That’s it’s immoral from a religious upbringing, that it desensitizes me to real-life sex, and that it’s easier for me to get off on porn than making the effort to find a real-life partner.
It’s the damn purity culture/control-centric religion that has so much judgment and even disgust toward sexuality, including porn . I do not agree with those messages anymore, but my body hasn’t caught up to my brain…and my body still remembers “this is shameful”. I’m working to be present with my body.

I struggle with idea that it doesn’t impact my ability to get hard. But it’s really just a self fulfilling prophecy

That I’m a bad or gross person for watching it. Having grown up in a high demand religion full of purity culture there is so much shame with simply doing something normal. Screw my past bad feelings. I’m ok! I’m normal! No more shame!

I am brought to imagine that it’s something only a few grown up people do. I know this is wrong but it’s a thought in the back of my mind. I guess it’s because only few people talk openly about it
Porn gives me an escape that distances me from my partner. I wish to stop hiding.
Porn is so hot that real life encounters are underwhelming, and it’s not enough to get me hard
Porn desensitizes you and trains your body to get hard in only one way

That its not habit forming
That you can only have good sex without a condom. There’s so little condom usage in porn, but in real life that’s dangerous with a new partner.
That I should be able to have sex like they do in porn at least sometimes
I’m still watching but I’m feeling more at peace with it slowly
I struggle to let go of the porn myth of it not hurting erections.
Porn is ruining/has ruined my ability to enjoy sex with real people
