Do you think there is any benefit from using less?

Using less brings on more interest in daily life . It changes the way you think . Instead of easy excessive and unnatural stimulation IE the girl isnt into you she's working kind of unnantural. When you stop you direct your focus to your own life .

Also less frequent use is better for sexual performance .

Porn addiction causes pied and all sorts of symptoms from being numb emotionally etc ..
.
.abuse of porn year after year is negative to your overall quality of life or potentially what could be . You need the energy and drive to achieve or keep going after what you want . Without it you can have the best idea in the world or a space aircraft but don't have the fuel to lift off. .... Porn addiction can have a similar effect. Year after year will begin to become a negative

 

In my opinion it is not beneficial, but many people use it as a strategy to end the addiction.
Like you got rid of it, and it comes back little by little 1 or two a month and it can get worse, depending on your situation

 

> Would this still be a problem? and if so why?

In my view, this is still a problem because:
1. The brain-draining, mind-fogging effects of using porn last a week or more, for me. This means if I was using twice a month, I'm in that miserable state for half of my life.
2. As an addict, the premise seems impossible. Using it at all causes the brain to want more and more, up to the point where it's at its maximum. If it's been reduced "forcibly," using it on a regular basis will cause it to become a "special treasure." Spend the weeks without porn looking forward to porn, and the time after it, missing it.
3. In reality, NOTHING is gained from porn, things are only lost. So what's the point? Less is of course better than lots, but some is much worse than zero, because this is a pure drain on my mind, body, and soul.

 

If your addiction is too great (and we feel it deep inside when it's too much for us), you should stop completely. Usually it's the little voice of addiction whispering to you to take a quick look and that 2 minutes is nothing.

If you want to quit smoking, you quit smoking. You don't start smoking less.

A great green and bald philosopher used to say "do or don't do, there is no try". Either you stop PMO or you continue PMO, there is no in between.

It improve eventually once you get of it.. my age is getting on and still I’m single..

 

I don't think you would suffer quite the same agony as you would from chronic, everyday overuse, but there wouldn't be any benefits per se, excepting perhaps a kind of economic regulation of libido.

 

I'm in the same boat . All I can think of is when I was younger and it wasn't the problem it is now. Which was much better in a lot of ways that and I can see benefits to stopping . Obviously being with someone is kind of what my biology wants and is driven towards but I don't think it's what's going to happen and porn is partly in the way . Too long in the tooth and I've been single for a long time

Depression is inevitable . I think depression is just part of life part of the grind but varies in severity and isn't always clinical The good thing is being with someone your just living life both miserable/happy IE life

It's not the being single that people are depressed about primarily it's everything else that is daily life like work finances etc etc .
Losing a parent . Not enough sleep etc etc

Plenty of people are depressed in some way wether it's full blown depression or not .

But yea I hear you we still have our own life and things to deal with being with someone or not .

My buddy from high school . His father commited suicide about 10 years ago . Married 2 kids a thriving business . Had everything you could want . But he always had depression and

You could be depressed because of your job and because maybe modern life is stressing your relationship .

Some people are depressed because theyve been on relationship and they love to be in one .

It's all relative really .
