With the new information so far, what’s your take on why that happened?
I have usually relapsed within a fortnight. I feel immense shame and so avoid “burdening” my partner with my sex drive as I don’t know how to initiate sex normally with her anymore. So eventually my needs boil over and I go back.

When I go “cold turkey” off of porn, every day feels like a second that I’m underwater…1…2…3… I feel like eventually I’m going to gasp for air and watch again.
I stopped trying to quit years ago. I eventually learned that it never addressed the shame. Now the issue is just not being secretive about it.

I will quit for a while and be ‘good’ especially if I am busy or physically with my partner for a period of time. Then when I am alone the urges come back and I always eventually relapse, often worse than before and then feel really guilty.

I don’t really watch that much porn anymore, I started to prefer just having sex over watching others do it. The problem is I became overly addicted to sex and was doing risky things to have it with random people quite often.
Feel like I have to watch porn or there isn’t a point in self pleasure, feel shame that my partner doesn’t know.

I’ve tried to quit several times always relapsing, really in two minds how to feel about porn as some people really have no issue so just have to deal with the shame I guess and figure things out.
I just get the urge, helps me with anxiety but leads to more.
