⚠️TW: PORN⚠️ someone please give me tips on stopping to watch porn. it makes my intrusive thoughts worse and also makes me insecure about my body🥲

Let's break this down into steps first. 1. Think about why you truly want to stop watching porn. How does it make you feel? Why do you do it? What do you get out of it? Do you feel like you're coping with the use of porn to get away from feelings, problems, or worries? Are you addicted? See if you can answer these questions. You don't have to answer all of them of course. 2. When you decide that you truly want to stop watching porn, get rid of everything. Delete any kind of porn you may have saved. Block all of the porn that can be accessed online, unfollow any accounts that might hint at sexual activity, and beware of the things that can trigger you. For me, I use blockerx to stop myself from watching hardcore porn. I'm still struggling with using youtube as softcore porn occasionally but I'm trying to stop that as well. Fortunately I did fix some of the problem so it's a step in the right direction. Porn has also made my OCD worse and pretty much makes me regret the choices I made back in my teen years because of the influence porn had on me at the time. I did not know better, and I was not aware of my sexual feelings or how to explore them. I had to mess up in order to acknowledge what I did and did not want throughout my life sexually. As of now, I don't want to have anything to do with sexual activity to be honest. But, it may be different for you. You say that it makes you insecure about your body and your intrusive thoughts worse. This is both a really good thing and a bad thing. You realize the affect that the drug that is pornography has on you. Not only has it affected your dopamine levels but it has also affected your self image, self esteem, and how you view yourself overall. It may even be affecting how you view other people. This has happened to me and a lot of other people as well. Please note these things: You are NOT a bad person for watching porn. You're NOT a bad person for struggling to quit. You're NOT a bad person for being exposed or hooked on the erotica as a whole. It's good that you want to stop or at least acknowledge that you want to stop watching porn. I know it's extremely tough with this quarantine thing going on, but honestly were all in this together. All of us. We all care about your problems here and we want what's best for you.

I wish you the best.

Most of the times I tried pushing my thoughts away but I’ve failed 6 times and now it made my OCD worse more intrusive thoughts more anxiety and it’s convincing me that I’m somthing I’m not and it’s my fault I feel horrible about it I hate how I listen to those thoughts that put me down it’s just hell

What do you think when you watching porn?

Ok.. Then stop watching porn.But I believe that this is not gonna help you a lot because your thoughts can pop in your brain whenever THEY WANT!! So , all you have to do is to accept that.. realize your fear, your thoughts, realize when you start to ruminate, what do you feel when ruminate...Write them in a piece o paper and then , try to read them loudly...everyday do that!

I was an addict too, I was suffering too but I was never give up to this little monster!!! AND YOU HAVE TO KNOW THAT DURING THIS TIME WITH THE SECOND QUARANTINE, ANYONE OF US HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING.. realize that OCD is a mental disease that has ups and downs, but when you're getting bored, you have more time to think, you have more time to ruminate and that means that your OCD , It's a waste of time
