So I’m in a journey of supporting my SO, but because I was dumb and curious, I decided to look at porn. Not a lot, but just a little. It was a bad decision because, although I don’t think I’m addicted, I’ve been having urges to look at porn. I haven’t been mastribating or anything. I think it is mostly still my curious side is still extremely curious. What should I do? Is it safe to watch as long as it isn’t for my pleasure? My brain is trying to justify it because it says that it’s not bad because I’m not addicted, is it still bad? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
That is exactly how you get addicted. Resist the urge. Fill your time with other things. Figure out why it is so alluring to you. @Castielle
There is no harm in watching porn,but excess of everything is bad. Try to keep yourself busy in positive way. It will need few counseling session to get you out of it. Better if you maintain time gap of atleast 1 month. More than this is more beneficial to you. Just CONTROL your mind and STAY FOCUSED on your GOAL. I think it would be better to count down the days so that you can control yourself in a challenging way.

Can confirm. This is exactly how I got here. Here meaning, on a porn addiction website for around 5 years or so and still struggling weekly with relapses and urges. STOP looking, NOW! And don't listen to the person above me who says there is no harm in looking at porn. There is always harm in it, ESPECIALLY when you're in a relationship.
