if you feel like you’re some type of “addicted” or “dependent” to the extent that it’s interfering with other areas of your life, the first step is to pay close attention to what kinds of circumstances set off your urge to consume it. you’re gonna want to identify what function porn is serving in your life so you can figure out other healthier ways to get the same need met

like, maybe you just reflexively turn to porn as stress-relief, maybe you’re using it as a distraction, maybe you’re neurodivergent and understimulated in daily life also fwiw a lot of people who feel pressured into “quitting porn” aren’t actually totally addicted, it’s not necessary to go “cold turkey”, they just need to work on impulse control, unlearn self-loathing or put conscious restrictions in place around what content they look at
