Officially bored of porn

Hi all,

This thread is not so much about actually being “bored” in a mood sense, but rather a sense of completely finished with it’s grappling existence.

I’ve come to the realisation that porn is porn is boring. Why? There’s many reasons, but I’m pretty much finished with consuming or embracing it’s existence. To be truly bored means to truly disrespect it’s existence. You need to be “bored” to hate it.

My reasons are the following:

1. I’ve consumed porn for pretty my life from puberty until now (I’m 25). I’ve spent more than half my life consuming it and for what benefit? For self-serving pleasure? Feeding addiction? Giving myself the conditions for erectile issues? This realisation certainly would make one hate themselves, as depressing as it seems, but to think that whole time I was trying to find something to keep me from being bored. That’s all it was there for then.

2. The years of viewing porn taught me a lot; mostly negative. The fact I had to use something artificial to facilitate my sexual desires seems rather absurd now that I think about it.

3. The consumption of porn invoked a heady level of fear, increased my anxiety and also invoked false delusions attributed to stimulating my OCD illness. I started to belief I might be trans, attracted to trans, attracted to men, attracted to fake sexual stimuli. All these intrusive beliefs were false and nothing more than allowing myself to flow through the rabbit hole of porn culture and genres. This fake, unhealthy delusions and feelings don’t represent me, so I am bored of allowing myself to feel that way.

4. The porn industry is intrinsically built on exploitation, of all men, women, children of all races, creeds and identities. How can I consume something so trivial that allows this objectifying culture to exist and hinder human relationships? Consuming it only feeds the beast. I’ve learnt in the past year how demented such an industry is (especially with the news about Pornhub’s non-consensual uploads, absurd genres etc etc) and its spread is far from escapable online. I’m bored of the exploitation of mankind for sexual gratification and unnatural behaviour.

5. I’m bored of it’s normalisation. Never a day goes by where I don’t hear the “P” word. I hear it everyday. Online, through friends and through other mediums. I believe we’ve reached a point of a level of permissive culture that’s gone too far. I understand people are free to embrace sexuality, but there needs to be a limit. I am bored of porn’s impact on society and culture.

7. There’s more to life then watching porn all. Hobbies galore await everyone, ands it’s way more worthwhile then watching porn. Hobbies are “in” and porn is boring. Im bored of not having a real hobby.

6. I now understand the root cause of my problem with porn and I’m now officially bored of myself blaming the world or others. I know it might seem slightly hypocritical to what I’ve mentioned above, but to be truly free from this awful vice, you need to let your anger out, move on and never look back at those depressing moments that cause you to feel like blaming others. I feel like letting it all out now because there’s no better time to force out the negative feelings. Start by accepting porn is boring and now embrace your new life free from consuming it and keep up the fight.

Begin being INTERESTED in life, begin being BORED of porn.


This realisation of me ending my relationship with porn is something I don’t want to look back on. It’s something I need to forget. I wish to help others in ways I’ve helped myself, and that way is making myself bored of porn. Whilst some of you think that this maybe be impossible, I’ve learnt that reboot after reboot, I’ve never been truly interested in it, it’s never been something I’ve truly enjoyed. This realisation comes at a time when I’ve been trying countlessly to figure out my attachment to porn and the addiction itself I hope this helps some people out there.
