Mine is porn addiction. I don’t ever want to become a coomer but I think I’ve became that already a few times in my life. I shamefully have watched porn, saved porn images and visualized people who’re probably not as into porn as I was.

I really do wish to be done with porn, it’s done nothing for me. I’ve masturbated for many years and I feel like it has hollowed out my mind. I don’t even get that much enjoyment from masturbating as much and the porn hasn’t really gotten any better so I guess I can say that I’ve seen porn when it was at its best when I was younger and everything.

Now all of it is just loli shit, artificial shit and that’s gross or the fetishes have gotten too niche and unappealing. I look around me in porn communities and I haven’t found anyone worthwhile to speak to or associate with. Everyone is six feet under in porn that there’s no way for them out.

    i’m dealing with a porn/masturbation addiction too, personally…i just kind of came to terms with the fact that i like porn, it allows you to explore fetishes that you otherwise wouldn’t be able to (legally/ethically) irl.

    but now i make a conscious choice to goon, not as some automatic general response to stress (as most behavioral addictions tend to be). and of course, gooning is no replacement for actual irl human sexual/social interaction.

    i also found that alot of it was the result of death-grip syndrome, getting basic toy allowed sensitivity to return to the point where i could get off from a quick 5m jerk sesh instead of some hours long rabbithole of trying to find something debauched enough to get me off
