I try to live fantasies because I could not have sex with girls like that in real life and now they are more accessible. I feel bad after because I want to make things right in the bedroom
I think the guilt and shame I feel after solo masturbating (especially with porn) is a negative reaction my brain is used to. Many of my sexually active friends masturbate to porn, and they do not have erection issues. I think it is all a mind game. Once you are free from your mind, you can do anything you want. Overthinking is being left in 2024! This year will be full of great sex, success, and happiness:)

I watched it a bit before the pandemic but I was much more outwardly looking for actual sex. Between lockdowns and way too much work, it definitely became a strange habit. One I never had before. I want to completely quit…
More so a reminder of what I already knew but have slowly slipped away from.
I don’t want porn for stress relieving or surprising negative emotions. I just watch it when I am horny and want to masturbate, or when I have nothing else to do!

Boredom
I watch because of fantasies that don’t translate to reality
Fantasies are a part of it for sure. Elevating arousal is another. I try to watch just a little porn so that when I do it feels better.
I’d like Mojo to include the topic of virtual girlfriend. I have tried that and it’s quite plesant. Only audio. Is that considered porn as well? Technically I know it is, but how much of an impact can it have compared to video porn?
Sounds like boredom to some degree
I knew before that I was using porn as a response to negative feelings and stress. Now it is just about controlling it.
Definitely when stressed, but better than before when it was a function of depression. I’ve noticed I like it though when im horny and thinking of potential sexual partners
Often I have so much energy at night and feel like masturbating is the only way I can fall asleep, and while I try to without porn, often because it’s available so easily it just becomes a go-to

Yep, stress in general gets me to look for a quick cum

Paying mind to the things raised here, boredom is definitely when I turn to porn, more so than when I am horny.
I definitely turn to porn when I’m dissatisfied and frustrated with my sex life. When I can’t find partners I vibe with sexually I feel the need to turn to porn to have my desires fulfilled. It alleviates the sadness and loneliness of not being able to find people to date who are right for me. Loneliness, stress, depression, and inability to express and relieve myself sexually IRL are all the main factors for me turning to porn.
I definitely use it to avoid work stress, which only compounds the problem, especially working from home!
Im probably a combination of multiple things. Work stress is definitely a factor, but so is being bored.
See what my triggers are. Lets look introspectively
I learned that my triggers for wanting to watch porn sometimes comes down to anxiety and it’s a coping mechanism. I’d like to move away from watching porn altogether and have my sexual needs met with my partner.

My porn addiction is just habit not necessarily an addiction to pornography
