Definitely trying to regain the physical relationship between my brain and my body. It feels like that connection is lost without the privacy of porn
I feel less guilty for enjoying porn now whilst recognizing that it is more beneficial for me to masturbate without it at all at this point in time. When I’ve developed more of a mind-body connection and confidence with partnered sex in the future then I may consider it as part of my erotic template

I’m learning that for me personally I think my porn use was me just searching for comfort, affirmation, nurturing, and gentle love that I had been lacking ever since I was a child. Knowing that now has helped me to adjust and really remove most of my porn use and go to more soothing, comforting, gentle audio content that is calm and uplifting and sensual instead of overstimulating and leaving me empty.
I watch porn daily out of pure habit. Even when I’m not feeling horny I’ll go to it out of habit. This is the trend I want to reverse. To use it when I’m actually in the mood for it and not just because I’m alone at night and it’s routine
Yeah, I have - I kind of see it as a not so a bad habit anymore. I’m okay about my habits, they are what they are, and they don’t make me or define me. And in a weird way that approach has made me feel much better. 
Currently allowing myself to indulge every other day. One day with no masturbating to porn and then one day with pre-scheduled porn time. That in and of itself is a major reduction in a very short time, and scheduling it on the allowed days gives me a reward to look forward to for my restraint the prior day. After a few weeks of this, I’ll try cutting back further to two days with no porn for one day with porn. We’ll see from there.
These are good steps to take. I am more into erotica than porn but feel that it has the same effect
I haven’t watched visual porn in a while but got “addicted” to erotic AI chatbot. Still creates shame and guilt so I need to cut down on that too
I think it’ll be good to be more mindful of when I watch porn and why. Doing other things instead of using porn, at times, as a crutch, could help in multiple ways
I’m cutting it out entirely and want to spend more time on self development. I don’t want the distraction anymore, and see it as harmful to my mental health.

I learn a lot about porn and open mind up more.
Im realizing I have less of a problem with porn than I thought. This is making think about how I can be more mindful usage.
My problem with porn is that it replaces my own fantasies with artificial ones. It also gives a false reality of sex in that every time you have sex you cum and finish and it’s perfect. Porn never fails but humans and partners are fallible

Try a 90 Day Challenge that resets Dopamine Trigger.
Porn creates unrealistic expectation for me when it comes to sex, and I find sex not as exciting or intimate as I wanted.
I realized that I was more often than not just watching porn because I was bored or stressed. I’m going to be more mindful about when I watch it, and choose more useful activities instead. I’m also going to stay away from the really bizarre stuff and try to reset my brain to respond to something more “normal.”
I really stopped watching porn when I realised that it was mostly short form, and I couldn’t stick to one video . I made a rule that if I wanted to watch it I have to stick to one video and watch it for the whole time
Porn doesn’t cause dysfunction.
