Porn is bad, Porn has rotted my brain and I need advice

I've been watching porn since the last five or six years. I want to tell how it has affected me in this post. Everyone in my friend circle watches it. I don't remember the last time when I masturbated without porn. I won't say that porn has been a big addiction for me but I can surely say that I have become sexually dependent on it.

Recently, I have been noticing that whenever I see a woman I think about her breasts and genitals. My first glance moves towards their chests. Although I know that its immoral and I should not see any female as a sexual object but I can't help.

Hello. I'm 22F and have been watching porn for way too many years, I don't even remember when it started. Last year it started escalating into weird shit, I started looking through the teen categories, even DDLG a few times, and the turning point for me was when I discovered what porn escalation is & how it works. I stopped watching for a while but also developed POCD, I started worrying that I'm actually a pedophile in denial, that I'll end up watching CP and I'll like it, etc. It's gotten slightly better and I can say with certainty that I know I'm not and have never been attracted to children but it definitely messed me up for a while.

Anyway, I only made the conscious decision to quit porn 3 weeks ago, I don't have a hard time abstaining so far tbh, but I still have those intrusive thoughts sometimes. And I'm worried that those,,, idk preferences or kinks won't go away. Am I irreversibly fucked up or is there hope for me? Any kind of advice is welcome.

This tendency is also prevalent, somewhat more in my friends. They sometimes joke that women in porn are way more attractive than the women of our ethnicity. Porn has changed my taste to some extent too. Although I notice their breasts but don't point out to my friends but they always point out hot girls to me. I don't want to think about a fellow human that way but my mentality has been damaged by porn. I must change this way of thinking and quit porn eventually. Any tips?

You can use this self awareness to propel you. You can be better. Ask yourself what kind of person do you want to be. Being hooked on porn doesn’t make you bad. However, it makes you an addict. Addiction rarely stays steady. It generally gets worse. Its claws hold you tighter and tighter. Things get worse.

You say you want to quit eventually. Do you think quitting will get easier if you wait? The addiction will keep getting stronger. Promise.
