There’s a fair amount of evidence that today’s porn is so stimulating that many users habituate to (grow bored with) whatever porn genre(s) they start with, and search for material they find more arousing.

Preface I have read many of the success stories posted on the forum and don’t want to add one more post to the hundreds that are already on here with laundry lists of withdrawal symptoms and new “superpowers” that they acquired.

Most of the flashbacks of porn are gone. Sometimes they still come up. Sometimes I can vividly remember the images. At that point, it seems like I’m playing porn in my head.

Hey brothers and sisters in freedom, Now one of the reasons am on this journey is PIED and the anxiety it gives me. Literally porn turns someone soulless especially if you’ve been unlucky enough like me to explore weird and damaging fetishes. So for the victory part, I have been clean 29 out of the […]
