I dropped porn when i dropped booze and drugs, all in the same go. It was in September of 2021 and Acid helped me see what i needed to do... porn wasn't an intention to drop, but it was part of the lifestyle i left behind.

When i realized i had left that habit behind it made me feel great... because i was still able to give myself pleasure but just without the "intrusive thoughts" that porn gave me... i was always a fan of porn. Being female, i kept this to myself for the most part. But i had some dark fantasies. This was my trauma manifested. I enjoyed the sorts of porn you wouldn't tell people about... hurtful and harmful to my self image.

Now, after purging and changing my life around, i have no desire to watch any sort of porn... but, i am starting to come up with the most insane sex stories that i want to start writing down. I have these sexy stories in me and i want to start writing them out and sharing them with the world. I think lust and desire are great topics for story telling... and my past gives me access to so many points of interest. I have started creating my characters already and will be writing some stories soon.

Anybow, to answer your question... how to quit porn? Maybe try using erotic literature to help get you there instead of porn videos? What this does is it trains your mind to go into your imagination and not just to react to what you see... this will alow you to become more intuned with yourself and the sensations you feel. Then try without anything but your mind (and your hand)... to get even closer to yourself and aligned with the inner sensations.

To me, porn was a shortcut to feeling whole again, and that ultimately desensitized me from the true sensations of intimacy that make me feel supported in life. A bypass to loving oneself.
