He highlights two of their stratagems in separate Letters to the […]

At the start of this year, I was reading about the negative effects of porn, so decided to see if I could completely stop watching it, even though I didn’t think that I had a problem with it. I’m not sure exactly how long it has been since I stopped, but a few months is […]

Read More… from 250 days – “Limitless” is what I feel right now
It definitely gets easier. I remember the first month, I described urges as “DDOS attacks,” because of how frequent and high-volume they were.

Benefits: Confidence is the #1 most obvious benefit I’m feeling right now. When you don’t feel shame of doing PMO, many aspects of my character improve along with it; speaking, eye-contact, and not fidgeting. I’ve also noticed my work in music composing has been more inspired. It’s certainly a lot more energetic and creative than […]

I just wanted to share that after more than a year struggling with this, I finally did it… I am not going to lie, it was hard, I think the worst process I have gone through. I relapsed, I failed at sex, I failed, I felt suicidal, depressed, anxious, trapped, hopeless… So guys out there, […]
Read More… from PIED – Now, even when I’m anxious it works. It was definitely the porn!
My best streak was 61 days, I’m on day 4 and that’s my first post in here, so I’m verry sorry if I’m doing something wrong, my mother language is not English (I taught English to myself) so if I misspell something or some phrases don’t make any sense keep that in mind. I was […]
