Here’s some questions and our self help tool to get you going…
Know the signs

If you’re worried about your porn habits – try asking yourself…

How long can I go without porn?
How would I feel if I can’t access porn anymore?
When I’m not watching porn, am I thinking about it a lot?
Can I masturbate without porn?

If you’re worried, check out the PPCS tool or head over to our NEED HELP section for more support. If you don’t think it’s a big problem, but just want to keep tabs on it, keep reading…

T – Talk
Feeling ashamed, guilty or bad about yourself when you’re struggling with porn is really normal. It can be worse if you think your whānau would be upset, or if porn is a no-go in your culture, community or faith.

These are crappy feelings to live with – so talking with a mate or adult you trust can really help. It feels risky, but it’s so worth it. If you want to talk to an adult, but think they’ll freak out, CLICK HERE or contact the pros at Safe to Talk.

A – Access

It sounds simple but ditching your phone or laptop at night and leaving it out of your room can help heaps with keeping your usage down. You could also get a filter on your device here that’ll make it harder to get onto porn sites.

It’s like putting a fence up. Sure, you can get past it, but it’ll make you stop and think.

 

B - Brain

Lots of things can ‘trigger’ your habits. Think about why, when, and how you use porn. Does it help you cope with stress? Boredom? Or do you watch it when you’re scrolling Insta just before bed?

Make a mental note of why and when you’re watching and then try and change it up. Go for a run, grab some food, do 20 push-ups, read a book, or even just call a mate instead and see what happens.

S - Success

Changing your porn habit is a process. It’d be nice if you could wake up and never think about porn again, but that isn’t success.

Success is about taking one step at a time – like choosing to go for a run or call a mate when you feel stressed and want to jump into some porn. It’s about putting one foot in front of the other, taking it day by day, and being brave.

There are some other tools to help you HERE to change things up for the best. Kia Kaha, you’ve got this.
