No doubt I use it mostly to mask loneliness and negative feelings. The longer I go without a partner the less inclined I am to stop using porn to cope…
I masturbare during working hours as a break and a quick fun relief. It’s clear to me now it has become a habit of wanting to feel an orgasm… and now it’s desensitizing my sexual self.

Porn has become a bit of a routine for me, usually when I wake up or go to bed - I’m conscious that I’m doing it but it feels like autopilot

I was addicted and would use porn as a way to distract myself from stress or even as a way of procrastinating. I’ve now gone over 2 months not watching porn. I feel good.

This resonates. It was worse and I’ve managed to stop some triggers that distracted me during the day. But this is still an area where it feels a bit like it’s too easy/habitual rather than actually purposeful and enjoyable
Porn in the morning before work is auto pilot. Cum then start the day.
I used porn to pass time when im bored or to distract myself from feeling sad
Same
I reach for porn predominantly as a way to escape / procrastinate - very rarely they actually use it when I’m horny. It is more a boredom thing for me.
I have realized I watch porn on auto pilot. Whenever I get slightly bored !
Procrasturbation is definitely a thing

I watched porn growing up thinking it was just a normal thing people do. I know my friends, my brother watched it. I also was with partners that thought it was normal so I didn’t think twice about it. It wasn’t until I was in a long term relationship when my ex asked me to stop watching porn entirely. I said I would and I genuinely meant it but it was much more difficult than I thought. I didn’t know enough at the time so I just tried cold turkey but would relapse hard. I was ashamed about failing and didn’t say anything to her. One night while I was sleeping, she went through my phone and saw I was still watching. She felt betrayed and also disgusted at me. Said I was pathetic and disgusting and a porn addict and that I wasn’t who she thought I was. She wanted to me to tell her every time I had a sexual thought or watched porn. After that I tried really hard to stop but I was so ashamed of myself that it was still difficult to communicate. As revenge she cheated on me by having sex with someone else. I was devastated but overall blamed myself due to my dishonesty and use of porn. We decided to try and move past it but then I turned to porn as a way to feel some control over what happened. We eventually broke up and since then I have connected sex and porn to shame and disgust towards myself and I’m really trying to forgive myself.

I definitely watch porn out of habit. But that habit was formed out of being stressed and feeling bad, and sometimes being bored.
Porn just tends to occupy my mind fully in a way that other things don’t. I can just look at things endlessly, and basically the way I do it is just flip through various images or videos to find the perfect one I want to cum to. It’s kind of anxiety driven…like “which is the right one?” and I constantly go back and forth and change my mind.
It’s a distraction and it has a clear goal and end. Sometimes I also masturbate with porn just to get rid of horniness. If I’m not having sex a lot with my partner and don’t have other partners at the time, I’ll just masturbate to scratch that itch and stop thinking horny thoughts.

Porn is a good tool but it should
not be used as a copying mechanism
I understand I do it as a way to escape my own head and stress and mental health.
Sometimes I do it to hep me sleep

I need to log when I feel the urge. I also need to remind myself that I don’t have to act on this impulse. Porn is a way for feminists to keep men single.
