    I have higher levels of anxiety, and I somehow decide to use porn and masterbation to release stress. Also my sex drive is higher, so I think in general I masterbate more when I have a lot of things to do. Any tips on how to cut this down and deal with stress in other ways?

    Yeah I agree with Mark, you're anxiety is probably a cause of excess porn usage. It's like smoking. When you smoke you feel good, and as time goes by you start to get anxious and crave for cigarettes.

    I'm just speaking from my experience from the last week, My anxiety has gone down since I stopped using. It's a matter of fighting those cravings. Once you get through a craving the rest of the time is actually a lot better.

    Maybe you can locate something else to give you a break from your anxiety? Hitting baseballs, going for a run, working on a model plane?
