One reason I watch is to practice maintaining my erection and avoiding catastrophizing
I’m going to do the log to really analyze where I’m at with my habits
More recently I haven’t actually struggled with porn. I only really watch I now when I’m focused on being turned on and that’s my main goal. I haven’t used it to self soothe or relive stress.
There are a variety of reasons people watch porn. It’s ok to do so at times when for the right reasons. There are alternatives though as well. Will be an interesting study
Porn is when the pressure to perform is off probably because the pressure is on someone else to stay hard, stay engaging. As a passive participant there just more fun on your terms
I will be interested to look at my porn log after 10 days
Moving apartments. A woman is texting me, showing interest, but I’m afraid I’ll disappoint her, so I don’t try and retreat.
Realizing porn is something I mostly only want when I’m bored was an eye-opener. I know I seek out new sensations a lot and could do that in a different way
I watched porn a lot do to stress/boredom/loneliness, but as I progress, I’m proud that I cut back. I think it’s visual stimulation I go for when I do watch, so it’s not urged by negativity.
I watch Putin every note and then mainly for visual stimulation
Porn* now * and then
Mainly at bedtime to make me a little sleepy afterward. Or just when I’m horned up and don’t want to look for a hook-up. I don’t use porn as much as I used to, especially since the age verification blocks on porn sites. I’ve been using imagination a little more too.
I watch porn as a way to sleep, its mostly out of boredom in the evenings where I would otherwise be scrolling social media
I find I watch it due to loneliness. I just want to spend quality time with a woman and feel that connection. When I can’t have it, that’s when the porn comes in

I watch porn out of boredom and to try and fix my erection problems
I haven’t watched porn for a while now, but when I did it was mostly to let off steam
Is possible that viewing images (explicit, pornographic, or otherise) is because women are beautiful? And I desire to appreciate that without any vicarious intent or external judgement?

I watch it for a quick arousal response. I then pay attention to those sensations and try and recreate without porn. It also help refresh my stimulation image bank for when I’m in a RL situation.
For some reason I put porn on when I’m already horny, at that point I don’t actually need it, and I spend too long finding something I actually want to watch, and then I’ve lost my mindset
Honestly it’s how I coped with lonliness
