Can the right person make you stop watching porn?

FOR MEN

I’ve been seeing someone for almost 3 months. According to him, he used to watch porn constantly. Like, get home from work, smoke weed, and spend the rest of the night watching porn and jerking off.

When we started dating, he told me he genuinely lost the desire to watch it. I even told him it was okay if he did, so I don’t think he’s just saying it because he thinks I want to hear it. I’m not exactly thrilled by the idea of a partner watching porn, but as long as it doesn’t affect our sex life and I don’t have to hear about it, I don’t really care.

But he insists he truly doesn’t feel the need for it anymore.

I asked him why, and he said that in past relationships he felt ignored, unwanted, or like girls were always angry with him. He said I’m affectionate, sweet, and make him feel cared about, so now all he craves is me. He basically said he just needed someone to genuinely care about him.

Can the right person actually make someone lose interest in porn? (Not talking about actual addiction cases.)
