My triggers are half naked pictures, porn star names, sexual words use in porn. It also triggers me when I talked to a hot woman.
I feel like everything is a trigger. I watch a ton of movies and there are often many triggers in them. I also have a foot fetish, but it's more of a visual turn on than an actual tangible fetish. Nonetheless, when you are trying to reboot, even the sight of a woman's barefoot can be a trigger.
Being home alone. Watching Marvel's Agents of Shield and being reminded of the Avengers porn parody. Watching ANY mainstream film and being reminded of its goddamn porn parody that's most likely been made. Looking a t a pretty woman who resembles a pornstar I know. Random, undisciplined internet browsing.
I do not feel like i got any triggers. I watched porn because i was bored. Maybe that's the reason why im coping that well. But you never know...
You make a good point. I mean I spend a TON of time on the internet and now going without porn, I seem out of things to do.
This is a good thread because I am still finding out all my triggers and it's good to know what to look out for. *names (of people or things done in porn) * seeing anyone who looks similar to a pornstar. *certain items of clothing (fishnets ect) *stressed or difficult day *general browsing on the net even if your not looking to see anything there's usually something pop up on the screen that can trigger me even if it's just an ad. I realised as well that because I work shifts I kind of had different routines for each week so it's much more difficult to fight triggers for me one week than the other.
This is my experience too (well, coping well so far at least. I'll see how I'm doing in a month). I always watched porn mostly out of boredom, not because of any specific triggers.
For me it's: Stress. ( I want to escape the stressful situation so I go look at Pron) Boredom. ( I have free time and nothing particular to do so pron is an easy place to go) Horny. (Before flatlining, as i am currently, I would have moments of genuine horniness and I wanted to fill the demand. Rather than asking my wife, I would usually go for pron. It always worked and never said no.
My triggers are looking at girls in a dress showing some legs (nylon) or tops/bikinis that reaveal more than they hide. Not sure why but thats just my taste. That is also what starts my brain to start thinking more and more in the direction "Where can I see more of that?". How I try to fight it? Avoiding the situations/options where I could see this triggers: - avoid TV but when whaching TV I try to stick to a documentary like programs (NatGeo, Discovery...) - reading more - finding nice projects orientated in the direction of selfgrowth - going out for a walk - ...
Browsing the internet mindlessly and then... pic of an attractive woman. I'm already mindless and it can start to go downhill from there. So in short: internet addiction.
Boredom, sadness, certain periods of the day, songs, interviews, concert videos, clips, non porn pictures related to some kinds of fetishisms, bad words, non human sexual acts, people I like, people I like in school and real life, some fashion adornments or make-ups, some voices, accents, wet dreams, good food, some art, basically everything related to music, staying up late, basically anything that isn't clearly pornographic, and Bianca Casady. I can draw hardcore pornographic pictures without being aroused or triggered at all, not even a wet dream the night after, but let me watch a certain interview and I'm rolling on the floor crying with my hands tied in my back. For some reasons I do not think at all nudity to be a trigger. It's still pornography but it's not triggering.
stress, tiredness, random internet use (boredom), pictures of hot women in sexually-suggestive poses, lingerie, wanting to simply drown out everyday experience/reality for a few minutes/hours, feeling horny
I work from home so it can be particularly challenging..The Devil makes work for idle hands and all that!!
Music videos are the most triggering thing for me, especially because I generally like hip hop and dancehall music, and have a preference for black women. Terrible combination :-(
My triggers: 1. Boredom - porn is free, available everywhere all the time, and requires no effort on my part 2. Laziness - intellectual, emotional, physical - porn is perfect for procrastinating and switching off 3. Stress - I don't find porn relaxing, but it's very good at numbing the brain to everything else - like an anaesthetic 4. Physical horniness - if I haven't had an orgasm for a while, there's definitely a physical imperative making me horny generally... and once my brain is switched on to this it's almost impossible to distract it
I'm going to be honest I am turned on by a lot, one of my ex's told me that I had a good libido which she liked, now that I think about it even back then I tried to tell her I was a bit afraid of that and sexual things in that nature. She laughed about it but it makes me realize how long I've had this problem. But yeah mostly anything that involves a female human can do it. Whether it's inanimate or not. I'm going to try to focus on things to avoid now to help my goal now. So thanks.
