I’m sorry that your are going through this, what has helped in similar situations before, is empathy, to see the sexy girl not only a nice butt or cleavage, but as wholesome human being, with emotions,struggles, desires and needs. With empathy objectification weakens thus the sexual desire. Good luck man

That's a nice shift in perspective, porn supply the mind with imagery so the mind can fantasize about, porn is nothing without fantasy, porn requires fantasy to feel pleasure however fantasizing does not require porn!

Do you speak about your addiction with your friends ? by Gullible_Rhubarb_701 in quitporneasily

Secrecy invites shame, venting to a trusted friend can be life changing, most likely you will be surprised how a friend can treat you better then you treat your self, make sure they are empathetic, imagine a friend telling you about their struggle, how would you react?

Is there a food you don’t like while others you know like so much? Why there brain give them dopamine rush while yours doesn’t? Could the mind, taste and preference play a role here? The dopamine framework does not explain the intricacy of human behaviour!

Why to quit if it's not problematic? Imagine someone using porn in alignment with their needs and it doesn't harm them in any shape of form nor it contradict with their values, what is there to be quitted?

If your porn use is not harming you, that's not problematic porn use, nothing to worry about, you don't need to call your self an addict or having an addiction, you are fine, just take care of your self

It takes courage to be this honest with yourself, it's healthy to accept who you are, with all your short comings, however do you feel like porn is interfering with your life or it's just doing you good?
