Pretty much the title of the post. I started watching porn at a very young age (12 I think) and stuck with it for 13 years. Without retelling my entire life story, porn is the only sexual outlet I have.
I wanted to quit for a while now due to ethical (I don’t think I have to elaborate how fucked up the porn industry is to anyone here) and psychological reasons but so far it always ends in me quitting for a few days and then returning.
I want to stop, I can’t call myself a communist while engaging with something that is so vile and opposed to communist principles but I don’t know how to change my habits in a way that allows me to permanently quit and satisfy my urges in a different way.
I think the problem more than anything is the porn itself rather than the sexual urges and feelings that we all feel(nearly all, some asexuals to varying degrees don’t feel the need to relieve themselves in that way) sorry if it sounds like TMI, but I don’t think masturbation is explicitly a bad thing to do. If you can find any other outlets that are more ethical I’d see that as a major improvement. It sounds nerdy but like erotic books and stuff like that don’t rely on exploited labor of porn actors that are coerced into making movies. I’m not personally interested in drawings or stuff of that sort but there’s no denying that it causes less of an impact on people’s mental health and self esteem. And tbh you can draw whatever you like by yourself. Idk sorry if this comment was weird I don’t talk about this subject much but I wish you good luck on your journey towards self-improvement!!❤️
