Being bored or stressed and using it as a coping mechanism, and seeing that those that wanted to reduce watching porn did it for one or both reasons, really resonated.
Honestly, I still don’t know why I watch porn. It is a way to get me to escape the world for a bit, I suppose
I am on autopilot. Doing other activities, as recommended, would alleviate the boredom, stress, and problems better than porn can.
I could be turning to porn to satisfy feelings that don’t necessarily need porn to address them
I think because I’ve been watching it so long it just became a habit. Then add in the daily stresses of life, and it becomes a way of life that I am currently trying to work on.
Mostly watch when I’m bored. I watched too much so I even know the plot what are they going to do next. Even a new porn movie that I never watched
I watch it when I’m bored or feeling down about myself or something else
I watch porn to stop feeling any negative emotions. I’d say mostly related to anxiety
I watch porn really for the sake of releasing stress
I do it for boredom. I can fill that space with other things.
Stress. Boredom. Quick cum
Handling Stress in life and dopamine kick
I often default to porn when my relationship with my wife isn’t great, which creates this spiral of “you’re not doing this for me.” I think if I cope in other ways, it’ll be healthier for our relationship.
Nowadays, I primarily watch porn after nights out, specifically if I have taken party drugs
Before I turn to porn and masturbation, take a step back and understand what I am feeling in that moment
I use porn to relieve stress, beat boredom or for relieving any pent up sexual energy when I’m by myself. I need a better way to channel those emotions or feelings instead of using porn to confuse myself into achieving satisfaction and relief
I’ve an unhealthy habit of rubbing my dick in bed before I sleep which makes me hard and I feel an urge to watch porn and masturbate or even just feel a bit relaxed after going through some porn clips
With porn I can have the sex I want when I want it.
It’s mostly for things I know I wont ever do in real life. That isnt necessarily saying id love some of those ideas, some of them may be a bit intense, but it’s the idea of them. So it feels like a way to explore things I never will in real life while also being happy with my current sex life
I use it to edge a ton unfortunately. I also love soft core porn (insta models, hot hinge profiles, etc) since it feels like I’m not watching it when I really am
