I have reduced to almost zero since 2018... I have never been happier and "lighter". Protect your mind, it is a fragile thing, I now have more pleasure watching a beautiful woman walking down the street than watching some youporn clip.
Depends on definition of porn, I've seen more shit nowadays on YouTube that I would have considered porn a decade ago.
And don't even talk about TV, in the rush to be more 'diverse and inclusive' it's gotten even worse than YouTube which is why I don't watch it, at least YouTube's algorithm mostly gives me gaming, online comic/manga dubs and my kind of political analysis.
Goddamn that was quick to judge! I'm a guy that prefers written online content because the standard 'I'm here to deliver a pizza, extra sausage' is dull.
Plus it's a lot less likely to result in exploitation compared to actual people and thar feels like some ntr stuff at the end of the day.
Used to watch it a lot when I was younger. It is a struggle especially being single but I try not to watch anymore. I fail at times but I intend to never watch
Fr fr. No, I'm not addicted in the least. Porn causes as much addiction as videogames causes gun violence. If a person has that kind of personality, it could be whatever instead. It's looking at it from the wrong end.
It's not an addiction if your life doesn't revolve around it. I can easily stop using the bathroom and shit in the woods if I wanted to, but I don't because the bathroom makes this bodily function much quicker and cleaner so I can get on with my life.
Porn makes it easier to release sexual tension. Addiction to that sexual tension can be a problem, much like we see with the IRL degenerates of the world, but I consider periodically releasing that tension in 5 minutes and moving on to be healthy.
Of course, which I can do and have done. But you're going to call bullshit on it anyway because I have no way of proving it. So this was just pointless posturing and virtue-signalling on your part. Good luck with that.
Usually, once a day before I go to bed. I've done no porn before for a full year (including no jerking off either) and honestly, it made no difference. When you're single and not looking you might as well just jerk off and watch porn. If you're out and about looking for women, I'd recommend against it just because the sex is better when you don't jerk off so much. When I was jerking off daily and still fucking women in one-night-stands, I'd have to drop cialis to get hard even for the hottest of chicks because I was just so numb to any feeling both emotionally and physically that I could barely stay hard or get any enjoyment out of it. That's less to do with porn though and more to do with just the superficiality of one-night stands. The whole dating environment was just too emotionally void of anything good that I stopped dating and going out to find women altogether. I haven't bothered for almost 2 years now. Porn and jerking off makes 0 difference if you aren't out trying to find women.
Actual people? Rarely if at all. Drawn or animated? More so. Ages ago I swore off of real porn for the most part, too much baggage with it(human trafficking, destruction of self worth for me etc). Knowing about all the issues with it made me less interested in it over time.
I have times where for weeks or even months I have 0 interest in the topic(my own personal NNN), then I have short bursts of multiple times a week. I feel very in control of it, if I don't want to I got other stuff to occupy myself with.
I decided to quit in January last year. The first steps were difficult and I relapsed a few times after that, but I've managed to be completely porn-free since May.
I used to watch mostly softcore amateur porn on r***it. The never-ending content from millions of women whoring themselves out was dangerous and addictive. There are subforums dedicated probably to every single body detail -- it's relatively easy to discover your favourite body type and the traits that turn you on... and then, it's VERY difficult to stop scrolling and never come back. It's always "just one more photo".
Ever since I ditched it, I feel better, my hairline stopped receding and my male traits actually seem much stronger -- for instance, my jaw feels wider than before. The temptation is still there, but resisting it feels easier every week. I don't have the urge anymore. I hope I won with the addiction.
Stopped for years, then got back into it recently. Once you start, it really sucks you in and it's hard to get out of it again. It doesn't help that literally anything past puberty is whoring it all out.
I'm definitely planning on going back off of it, starting now. But yeah, it's an easy habit to make, and very hard to break. And it never really goes away. You can go months, or even years without it, and then boom, one day in 20 minutes you're 100% back into your old habits as if it was second nature.
I'm the same. I can't seem to ever leave it behind despite ebbs and flows. I dislike the amount of "normalized" porn that's everywhere. It's insane the level of porn you see just walking around.
Dick pics and occasional cum shot, mebbe once a day for 5 minutes for educational purposes. Imma writer and looking for the correct models for characters is killing me. Been years since I saw someone that wasn't a degenerate whore and didn't fit the character personality/physical description in my head. Feels like a casting director more than writer sometimes.
Depends on your definition. Is a picture of boobs porn to you? Is anime like ecchi anime porn to you? Talking about softcore pornography here. If softcore is included then probaby every second day at least, in some form. I really enjoy looking at pretty women, even if it's just dressed. It does give me more motivation to live sometimes.
If we're just talking hardcore pornography and that includes any materials depicting or describing sex, including video pornography, doujinshi and other written/drawn material then probably anywhere from 1-6 times per month.
I've gone longer periods of time without porn and even fapping entirely but it never brought about a meaningful change, though I can see how frequent consumption affects my behavior a lot. And by longer I mean anything from 6-9 months.
Over time it decreased for me, even though my testosterone has definitely increased. Porn browsing and consumption used to be a bigger part of my life but it's just a waste of time now. I know my triggers and tastes and if I want to get off well or hard, what I need to do. I grew up with this (started around 13, am 27 now). Most of the time I just want to do something else
Mostly high quality 3d porn and mostly hentai. Real porn, not so much these days. Maybe some minidva or coomerz for amature. And blanch bradburry or abigaile johnson for pro.
I produce written, drawn and 3D rendered porn, so to some degree, I'm looking at porn almost all day, every day. But it's not really the same, as almost anything I look at, I'm evaluating as potentially useful reference material to my own work.
Speak for yourself. Nobody knows any of my fetishes save for maybe a spook or two, plus my GF (no sex before marriage relationship). I own zero sex objects, and sex-based marketing doesn't work on me. My house is clean. Some of my relatives even think I'm asexual.
The last time I tried a no-fap marathon was the horniest I have ever been in my life. I couldn't stop thinking about sex. I even downloaded a fucking gacha game (since purged from my pc). I gave it up after over a month.
We are instinctual creatures with needs. Getting it out of your system in a controlled environment gives you control. Like vidia, you just have to not get addicted.

Thank you for the comment. I need to protect my brain better

Idk man. How often do you watch porn? Not just an ad or something.
Never with videos, once in a while with written stories, have a good imagination so don't need it.
Are you a man?
Goddamn that was quick to judge! I'm a guy that prefers written online content because the standard 'I'm here to deliver a pizza, extra sausage' is dull.
Plus it's a lot less likely to result in exploitation compared to actual people and thar feels like some ntr stuff at the end of the day.
Did that guy who posted all those wholesome videos to pornhub ever do a "I actually fix the cable" video?
Ya I judge lol. Thanks for sharing.
Used to watch it a lot when I was younger. It is a struggle especially being single but I try not to watch anymore. I fail at times but I intend to never watch
Cheers my bro. I'm in the same boat. New year resolution this year.
Good luck. It can be very tempting. Plus for me as a Christian I feel very guilty telling someone about the Lord while struggling with that
My new years resolution is never again
Good man. Next step, don't touch yourself. Only blow your load with a woman.
I've stop watching porn more then half a year ago. Before that, maybe 3-4 times a week.
Everyday. Not so much watch as read though.
Fr? Do you feel addicted?
Fr fr. No, I'm not addicted in the least. Porn causes as much addiction as videogames causes gun violence. If a person has that kind of personality, it could be whatever instead. It's looking at it from the wrong end.
It's the go to false equivalence on this site to avoid having to think about the problems with what they like
It's not an addiction if your life doesn't revolve around it. I can easily stop using the bathroom and shit in the woods if I wanted to, but I don't because the bathroom makes this bodily function much quicker and cleaner so I can get on with my life.
Not exactly. In my experience porn has many negatives and yet has a mental dependency component.
Porn makes it easier to release sexual tension. Addiction to that sexual tension can be a problem, much like we see with the IRL degenerates of the world, but I consider periodically releasing that tension in 5 minutes and moving on to be healthy.

You dumb fucks really love repeating this
The first step in not being a degenerate is not bringing up your sexual habits with strangers.

You're name is FutaCumDiet, it seemed like a good conversation starter!
At least let me get caffeinated first.
I laughed.

Never, but I'm a woman. I refuse to support such a degenerate industry regardless. I have no interest in romance novels either, they are all garbage.
Honestly it perplexes me how anyone would find it appealing, but at least it’s just a drawing.
This. I don't pay for porn and free porn is filled with human trafficking and rape. Drawn porn for degenerates by degenerates is the way to go.
Actual people? Rarely if at all. Drawn or animated? More so. Ages ago I swore off of real porn for the most part, too much baggage with it(human trafficking, destruction of self worth for me etc). Knowing about all the issues with it made me less interested in it over time.

More than I should.
There's a long story here, but my wife was a pornstar. She knows websites and stuff when we are being intimate.
How do I count that?
I'll keep that in mind.
It varies. I'll often go a month or three at a time with none, but then fall back into bad habits for a couple weeks.
"Watch"?
😂😃😉
Yes

Idk it sounds like you like hentai too much haha. Jk but ya I would include that as porn as well.
You're not wrong!

frequently. It keeps me from being a degenerate in the rest of my life.

Yes. And that degeneracy only exists online and in my head. It's nobody's problem but mine.
I don't. As much as I defend it, I find the idea of making women slightly richer abhorrent if I can avoid it.
a based take indeed.
