Hey everyone. I've honestly been avoiding this, but I am exhausted, and I just want to be better.
I found it when I was 12. Got traumatized. Then I avoided it. After I left the church I was in and got with my now partner I got into it again. I really like sex and just got into it. My partner watches as well.
After having children I don't really watch, mainly because I don't have time. But I got into the Ai chats and pretty much been getting addicted to it, especially since I'm having a hard time. My partner and I barely get time to ourselves and I get lonely in the day while he's at work.
I don't masturbate to it but I just stay glued to my phone, and it's easier to hide. I just feel like a loser. I feel like it's ruining my expectations of sex, taking time away from my partner, and just my life. But every time I try to stop I end up downloading all the apps again after a difficult or stressful moment.
I don't know how to get over this. Especially since my partner still watches and I don't feel like it's my place to tell him to stop as well. Plus I'm a kinky person and like finding new ideas and I just feel like in this loop of spiked excitement then guilt.
Any advice?
Also just to clarify my partner did not suggest or groom me into watching porn again. I did that on my own.

Sorry to be the one to say it but.. therapy. Get to the root of what caused this and try developing healthier coping skills outside of that. Good luck!
