    It depends on my mental health. During certain periods, it’s every day. Other periods, nothing for a month or so. The worse my mental condition, the more I watch. Not that I pretend to know what the “real” or “correct” way to watch porn is, but I only ever use it as a coping mechanism. It helps me escape reality for a few minutes. Recently, I have begun trying to limit my consumption, because I don’t really want to escape reality. As of today, I haven’t watched anything for about two weeks.

      Same. If I’m at home trying to sleep I will genuinely have a panic attack without it. It’s the only thing that strongly occupies my attention enough to prevent a panic attack from setting in (that I can do while in bed)

      Anything else is not personally engaging enough to prevent my mind from wandering (like listening to music, browsing Lemmy, or reading)
