I recently stopped watching porn after doing some reading on proletarian/marxist feminism. This article in particular was really good imo: https://proletarianfeminist.medium.com/a-socialist-feminist-and-transgender-analysis-of-sex-work-b08aaf1ee4ab

I was wondering if anyone else is in a similar boat? Porn is a powerful drug and it can be really difficult to give it up if you’re addicted (which I am unfortunately). Is anyone willing to share their porn-free journey and give some advice and tips?

    I’d have to think on it. I have similar feelings, and I know others who have expressed the same thoughts.

    Personally I have come to accept it is what it is. I’m not sure if my fetishes are as strong, they definitely have become a default, but I do revert to normal stuff time to time.

    Journaling, I find, helps me to understand why I am turned on by these odd and grotesque fetishes. So far, I think the very grotesqueness of the fetish is a turn on. The fact I’m repulsed by it is the turn on. I know it sounds contradictory, but that is the best I can put it.
