Limiting Porn Intake: Why and How

The podcast episode discusses the importance of limiting porn intake and provides strategies for doing so. The first key point is to have specific reasons for wanting to limit porn, such as the negative impact on one's sex life, desensitization, and false expectations. By writing down these reasons, individuals can create a clear reminder of why they should reduce their porn consumption. The second point emphasizes giving oneself permission to watch porn, but with limited access. By setting specific days for watching porn and dedicating the rest of the time to mindful masturbation, individuals can regain control and reduce the guilt associated with porn consumption. The third point highlights the importance of prioritizing mindful masturbation. By distinguishing between porn and masturbation, individuals can focus on mindful self-exploration, experimentation, and learning about their own bodies and desires. By adding points of friction to accessing porn, such as using blockers and setting rules, individuals can decrease the reliance on porn and enhance their sexual experiences.
