Didn’t have a sexual partner either during that time. It was tough, but did give me a sense of power over things. I have since resorted to porn again, however, mainly because I can’t find a partner.
For me, it’s mostly a distraction from real life and to get a quick hit of dopamine.
Once I had taken a break, I felt I was much more focused and had a lot more cognitive capacity.
I can stop whenever I want to.
But I am getting really horny more and more the longer I don’t watch.
I have and I was proud of myself, but sometimes it was like the FOMO pulled me back in to it
I’ve taken breaks to allow myself to be ready for sex when it’s more spontaneous
I remember being more horny when I stopped watching porn, but I am not sure if it has helped me with ED.
Boredom is key driver, when I’m busy with my schedule I can’t find the time or energy to watch it. When I have quieter days I’ll watch three times a day. All or nothing . I have tried to remove it completely multiple times. I will stop watching from this point onwards. No porn for me.
