When I started this journey, I wasn’t happy, I was terrified and anxious all the time. I hated going to school and I drowned my depression and anxiety in video games and PMO. But I powered through and found the nofap community. (if you need help send me a chat) I decided to try it […]

I’m 6 months into my reboot (messed up 2-3x on p-site and 5x peeking on google images) but even with my rare setbacks my erections have gone from 60-70% for a few minutes in July and now in December I get 80-90% for 5+ minutes. I used to take 15mg cialis and now I take […]

50 days down! I never thought I’d be at this point. I owe this all to my beautiful fiance for never giving up on me. I’ll be honest, I’ve been dragging lately. My energy has declined and I’m looking for a boost. I don’t know if this is due to a flatline, or if this […]
Ever since quitting porn, these were the things that happened in my life: confidence in myself has skyrocketed. I am now assertive about my needs, wants, concerns, and feelings.

So the reason why I’m doing this is simple and, very likely, it’s your reason too: unsatisfactory sex. Unable to get or keep erections while having sex or even foreplay with that beautiful and sexy girl. No other reason; not waste of time, not your view of women, or any of those accessorial results people […]
After nearly twenty years of viewing internet pornography I finally decided I had had enough. My initial trigger was a documentary by a journalist named Lisa Ling. I knew I had a problem. I realized that I didn’t want my life to be remembered by my friends and family as a lifelong porn addict. I […]
Little back ground: for 7 years I was a heavy porn addict. The first year is all it took to put me in a deep severe PIED…. I had no clue what was going on. It was early 2012 when I discovered my issue… it was terrible. I had no idea that something like this […]

… Viewing pornography and masturbating became a daily ritual for me, if not multiple times a day. I had my favorite websites and favorite videos with my favorite porn actresses. They were like my personal harem. I would choose whichever body I fancied that day to serve my needs, as well as continually searched for […]
