I’ve realized that I watch porn definitely when I’m horny, but also when I’m stressed. I think I have so much stress built up and didn’t recognize it so I would turn to porn. I want to alleviate this feeling of need porn to cope.
Stressed, I watch it when I’m stressed to blow off steam and feel relieved
Think I watch to relieve stress. Sometimes just on autopilot. And also sometimes just to check for any new stuff
I’ve got into a habit of watching porn I get a buzz from it. It’s gotten to the point I sometimes don’t feel myself at all, I just watch it get aroused then turn it off. It’s the porn I want not the feeling of climaxing as much anymore. I need to fully quit. It’s at the point now where not much else turns me on an gets me erect except porn.
I learned that I use porn to avoid tasks that I feel are too hard or too stressful to complete.

I watch it simply because I’m addicted
I think I realise it’s a habit I need to break when I get bored and or horny I go straight to porn. It feels good but I need to get that satisfaction irl
Need to stop looking for a quick satisfaction whenever I’m bored
Porn isn’t going to get me the connection and intimacy that I’m really craving. It’s a habit to relieve urges stat doesn’t really satisfy.

I realized I watch porn for very similar reasons to most people. To relieve stress, because I’m horny, or because I’m sad. I’m glad I’m doing this, its really helping my mental health

I’ve realized it’s more of a habit than something I actually need.

Well i have a porn blocker on my phone and laptops. I’ve committed to stopping so it’ll be difficult to have a porn journal. I’ll be able to log when I’m stressed and bored and stuff though.
I keep an urge journal to understand when I want to watch porn. Stress is the biggest factor it seems.

To reprogram my reactions to desire, boredom and anxiety, I should start journaling my motivations
Definitely use it as a coping mechanism. When there’s something I feel I should be doing but putting it off, I just go for a wank. Porn helps me to get there so much faster, feeling empty afterwards
Not going to lie, sometimes I watch porn specifically to look up guys who look like my ex to make up for the fact that we can no longer have sex. I feel guilty afterwards but sex with anyone else has been boring.

For me I just realize that it is auto pilot for me. Just something that I’m used to doing but now I’m committed to breaking step-by-step
I watch porn when I’m bored and I’m looking for a dopamine hit. I need to replace the habit of watching porn when I’m bored to something else.
I’ll watch the porn I’m into, masturbate, then have the worst post nut clarity ever. It makes me feel so so awful

I watch porn to help me get to sleep through masturbation or if I’m bored or stressed
