I think I use it as a distraction to numb myself when I feel low on dopamine and energy to do anything else… Even watch TV or something. Sadness, sexual frustration and boredom all contribute. General dissatisfaction with life. I’ve been off porn for two weeks and feel much better

I learned that my daily p*** use is more or less from boredom. I don’t even enjoy pouring that much
I used to watch porn to help with my masturbation and when I’m bored or stressed
I tended to use porn as a major crutch, for anxiety and horniness and all of it. Personally my life is way better without it
Beginning to think that my porn watching habits maybe me on auto pilot and going through the loop
I watch it to deal with emotions or when I’ve had a negative sexual situation and want to feel pleasure
I worry that porn is giving me unrealistic expectations about sex
I use porn for avoidance, stress relief, have sex when I couldn’t with my partner, and hornyness. I think I wanna cut it out. I’m down to once a week for a couple weeks, but mastrabated to porn this morning because I was stressed and disappointed I didn’t make a move and have sex this morning or last night.
Porn feels like a safety net away from the reality of having sex with a real person. I don’t have any of the anxiety that I get with an another human I front of me and I don’t have any of the hang ups of my body or performance. Adding to that it’s also a habit before bed that on reflection is never really truly satisfying these days.

Using porn on autopilot seems to be my issue, especially when I feel down or stressed. It is something I default to using. A porn log is a good idea, reinforcing a pause before I react.

Definitely autopilot - masturbation and porn for me have gone together for decades. Some great tips to find other methods when horny, stressed etc

What I have learned is I watch for the most part is cause I am bored and have nothing else to do

I think for me I’ve found that since I have struggled with erection issues or not being able to finish during sex, porn has become a source of reliable cumming and therefore is associated with feelings of enjoyment and relief,
I tend to watch porn when I am bored or avoiding important things to do. This has become a habit.
Secondly, for the core reason why most of us are… I’ve been struggling to have sex with my partner, therefore porn is an easy cum.

Im ready to change my habits
When I get really sad, I binge watch porn and sometimes I don’t even want to but I just do it to feel something different. I feel bad after. I feel shameful of myself that I wast so much time and because of this I won’t get it up next time.
Breaking formed habits around porn use.
Over the past few months I’ve done a lot of thinking about my porn use. In short, I realised that my wanking and porn use had become habit and I wasn’t getting the same high that I once did. I also found that I was using it a lot of time just because I had a few minutes spare and I could.
The strange thing is that I came to this conclusion because I was spending a really long time looking for a video that interested me, they all seem to be the same now. It’s all tiny women just getting pummelled by huge blokes.
I’m turning away from porn now and focussing on more intimate times with my partner.

I never thought of porn as a habit I always saw it as an addiction, the longest I stopped was 30 day but relapsed.
