Just because a rule is religious doesnt mean its worthless to modern society. Porn is almost never good for mental health because our minds asdociate an orgasm with intimacy and if its a random stranger our minds dont work the same on orgasm. Its not natural. Animals dont watch porn. Anyways, how to stop: accountability. It seems hard, but if you tell your husband, i think he would maybe react badly at first for 10 seconds but then want you to get better and have much support. I would talk with your husband and/or therapist/religious leader and also have more sex with your husband just for the sake of intimacy. Intimacy in the form of non sexual affection along with healthy equal partnered sex (both parties are equal in sex) helps with the urge to look at porn. One thing is, if youre afraid to tell anyone, thats why youre watching porn. Porn is often caused by shame. And its a vicous cycle. Most americans watch porn. Its an epidemic so nobody, not even a pastor, priest, or imam will be shocked. Take care.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful advice!
