I'm worried I've watched too much, and that it was wrong to begin with. What do I do? I feel guilty.

Have a vvank and a beer, and relax.
Pop in some porn while you're at it.

You shouldn't need to ask. If you have decided that it was wrong, you just quit doing it, and there is no point in feeling guilty over something that you cannot change. You can't undo yesterday, so let it be where it belongs, in the past. Start with today and go forward from here. I have a nasty feeling that you are just wanting "absolution" from people here, so you can go back and continue to watch more porn. I think that because why else would a person who says he doesn't like what he has been doing, need to ask what he ought to do now? If you really hate yourself that much for something you've made a bad habit, you quit the habit. You don't have to have somebody else tell you that.

If you're a young man, in your late teens or twenties, it's normal, in some respects it's even healthy--what's the harm? "Too much" would be a waste of your time, that's all. I know it's hard to do sometimes but try not to feel 'guilty.' Tell yourself you're a guy and looking at beautiful women is normal, natural--which it is. Feeling 'guilty' is likewise a waste of time and eats away at your sense of self-respect, which can be doggoned dangerous. You need self-respect to function as a male of the species, to be creative, productive, a good parent, a good husband. My long-distance impression is that you're a fine fellow. At this very moment, all over the world, there are guys looking at pictures of women on the Internet, and I bet you a zillion bucks that no small number of them are Christians, some of whom will tell you that you'll burn in hell for looking an image of a naked lady. You won't, lad. Be well, Yank.

If you're a Christian then repent. That doesn't mean throw up an "I'm sorry" then go right back to it. Repent means to do a 180 degree turn basically. You explain to God how sorry you are then turn around and run like hell! You may always feel guilty, I personally kinda take that as Earthly punishment. I have a sin I committed over two years ago, that I still feel guilty about, and I just ask God to help me through it. With time it will get easier though. Repent and hang in there.

It is called a conscience. Some of your repliers have hardened themselves to it. They prefer to hang in there for the temporary pleasure, instead of dealing with the guilt. It is normal to be tempted by such things, but you can stop it now. I've read that watching porn can lead to a lot of negative things including actually changing the shape of your brain. Do some research yourself, it may encourage you to stop. You have control, take it and just say no. Good luck.

Guilt is a wasted emotion. I think Pornography is a horrible disease and like cocaine is an evil addiction. Soft porn leads to harder porn. Pretty soon seeing pictures and videos just isn't enough you need to find something else to feed your addiction. Just ask Ted Bundy. Anyway, this area requires a lot of prayer and just pretty much quitting cold turkey. I hope you are sincere in your question and not making light of such a horrible plight on society. Anyway, repent, pray, throw the garbage out and be strong in your conviction to change.

Dude, porn does nothing for you except make you feel better for about 5 minutes. It's a false feeling. If it were a truly good thing you'd feel good all the time. Porn you people a warped view of what love is suppose to look like. That's far from it.
When you finally meet someone special sometimes you begin to compare what you've seen to her. That's not far to you or her.
If you have a problem with porn I urge you to put your ego down and seek help. Talk to your local pastor. There are many groups out there that can help.
If the computer is a problem and you view porn there you can put software on your computer to help with that. try www.covenanteyes.com or family cyber sitter. But whatever it is I urge you to get help. Email me anytime if you want.

Wear a hair shirt... LOL.
And now for my serious answer: there's porn and there's porn: you all know what I mean. There are images so soul-destroying you can never forget them. Only you know what images you have seen, and how they made you feel inside.
If I were you, I'd stop looking, and embark on some kind of spiritual journey.

There is no point in feeling guilty about something you did in the past. Forget about it, focus on the present. If you no longer enjoy porn, then don't watch it. If you still enjoy it but feel guilty about it, let go of the guilt because it is the most useless feeling there is. If your taste for porn is interfering with your life and your relationships, then you should do something about it, but don't act out of guilt: act on what it's best for you on long term.
