Not really sure what to do

I don’t really feel bad about watching porn anymore, I just try not to so I can be more social (confidence boost) at times but I’m a very introverted person, and I don’t see porn as like a “real” thing like I’ve never translated what I see in porn into real life so I don’t really see a reason to stop? I would like to I just can’t find a good reason given my circumstances. I have cptsd+ocd+adhd+asd (i know “damn nigga you cooked”), I’m pretty sure I use it as a coping mechanism for trauma I really don’t talk to many people, I have a girlfriend and we have sex regularly and I have 0 problems performing, does anybody have advice?

What luke said. If you’re not doing this gor anyone but yourself, then you’re doing it for control. Take control back of this part of your life, and maybe you can use what you learned here for the rest of your life!!

Lots of people can a healthy relationship with porn. I am here because I now I spend too much time on it in the past and for me I eventually turn my addiction of porn into an addict with can sites and OF models so started spending money on it to. And the truth is I enjoy it I still would enjoy doing it the money I can afford the time I can’t back but for me I dont regret it so I understand the conflict you have with in yourself. But you are here so your body is telling you to brake this cycle and that a good thing for me the realisation was the time or money spent and my relationship with my wife has never been effected by my addiction my realisation was that when ever I try to stop I always end up relapsing I never had control of it my addiction has control over me and that why I know it has got to change. For some people they can control it they can choose to say no when I started I used to be able to do that but it spiralled for me and now that why I am here now is the time for that change

Everyone’s different, with their own motivations and reasons for wanting to quit. A lot of people here are motivated by faith, which doesn’t resonate with me I watched porn daily until a couple days ago. When i was sexually active i stopped watching porn entirely, but i was also sexually active every day, which means it was essentially just the same thing. It’s bad for your mental health to rely on a quick dopamine hit from a climax to relax or sleep like i’ve been doing. I also don’t have any real reasons for quitting porn!! I can’t think of anything to put in that “reasons for quitting” category. But the past two days i’ve been fighting the urge to masturbate before bed with some breathing exercises. I think the acknowledgment that it’s bad for your health is enough for me. And it’s enough to have your reason for quitting being just that you want to. I have other vices aside from porn. I think if you’re struggling with anything considering commitment, dedication, or kicking an addiction (which takes both lol) then quitting porn is a simple way to start. It’s something you can stop doing and practice self control. I’ve been vaping since i was 15, i’m 19 now. If i can complete 90 days with no porn, i will try to put down the geek bar. I hope this journey gives you some of the same benefits as well
