Good luck on this quest!
For anyone else not seeking to quit porn, one thing I do is just watch the same favorite clips, only looking for new clips maybe once a month.
The way this practice feels is much different from binging on the firehose.
Another thing I do is mix exotic dancing with these clips. It lowers the "direct" stimulation level and adds a sense of beauty and rapture to the experience.
In fact, frontman1988, I would recommend this latter practice as a fallback. If you feel you absolutely need to look at something sensual, don't dive all the way down into the deepest smut you can find. Just allow a little titillation instead, and you won't have gone off the path as far.
