Was curious what the consensus was on masturbating without looking at porn, but rather mental imagery of your partner OR actual “porn” of you and your partner (nudes/videos/etc.). Is this unhealthy? Would this break my streak? 🤔
Personally, part of my issue is porn combined with masturbation. I’ve done it to the point that sex takes about 1-2 minutes max, because I can usually masturbate in that time. I’m quitting it all and sticking to intercourse only. As far as it “breaking your streak,” it depends on the goals you have set for yourself. If your goal is to simply quit consuming pornography and you have the self control to masturbate without using porn, it doesn’t sound like it would be “breaking your streak.” I would shy away from any physical media and instead focus on mental imagery… but again, it’s your journey.

I think if I made a habit out of masturbating without porn it would just lead me back to using porn again. Intercourse only for me.
