Hello, I have been gradually reducing my porn usage (in about a week I will be at the point where I just cut it out completely) for various reasons, this might sound like a really dumb question. But what the fuck do I do without it? I don’t have a girlfriend or anything but do you just use your imagination? I’ve been watching porn since I was 13 (19 now), so up until about 2 months ago; masturbation = porn. So taking that away has been really difficult. What are you supposed to do?

Yeah, use your imagination. Remember scenes you’ve enjoyed or recall enjoyable experiences from your past.
As a stepping stone you might check out erotica instead, to give yourself a starting point for your imagination. Check out r/sexstories for example.
You don’t have to stop watching completely. Like once every few days is completely harmless. That’s how older generation did it. It is good to do something different from time to time. Like special treat. Otherwise imagination. Or best thing to do would be to find GF.
Yeah I mean I guess your imagination is literally all you’ve left yourself with. Honestly unless you legitimately feel like you were addicted, like looking at porn in some way shape or form all day long I don’t see why you would want to stop. There is 100% nothing wrong with enjoying porn. It’s completely natural and an extremely helpful tool not just for self-satisfaction but also for self-exploration. I’ve discovered lots of things I never even would have thought of or realized that I was into if it weren’t for having seen it in porn at some point in time. When you’ve never had something it’s hard to realize that it’s something you want or how much it would mean to you to get it from a partner. I think porn is insanely helpful.
I’ve always just used my imagination!
