I literally rely on it to sleep half the time or as a stress reliever and coping mechanism and it isn't healthy when I do it as excessively as I do. I've tried to stop multiple times, only for my mind to start wandering and getting urges and then I just break my streak again after a day or two, I can't help it, it gets really distracting and I want to at least stop watching porn entirely and dial down my sex addiction itself to a healthy manageable amount.
